We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments
as the supernaturally inspired Word of God, and inerrant in the original
writings, and that they are the supreme and final authority in the faith
and life. II Timothy
3:16,17; II Peter 1:21; Jeremiah 1:9; Psalm 119:89
We believe in one
God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 48:16; Matthew 3:16;
II Corinthians 13:14
We believe that
Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin, and is
true God and true man.
Luke
1:35; Matthew 1:18,19
We believe that
man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and not only incurred
physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God;
and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case
of those who have reached moral responsibility, become sinners in thought,
word and deed. Romans 3:19,23;
Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3,12
We believe that
the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a
representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in
Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
Romans 4:25; Romans 5:16,18; Ephesians 1:7;
I Peter 1:3-5
We believe in the
resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into
Heaven, and in His present life there as our High Priest and Advocate. Acts
2:32; I Timothy 2:5; I John 2:1
We believe in
that blessed hope, the personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 1:11; I
Thessalonians 4:16,17;
II Thessalonians 2; Titus 2:13
We believe that
all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy
Spirit and thereby become the children of God.
Ephesians 2:8,9
We believe that every born again person has been baptized
by the Spirit into the Body of Christ and therefore has the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 12:13
We believe that
every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has still an old and sinful nature
which wars against the soul.
Romans 7:15,25
We believe in the
eternal security of all born again souls. John 10:28,29; Romans 8:35-39; I
Corinthians 1:4-8; I Peter 1:5
We believe that all the saved are called into a life of
separation from all worldly and sinful practices.
James 4:4; Romans 12:1, 2; II Corinthians
6:14; II Corinthians 7:1
We believe in the
bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the lost.
John 5:28,29; John 11:25,26; Revelation
20:5,6,12,13
The Ordinances of this church are Baptism and the Lord’s
Supper. The mode of baptism (immersion) is to be administered to all who
have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Matthew 3:16; Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 11:24,25
We believe in the
personality, reality, and power of Satan, who ultimately will be cast into
the lake of fire. Revelation 12:9, 10; Matthew 4:2-11
