We Believe
1) That the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the final authority for all Christian faith and life.
(2 Timothy 3:16, John 5:24)
2) In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Ephesians 4:6, Matthew 28:19)
3) That Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary He is God's one and only son. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins and rose three days later bodily from the dead, then after instructing his apostles ascended into heaven, where He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
(1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 John 4:2, Matthew 1:20, 23,1 John 2:1, Matthew 26:64, John 3:13; 11:51-52, Luke 24:20, Ephesians 1:20-23)
4) That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to convict men of sin, and to regenerate the believing person as He indwells guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and service. (John 16:8-11)
5) That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
(Romans 3:10-19; 10:9-10, Genesis 1:26-27)
6) That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.
(Romans 3:24-26; 10:9-10, John 14:6)
