| Statement
of Faith:
The
Bible
We
believe in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the
Scriptures and that it has supreme authority in all
matters of faith and practice II Timothy 3:16; II
Peter 1:20-21
God
We
believe that there is one God, eternally existent
in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Psalm
90:2; Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 3:21; John 1:1-2; John
10:30; Hebrews 9:14; Revelation 1:8
Jesus
Christ
We
believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son,
our sole Mediator; we believe further in His pre-existence,
His incarnation, virgin birth, His sinless life, His
substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection
from the grave, His personal, visible, imminent, return
from Heaven. Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:23;
John 1:14; John 20:10-31; Acts 1:11; I Timothy 1:15;
I Peter 2:24
The
Holy Spirit
We
believe in the Holy Spirit, His personality and His
activity in regeneration, that He indwells all believers
and that every Christian is commanded to be filled
with the Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 6:19; II Corinthians
1:22; Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 5:18
Man
We
believe that man was created in the image of God,
that he sinned in Adam, and that he is now a sinner
by nature and by choice. Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3:17;
Romans 3:22-24; Romans 6:23; I Timothy 2:13-14; James
3:9
Salvation
We
believe men receive salvation by grace through faith
in Jesus Christ, apart from human merit, works, or
ceremonies and that all true believers shall be kept
forever by the power of God. John 10:27-29; Romans
5:1-12; Ephesians 2:8-10
Eternal
Life
We
believe in the resurrection of both the saved and
the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection
of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection
of damnation. I Corinthians 15:12-58; Revelation 20:4-6,
11-15
