1. We believe that the Old
Testament and New Testaments were inspired by God and are a complete
revelation of His will for the salvation of men. (11 Timothy 3:16,
11 Peter 1:21)
2. We believe in the
existence of One God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally
in the three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4,32:4, 1
John 5:7-8)
3. We believe that Jesus
Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, and all who accept
Him as Savior and Lord are justified on the ground of His shed
blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. (Matthew
1:20, 23, 1 Peter 3:18)
4.We believe that the
Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, and
empower the believer and to convince the world of sin, of
righteousness and of judgment. (John 16:7-13, 1 Corinthians
3:16)
5. We believe that man was
originally created in the image of God; he fell through
disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death.
All men are born with a sinful nature but can become righteous
through the atoning work of the lord Jesus Christ. (Romans
5:12)
6. We believe in
sanctification as a setting apart of the life of the believer for
the Master's service, and in the Baptism or infilling of the Holy
Spirit, which empowers him for holy living and effective Christian
service.
We believe in
the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in the church as recorded
in 1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14, and as generally manifested in the
current charismatic movement in the various denominations. (11
Timothy 2:21)
7.
We believe that the church consists of all who believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and are born again of the Holy Spirit, The local
church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for
the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for
prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel, and observance of the ordinances of baptism, by
immersion, and the Communion of th Lords Supper. (Acts 2:41-42,
Collosians 2:13, Luke 24:47)
8.
We believe in the existence of a spirit world of God and heavenly
beings and of Satan and his host of demon powers. (John 4:24, Psalms
104:4, Ephesians 6:12)
9.
We believe that there will be a bodily resurrection of the just and
of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the
latter, a resurrection unto judgment, (Acts 24:15,, Revelations
20:6, 12-15)
10.
We believe that the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is
imminent and will be personal, visible, and premillennial, (Matthew
26:64, Luke 1:32-33, Daniel 7:14)
