WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE,GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith.
John 5:39; Romans 15:4; I Corinthians 10:11; II Timothy 3:16
We believe there is one God, Creator of all things, existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is all-powerful and has the ability to do whatever He wills. His sovereignty is only exercised in harmony with His goodness, righteousness, and other attributes, and it extends to the entirety of creation for all time.
Genesis 1:1; I Chronicles 29:10; Jeremiah 10:10, Matthew 6:9; Acts 1:7; Romans 8:14-15; I Corinthians 8:6; I Corinthians 15:24; Ephesians 4:6
We believe though Jesus was a man.
He is also God. The Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God.
He was conceived of the Holy
Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. He rose
from the dead, ascended into heaven, where he sits at the right hand of the Majesty on High.
Luke 1:34; John 1:1-2,14,18; Romans 3:24-26, 8:34
We believe the Holy Spirit is not merely a force, but has all the attributes of a
personality.The Holy Spirit’s work brings us to Christ and to salvation. It
equips us for ministry, empowers us for service, and produces spiritual fruit in our lives John3:3-6,14:16-17;Corinthians 12:7-11,13; Ephesians 4:30
SALVATION, BAPTISM,MAN, AND SIN
We believe that salvation
is a gift of God’s grace. We cannot earn our salvation,but it is freely bestowed upon all who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. We must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. John 1:12; Acts 16:30-
33; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-9
We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water for all believers
. John 3:3-6, Acts 2:41
We believe man has both a physical body and a soul or spirit. Due to our ancestral parent’s failure to obey God, sin was introduced into the human
race experience, causing the need for reconciliation to God our creator. Although man was created in the image of God, he must be born again by the Holy Spirit, in order see the kingdom
of God.Genesis 1:26-27; John 3:3; Romans 3:10,23
We believe Man's heart has been corrupted, and therefore he commits sins. Some of these sins are of commission and some are sins of omission. They may be tangible acts, or they may be deficient attitudes, motives, or perspectives.
Romans 3:23, 6:23
CHURCH,ANGELS AND DEMONS, AND FUTURE EVENTS
We believe Jesus instituted the church as a means of Christians coming to worship, encourage,and help one another in their Christian lives and to enable them to be more effective in reaching out to others.
Acts 2:41-42, Hebrew 10:25
We believe that the bible teaches that God uses a numberless army of angels to help execute His will in heaven and earth, and that among their duties is ministering to Christians. They are personal beings, spirits that God created before Adam and Eve.
Genesis 19:1,15
We also believe that Satan was originally the highest angel, but
because of his pride and rebellion he fell. A large number of the other angels
also rebelled against God. He (Satan)
is the entity who oversees the forces of darkness in the world and seeks to overthrow the will of God.
1 Peter 5:8
We believe there will be a resurrection of the righteous and of the wicked.
2 Corinthians 5:10
Those who believed in Jesus and accepted Him as their Lord and Savior
will then be confirmed to eternity in heaven with Him.
Thessalonians 4:16-17 Those who didn’t believe in Jesus and accepted
Him, will be confirmed to eternal
separation from Him in Hell.
Revelation 20:15
