1. Holy Scriptures
WE believe the Bible, consisting
of 66 books which make up the
Old and New Testaments, to be
the verbally inspired word of
God and that it is with out
error in the original writings.
It is the final authority in all
matters concerning doctrine,
faith, and life.
[II Timothy 3:15, II Timothy
3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12-13, II
PETER 1:20-21]
2. God
WE believe that there is only
one God, and that God is a
spirit. He is an infinite being,
all sufficient, holy, just and
merciful.
[I Corinthians 8:4-6, John 4:24,
Deuteronomy 6:4, Psalm
145:17-20]
3. The Trinity
WE believe in one God, ever
eternal, existing in three
persons; the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit.
[Matthew 3:16-17, II Corinthians
13:4, Titus 3:4-6, John 15:26]
4. The Creation and Fall of Man
WE believe that God created the
Heavens and the Earth. We
believe that man was created in
the image of God. WE believe
that when man sinned, he
incurred both physical and
spiritual death, which is
separation from God. WE believe
that all human beings are born
with a sin nature.
[Genesis 1:1, Genesis 2:1,
Genesis 2:7, John 1:1-3, Acts
17:26, Romans 5:12, Romans
5:19-20, Colossians 1:16]
5. The Death and Resurrection of
Jesus Christ
WE believe that Jesus Christ is
fully God and fully man. WE
believe that Jesus Christ died
for our sins as the Scriptures
clearly state. He is our
substitutionary sacrifice and
our mediator. Life and salvation
for mankind is only through Him.
WE believe Jesus Christ died on
a cross, was buried and rose
again on the third day after His
death in the same physical body.
WE believe He ascended into
Heaven and is seated on the
right hand of God the Father. WE
believe that by His finished
work on the cross He has SECURED
for every believer redemption,
salvation and everlasting life.
[Mark 16:19, John 3:16-17, John
19:16-19, John 19:40-42, Romans
1:4, Romans 5:8-9, I Corinthians
15:3-4, I Peter 1:3]
6. The Holy Spirit
WE believe that the Holy Spirit
is the third person of the
trinity. WE believe that He
convicts the world of sin, of
righteousness and of judgment.
He indwells the body of every
believer of Jesus Christ. He
seals, empowers, enlightens and
instructs every person who is
born again.
[John 14:16-17&26, John 16:7-8,
Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:30]
7. Heaven and Hell
WE believe in a literal Heaven
and a literal Hell. Heaven is a
place where all born again
believers will be with Jesus. A
place where there is no more
crying, or tears or pain. Hell
is the place of eternal torment
and punishment for all who
reject Jesus Christ.
[Psalm 9:17, John 8:24, John
14:1-6, II Thessalonians 1:7-9,
Revelation 20:10-15, Revelation
21:1-3]
8. Satan
WE believe that Satan is an
actual being. He is a fallen
angel. He is known as; the
prince of demons, the god of
this age, a liar, an enticer, a
deceiver, and adversary of Jesus
Christ and His church and the
accuser of the brethren.
[Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel
28:12-19, II Corinthians 4:3-4,
Revelation 12:7-9, Revelation
20:7-10]
9. Separation and
Sanctification
WE believe that the Bible clearly teaches that true followers of Christ are not to conform to this world that those who are "Born Again" should be separated from the world unto Jesus Christ. This means that "Born Again" believers should live their lives separating themselves from sinful practices and to be Holy as He is Holy. God’s provision for living a Holy life is the Believer identifying himself with Jesus Christ in His death, Burial and resurrection as well as the indwelling of the person of the Holy Spirit and the powerful Word of God. We support this statement with the following scriptures:
[Colossians
3:1-5, II Corinthians 6:14-17, Titus 2:14, II Corinthians 7:1, Romans 6:1-14, John 17:17]
10. The Resurrection of the
Dead
WE believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the just at the rapture of the church and the unjust at the end of time. We support this with the following:
[I Thessalonians 4:16-17, I Corinthians 15:51-57, Revelation 20:11-15, John 5:28-29]
