STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE

 

1. We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word and revelation of God, inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed. Ps. 19:7-11; II Timothy 3:16-17; 11 Peter 1:16-21

2. We believe in the total deity and total humanity of Jesus Christ -- His virgin birth; that He is the incarnation of the Father for whom and by whom all things were created. John 1:1-14; Phil. 2:5-6

3. We believe in the universality and exceeding sinfulness of man, and that man is totally lost apart from Jesus Christ. Ezek. 18:4; Romans 3: l-26; Romans 6:23

4. We believe in the substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He, by the grace of God tasted death for every man, and that all must be born again, or are forever lost. Hebrews 2:9; John 6:44-69; John 3:1-18

5. We believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that He ascended bodily into the heavens, and is now at the right hand of God as our mediator, priest, and advocate. Acts 3:12-26; John 20; Heb. 9:24; 1 Cor. 15:12-28

6. We believe in the Triune God manifest in three persons -- God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the infallible interpreter of the infallible Bible.

7. We believe in the personal and premillenial coming of our Lord Jesus Christ - (1) for His saints; (2) with His saints to reign a thousand years over this earth. I Thess.4:13-18; I Cor. 15:50-55; Rev. 19:19-20; Rev.20:1-6

8. We believe that Heaven is a place of eternal blessedness and that Hell is a place of eternal suffering. IICor.5:l-10; Rev. 20:1-15, 21-22

9. We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for all Christians, one baptism but many fillings. Romans 8:14-27

10. We believe in the Great Evangelistic Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.” Matt. 28:16-20; Acts 1:8

11. We believe that all true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ will maintain a lifestyle of good works. Eph. 4:1-32; Titus 2:1-5; Titus 3:1-11

12.  We believe in the personality and reality of Satan.  Rev. 12:1-10; Matt. 4:2-11; Isaiah 14:12-17; John 8:44
