The Holy Scriptures: We believe
the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the
ONLY verbally inspired Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter
1:16, 21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12-13)
The True God: We believe there is one, and only one, living
and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, the Maker and
Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth, that in unity of the
Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost. (Ex. 20:22-23; I Cor. 8:6; Rev. 4:11; Matt.
3:13-17;Matt. 28:19)
Deity: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal
Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God. (Isaiah
53:6; John 20:28; Luke 24:36-43; Acts 1:9-11; II Cor. 5:21;
Isaiah 9:6; I Cor. 5:3; I Peter 2:24; Luke 24:36-43; Matt.
25:31; Phil. 2:6-7; Mark 16:19)
Holy Spirit: We believe in the Deity and personality of the
Holy Spirit, that He seals, endues, guides, teaches,
witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believer. (John 14:6, 17,
26; Matt. 28:19; Luke 1:35; Gen. 1:1-3; John 1:33; Acts 11:16;
Luke 24:49; Rom. 8:8, 14, 16, 26-67; Eph. 1:13; John 16:7-15)
Satan: The reality and personality of Satan, the author of
sin and the cause of the fall; that he is the open and
declared enemy of God and man; and that he shall be eternally
punished in the Lake of Fire. (Job 1:6-7; Isaiah 14:12-17,
25-41; Rev. 20:10; I Peter 5:8-9; Ezekiel 28:13-14)
The Creation: We accept the Genesis account of creation and
believe that man came by direct creation of God and not by
evolution. (Gen.1, 2; Col. 1:16-17; John 1:3)
Depravity of Man: We believe that man was created in the
image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the race
fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from
God; and that man in and of himself, is unable to remedy his
lost condition. (Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:22-23, 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3,
12)
Atonement for Sin: We believe that men are justified on the
single ground of faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
(Rom. 5:1-25; Eph. 2:8-9; Heb. 9:22; Gal. 3:16)
Resurrection: We believe in the resurrection of both the
saved and the unsaved; the conscious and endless punishment of
the unsaved; and the conscious and endless blessedness of the
saved. (John 5:28-29; Rev. 20:12-15, 56)
Second Coming of Christ: We believe in the second coming of
Christ; that when He comes He will remove from the earth His
Church, then pour out the righteous judgments of God upon the
unbelieving world. Afterwards Christ will descend with His
Church and establish His glorious and literal kingdom over all
the nations for a thousand years. (John 14:3; Acts 1:11: Thess.
4:16-17; Rev. 20)
Respect for Civil Government: We believe that civil
government is of divine appointment, and that governors of
states and nations should be obeyed when the laws they seek to
enforce are not in conflict with the Bible. (Rom. 13:1-7;
Matt. 22:21; Acts 4:19-20)
The Church: We believe that the Church which is the body
and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up
of all born again persons of this present age. (Eph. 1:22-23,
5:25-27; I Cor. 12:12-14)
