Doctrinal Statement
The Scriptures
:
We believe that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” by which we understand that the whole
Bible is inspired in that holy men of God were “moved by the Holy Spirit” to write the very words of God. We believe
that this divine inspiration extends equally to all parts of the writings as they appeared in the original manuscripts.
The Godhead
:
We believe that the Godhead eternally exits in three Persons – The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit
– that that these three are one God; co-equal and co-existent.
Man
:
We believe that man was originally created in innocence and that he fell through sin, and as a consequence of
his sin lost his spiritual life, becoming dead in trespasses and sins.
Christ’s Advent
:
We believe that the eternal Son of God came into this world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy,
and become the Redeemer of a lost world. He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, received a human body and
a sinless human nature.
Salvation
:
We believe that owing to death through sin, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again. This redemption
has been accomplished solely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made to be sin, dying in our stead, and that He
was bodily and physically raised from the dead for our justification. We believe that the new birth of the believe is an act
of God the Spirit and comes only through individual faith in Christ.
The Holy Spirit
:
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the blessed Trinity, though omnipresent from all eternity,
indwells every believer since the day of Pentecost, and by His baptism unites all of Christ’s own into one body. He
is the source of all power and all acceptable worship and service.
The Church
:
We believe that God has ordained that through the local church the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be spread and
that it is the duty of everyone who is born again, to seek out a local fellowship for furtherance of the Gospel and his own
edification.
Last Things
:
We believe in the literal resurrection of the body, the second coming of Christ, the everlasting of the saved
and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
