| Our
Confession Of
Faith |
|
|
1.
We believe the Bible is the
inspired Word of God (2 Tim.
3:16)
2. We believe there
is one God eternally
existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. (Gen.1: 1; John
4:24)
3. We believe in the
full deity of Jesus Christ
(John 1:1); in His virgin
birth (Is.7: 14; Mat 1:23;
Luke 1:35); in His atoning
death on the cross (Eph.
1:7; Col. 1:14); in His
bodily resurrection (John
11:25); in His ascension
(Acts 1:11) in His personal
return to take up His church
before the Great Tribulation
(1 Thes. 4:13-17). We also
believe in His premillennial
return to establish His
kingdom on earth (Rev.
19:11-16).
4. We believe that
all men are by nature sinful
and lost, and that
regeneration through the
Holy Spirit is absolutely
essential for salvation
(Rom. 3:19)
5. We believe that
Satan is a person; that he
was good when he was
created; but following his
rebellion against the Most
High, he became a fallen
angel doomed to eternal
perdition (Es. 14: 12-15; Ez.
28: 12-15; Rev. 20: 10)
6. We believe that
Hell is a place of eternal
punishment where the lost
will suffer, being aware of
their condition (Mat. 25:
46; Luke 16: 24).
7. We believe that
the Holy Spirit is the third
person of the holy Trinity.
He convicts the world of
sin, regenerates the
believers, leads them in all
truth, and by His
indwelling, enables them to
live a godly life (John
16:8)
8. We believe that
men are justified on the
single ground of faith in
the shed blood of Jesus
Christ at Calvary. (Act 13:
38-39).
9. We believe in the
eternal security of the
believers. (John 10:28-29)
10. We believe that
the New Testament Church is
an organized body of
baptized believers
practicing the ordinances
prescribed by Scripture, and
actively engaged in
fulfilling the Great
Commission. (Acts 2:41-42,
47; Mat. 28: 19-20).
11. We believe that
baptism is a scriptural
ordinance requiring the
immersion of believers only
(Acts 8:38-39).
12. We believe that
the Lord’s Supper is a
scriptural ordinance of the
Church to be partaken by
obedient Christians of like
faith. (1 Co.11: 23-29).
13. We believe in the
resurrection of life for the
believers, and the
resurrection of damnation
for the lost (John 5:28-29).
