We hold as true, all that is contained within its inspired pages. Here are a few things in particular that we understand of its content:
We believe that there is only one true and living God. He is absolute in every aspect of His nature, perfect in attributes, holy in character, and the supreme Creator and Sustainer of Heaven and Earth.
He is infinite in wisdom, marvelous in power, and amazing in love. He unites in Himself the Tri- unity.
These three personal distinctions are: GOD...the Father, GOD...the Son, and GOD...the Holy Spirit, yet one in divine essence, being and nature.
Ex 20:2-3; 1 Cor 8:6; Deut 4:6; Rev 4:11
We believe that God the Father, the first person of the Tri-unity, orders and disposes all things according to His own purpose and grace. As the only absolute and omnipotent ruler of the universe, He is sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
Isa 46:9; Ps 145:8-9: 1 Cor 8:4; Ps 103:19; Rom 11:36 .
We believe the Deity of the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ possesses all of the divine excellencies, and in these He is coequal, coeternal, and shares the same substance as the Father. He was begotten in this physical world by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. He is truly God and truly man in indivisible oneness.
Jn 1: 1, 2, 14; 10:30; 14:9; Heb 1:1-3: Matt 1:20; Lk 1:26- 38; Mic 5:2; Jn 5:23; Col 2:9
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person equal with the Father and the Son. He possesses all the attributes of personality and deity including intellect, emotions, will, eternality, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and truthfulness. He is the administrator of the things of God upon this earth during this age and is the prime source of the new birth.
He indwells believers and restrains evil.
The broad scope of His divine activity includes convicting the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ, and transforming believers into the likeness of Christ. Every believer receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the time of salvation
We believe and teach that angels are created beings and therefore are not to be worshipped. Although they are a higher order of creation than man, they were created to serve God and worship Him.
Lk 2:9-14; Heb 1:6-7, 14; 2:6-7; Rev 5:11-14; 19:10, 22:9
We believe that the Holy Spirit so superintended the human authors that, through their individual personalities and different styles of writing, they composed and recorded God’s Word to man, without error in the whole or in the part.
The meaning of Scripture is to be found as one diligently applies literal and contextual interpretation under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
2Tim 3:16; Ps 89:34; Heb 6:18; 2 Pet 1:20-22; Matt 5:18; 2 Tim 3:16; Jn 7:17;
16:12 -15; 1 Cor 2:7-15; 1 Jn 2:2
We believe that there is only one true and living God. He is absolute in every aspect of His nature, perfect in attributes, holy in character, and the supreme Creator and Sustainer of Heaven and Earth.
He is infinite in wisdom, marvelous in power, and amazing in love. He unites in Himself the Tri- unity. These three personal distinctions are: GOD...the Father, GOD...the Son, and GOD...the Holy Spirit, yet one in divine essence, being and nature.
Ex 20:2-3; 1 Cor 8:6; Deut 4:6; Rev 4:11
We believe that salvation is obtained only by grace through faith in the Person and finished work of God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not from man nor of the works of man.
Jn 3:16, Eph 2:8-9
We believe that all men are totally depraved and dead in their sins. No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is “born again.” A new nature imparted from above and a new life implanted by the Holy Spirit through the Word, is essential to salvation. Genuine regeneration is revealed by fruits of repentance that are demonstrated in righteous attitudes and conduct. These are evidences of salvation not causes.
Isa 64:6; Jn 1:12-13; Jn 3:5, 18; Gal 6:15; Phil 3:4-9; Tit 3:5-6; 1 Pet 1:18-19
We believe our redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ who was made to be sin for us, dying in our place. God declares righteous, those who, through faith in Christ, repent of their sins and confess Him as sovereign Lord. This righteousness is totally apart from any virtue or work of man and involves the imputation of Christ’s righteousness to us. Nothing and no one can add to that finished work of Christ. His salvation is wholly of grace.
Eph 2:8-9; Tit 3:5-7; Lev 17:11; Matt 26:28; Rom 5:6-9; 2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:13; Eph 1:7; 1 Pet 1:18-19
