|
We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
|
|
|
|
We believe God is Triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).
|
|
|
|
We believe man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell
from perfection (Romans 5:12).
|
|
|
|
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon for all who
believe in Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
|
|
|
|
We believe we have no righteousness and must come to God, pleading the righteousness of
Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
|
|
|
|
We believe that upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are
justified before God (Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 1:9).
|
|
|
|
We believe the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversions is a very real
one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
|
|
|
|
We believe it is the will of God that we are sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith
(Hebrews 6:1).
|
|
|
BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER
|
|
We believe baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work
(Matthew 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical
use of the bread and the juice of the vine
(1 Corinthians 11: 24, 25).
|
|
|
BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
|
|
We believe the baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers and that His incoming is
after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4).
|
|
|
|
We believe it is the will of God that we daily walk in the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32).
|
|
|
THE GIFTS & FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
|
|
We believe the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian (1Corinthians 12:1-11) and
that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22).
|
|
|
|
We believe divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of
faith (James 5:14-15)
|
|
|
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
|
|
We believe the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
|
|
|
|
We believe laws should be upheld at all times, except in things opposed to the will of God
(Romans 13:1-5).
|
|
|
|
We believe some day all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive eternal life
or death (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
|
|
|
|
We believe heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers
(John 14:1-3; Revelation 7: 15-17).
|
|
|
|
We believe hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as their Savior
(Revelation 20:10-15).
|
|
|
|
We believe soul-winning is the primary responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
|
|
|
|
We believe the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving
tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
