We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (John 3:16), that He was
born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:20), died for us on the cross (Luke
23:33,46) though He was without sin (John 8:46), that on the third day
He rose again (Luke 24:7), that He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9) and
is seated at the right hand of God the Father (Luke 22:69). We look for
His coming again (Matthew 25:31) to judge the living and the dead
(Revelation 20:12,13).
* We
believe in life everlasting (John 3:16) to all who are saved by the
precious blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:9, Revelation 12:11).
* All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
(2 Timothy 3:16).
*
We Believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the
inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the
complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine
and final authority for Christian faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2
Peter 1:20-21; Matthew 5:17-18)
*
We Believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and
eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:1,26; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1,3; Acts 5:3-4; Romans 1:20;
Ephesians 4:5-6; Colossians 1:16-17, 2:9)
*
We Believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been
conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the
cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further,
He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right
hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
(Isaiah 53; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Romans 9:5; 1 Corinthians
15:3-4; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 2:1)
* We
Believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord
Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the
believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer
for godly living and service. (John 15:26, 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2 Timothy
1:7)
We
believe all men are sinners who can be saved only through God's grace
by turning from sin to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
