OUR BELIEFS
THE BIBLE:
We believe that all scripture from Genesis to Revelation in its original manuscripts is given by inspiration of God, written by men of God that were moved by the Holy Spirit. We believe the bible in the originals is without error, The final authority of God and that all scriptures center about the Lord Jesus Christ. We also believe that all scriptures were designed for our practical instruction.
2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 5:39; Romans 15:4
THE TRINITY:
We believe that the Godhead eternally exist and consist of three distinctive persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that these three are one God. They are coequal in power and glory.
Genesis 1:1; Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19; 1 John 5:7; 2 Corinthians 13:14
JESUS CHRIST:
We believe that Jesus Christ is eternal Son of God manifested in the flesh. He is the second person in the Trinity. Born of the Virgin Mary. Lived a perfect sinless life and gave Himself as a sacrifice for our substitute by shedding His blood and dying on the cross. Then resurrected from the dead. His death provided a payment to all sin (past, present, and future) to all man and made eternal life as a gift to those who believe.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4, John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 2:9; 10:10-14; Acts 13:38-41; 1 John 3:5
THE HOLY SPIRIT:
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity. He restrains evil; convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; regenerates all who believe in Christ; indwells, anoints, and seals the saved; and by His baptism unites all believers to Christ in one body. He controls the obedient Christians and empowers them for service.
John 14:16-17; 16:7-15; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:30
MAN:
All mankind is fallen, sinful and lost, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of man. The moment a person receives Christ as Savior, instantly, the Holy Spirit indwells the believer who is sealed until the day of redemption.
Romans 3:23; John 3:7; Ephesians 1:13-14; Titus 3:5
SALVATION:
We believe that God loves all men equally, desires all men to be saved, is not willing that any should perish, and invites all men to be saved. God freely and graciously offers salvation to all men. We believe that salvation is a unconditional free gift of God and is received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed for the forgiveness of all sin (past, present and future). Salvation is not earned by any amount of good deeds one has or will perform. It is not a part of faith as a condition to receiving eternal salvation. It is entirely by faith alone without any cost to the believer. We believe we can know we have eternal life today.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Galations 2:16; Romans 4:5; 11:6; Titus 3:6; 1 John 5:13
SATAN:
Satan is a person, the author of sin, and he and his angels shall be eternally punished.
Isaiah 14:12–17; Ezekiel 28:11–19; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Matthew 25:41
TWO BIRTHS:
We believe that the new birth results in a completely new creation, not a reformation of the old. The old nature remains as capable of evil as ever after salvation and has not been changed or improved in any way. The old nature can now be controlled by the indwelling power and filling of the Holy Spirit. The child of God has two births, one of the flesh, the other of the Spirit. Therefore he has two natures; a fleshly nature and a spiritual nature, resulting in warfare between the Spirit and the flesh which continues until physical death or the Lord’s return.
John 3:6; Romans 7:15-25; 8:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16-17; 1 John 1:8; 3:9; 5:18
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE:
We believe the child of God has the privilege of walking in fellowship with God (1 John 1:6-7). Spirituality, of which fellowship is a part, is sustained by the Christian’s yieldingness to the will of God, and obedience to the Word of God. Sin in the Christian’s life interferes with his fellowship with God. 1 John 1:9, which promises forgiveness and cleansing when we confess our sins, does not deal with salvation, but with the restoration of a child of God to that position where he may again walk in fellowship with God.
1 John 1:6-9; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Colossians 1:10; John 15:8; Galatians 5:22; 1 Corinthians 11:31
We believe that all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are called into a life of separation from the world to which they have been crucified by the death of Christ, and should abstain from worldly lust and such practices and habits as will retard spiritual growth or cause others to stumble and, thus, bring reproach upon the cross of Christ. The believer is called upon to walk worthily, keeping himself unspotted from the world, zealous of good works.
We believe that we are called with a holy calling, to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and so to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. But the flesh is never eradicated in this life and the individual chooses to keep the flesh in subjection to Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit or it will surely manifest its presence in our lives to the dishonor of our Lord.
