This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final source of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that the following statement of faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible.
We believe in the inspiration and preservation of the word
of God. That is, it was inspired of God the moment it was
spoken and then the spoken word was written down by holy
men of God (1 Pet. 1:20-21; 2 Tim. 3:16; Jer. 36:1-4); we
believe the God who inspired His word is also powerful
enough to keep His word (Psa. 12:6-7; Matt. 24:35).
Furthermore, we believe that the King James Bible does not
just contain the word of God but is in fact the very words of
God and His final authority in these last days.
We believe that the Scriptures interpreted in their natural,
literal sense, reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules
of life which define man's responsibility in successive ages.
These are divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs
man according to His purpose. These dispensations are the
subjects of detailed revelation in Scripture.
(Gen. 1:1-2:8; 12:1-3; 15:18-21; Ex. 18-19, II Sam. 7:8-16; Matt. 26:28; Rev. 21-22)
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three
persons - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost - each co-eternal in
being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory,
and having the same attributes and perfections.
(Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19, II Cor. 13:14; Jn. 14:10-26, I Jn. 5:7)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God
became Man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by
the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary in order that He might
reveal God and redeem sinful man.
(Isa. 7:14; 9:6; Lk. 1:35; Jn.1:1-2,14; II Cor. 5:19-21; Gal. 4:4-5; Phil. 2:5-8)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our
redemption through His death on the cross as a representative,
vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is
made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
(Acts 2:18-36; Rom. 3:24-25; I Pet. 2:24; Eph. 1:7; I Pet. 1:3-5)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended in to heaven and is
now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest, He
fulfills the ministry of representative, intercessor, and advocate.
(Acts 1:9-10; Heb. 9:24; 7:25; Rom.8:34; I Jn. 2:1-2)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person, who convicts the world of
sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and that He is the supernatural
agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ,
indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption.
(Jn. 16:8-11; Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 12:12-14; II Cor.3:6; Eph. 1:13-14)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the divine Teacher, who enables
believers to understand and appropriate the Scriptures, and that it is
the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled with the Spirit.
(Eph. 1:17-18; 5:18; I Jn. 2:20, 27)
We believe that God is sovereign in the bestowal of spiritual gifts to
every believer. God uniquely uses evangelists and pastors and teachers
to equip believers in the assembly in order that they can do the work of
the ministry.
(Rom. 12:3-8; I Cor. 12:4-11, 28; Eph. 4:7-12)
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness
of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited
a sinful nature, and became alienated from God, and that
man is depraved and of himself utterly unable to remedy his
lost condition.
(Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:22-23; 5:12, 23; Eph. 2:1-3; 4:17-19).
We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to man
by grace, and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the
forgiveness of our sins. Salvation is available to all through
faith.
(Jn. 1:12; Eph. 1:7; 2:8-10; I Pet. 1:18-19)
The local church is a group of like minded believers that
have been saved and are striving together to serve the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Once someone gets saved, they get put into the body of Christ,
which is the church. This consists of all saved believers.
The Lord Jesus Christ is going to call away His church
before the tribulation period. He is our blessed Hope and we
believe it could be any day.
The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come back at the end of the
tribulation and set up His Kingdom on earth.
Real people serving a real God with a real purpose.
