These Things We Believe In the verbal and plenary inspiration of all the Scriptures in their original manuscripts. We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of Salvation through Jesus Christ, and God's plan and purpose in the ages. In the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and these three agree in one. In the Deity and Virgin birth of Jesus Christ, His blood atonement, His bodily resurrection and His ascension to the right hand of God the Father as our Mediator. That Salvation is by Grace alone and the conditions to Salvation are repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ. That man is justified by Grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone and is accounted righteous before God through the righteousness of Christ. In the eternal security of all believers and that each believer is accountable to God for his life and will answer for it at the judgment seat of Christ. In Baptism by immersion only and this administered only to those who have been born again and that Baptism has no saving power within itself, but is a pre-requisite to church membership. That the Lord's Supper should be taken only in remembrance of Christ, and that the bread and wine are symbolic of His broken body and shed blood. In the visible, personal and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ. In the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in Hell. In sanctification as a continual process of cleansing in the believer by the presence of God the Holy Spirit in the believers life and will be completed at the return of Christ when He will change our vile bodies like unto His. That the Great Commission was given to every saved person and we are to seek to win the lost, even unto the uttermost parts of the earth, to a personal faith in Jesus Christ. |
