-
SCRIPTURE: We believe the Old and New
Testaments alone to be the inspired, revealed Word of God, without error,
authoritative and sufficient in all matters pertaining to life and
godliness.
-
GOD: We believe there is only one God
and Sustainer of all, existing in three distinct Persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, Co-equal in nature and authority and possessing the totality of
the divine essence.
-
JESUS CHRIST & SALVATION: We believe
Jesus is the eternal, infinite God-man, except without sin, born of a
virgin. He is the perfect savior having died, was buried and rose
again the third day. He is exalted and will imminently return. We believe
that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, by faith in the
substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ, on the Cross.
-
MAN & SIN: We believe man was created
by God, in His image with mind, will and emotion but has marred through sin.
Man is guilty of original and personal sin and therefore is totally depraved
and condemned.
-
HOLY SPIRIT & CHURCH: We believe the
Holy Spirit is the eternal Spirit of God, personal and possessing the
entirety of the divine essence. He indwells, seals and empowers every
believer. We believe the church is the fellowship of all true
followers of Christ, who make up the Body and Bride of Christ. It is
universal (or invisible) in scope and local (visible) in purpose, practicing
Baptism and Communion.
-
FUTURE STATE & LAST THINGS: We believe
in the bodily resurrection of both the wicked, to judgment and righteous, to
reward. We believe in the imminent rapture (Pre-tribulation,
Pre-millennial), the Great tribulation, the bodily and visible second coming
of Christ and His Millennial reign on the earth, the final judgment and
eternal bliss.
-
SATAN & DEMONS: We believe Satan is a
powerful living spirit created by God but now fallen and desperately wicked.
He is opposed to all that is good and is the avowed enemy of Christ,
Christians and the gospel. Satan is aided by myriads of fallen angels, or
demons.
