Statement of
Faith
We believe:
-
In one
holy, loving, all-powerful, and gracious Creator
God who exists in three Persons of the Godhead:
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-
That
the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of
God, the full and final authority for all
matters of faith and practice.
-
In the
deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death,
bodily resurrection, heavenly ascension,
priestly intercession and that He will soon
return to judge the living and the dead, in the
resurrection of the dead and the life of the
world to come, some into eternal damnation and
others into the resurrection of eternal life.
-
That
Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for
human sin and that His death is the only
sacrifice for the sins of the entire world and
that it is only efficient in the lives of those
individuals who, through repentance and faith in
Him, lay hold of eternal life, and that He was
raised bodily on the third day, and that He
ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of
God the Father.
-
In the
Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance,
who gives eternal life to believers, and who
lives in them to conform them to the image of
Jesus Christ and, in the indwelling and the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of
speaking in tongues as the initial physical
sign.
-
That
Christians are composed of born again baptized
believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who
voluntarily gather in regular fellowship
edifying the Body of Christ, perfecting the
Saints and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ
to the world and who live lives of faith that
make evident the Good News that people of all
nationalities can enter the kingdom of God by
repenting of their iniquities and accepting and
putting their trust in Jesus Christ.
-
That
scriptural baptism is by full immersion of a
believer in water in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
-
That salvation comes not by
works, but only by God’s grace through faith and
trust in Jesus Christ and that the Bible teaches
that without holiness no man shall see the Lord
and that the doctrine of sanctification is a
definite, yet progressive work of grace,
commencing at the time of regeneration and
continuing until the consummation of salvation.
