What We Believe

We Believe...

  • We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired.  It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God; in it's verbal, plenary inspiration, so that is divinely authoritative Standard for every age and every life.

 

  • We believe that the God head exists eternally in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God. We believe God as absolute and sole creator of the universe And that creation was by Divine feat, not through evolutionary process.

 

  • We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man.  That He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, in works and wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four Gospels.  That He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day.  Later He ascended to the Father's right hand Where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers.  And from whence, He is coming again personally, bodily, and visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom.

 

  • We believe that since His death by His shed blood, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin.  Redeeming us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.  Men are saved and justified on the simple and single ground on the shed blood.

 

  • We believe that such salvation with its forgiveness of sins, its impartation of a new nature, and its hope for eternal life is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership, or man's effort and is of pure grace. 

 

  • We believe that a true believer is eternally secure, that he can not lose his salvation.  But, sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of His heavenly Father.

 

  • We believe that all who receive Christ become joint heirs with Christ at death.   Their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness.  At the rapture their bodies will be raised to the likeness of the body of His glory and dwell forever in His divine presence.

 

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person, is God, and possesses all the divine attributes.  He indwells all believers, baptizes, and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation and fills them in response to confession of sin and yieldedness.
