Our Beliefs
THE SCRIPTURES = The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16) presenting to us the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and constituting the Divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (2 Pete 1:21).
THE GODHEAD = Our God is a trinity in unity, manifested in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is infinitely perfect, being in His three persons co-existent, co-equal, and co-eternal. The Son begotten of the Father, accepting earthly limitations, true God and true man; conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the Cross, the Just for the unjust as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on High as our great High priest, and He will return again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and justice. The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, Executive of the Godhead on earth, the Comforter sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to indwell, to guide, and to teach the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION = Man is created being, made in the likeness and the image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world (Romans 5:12). " All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one:" (Romans 3;10). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil, and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to god (Ephesians 2:8).
SALVATION = Salvation is made possible through the meritorious work of Jesus Christ on the cross and through Holy Spirit conviction. Godly sorrow works repentance and makes possible the experience of the new birth, and Christ formed within us is the Gift of eternal life (Titus 2:11; Romans 10:13-15; Luke 24:47; Titus 3:5-7).
CHURCH = The true Church is the body of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 4:15), He being the Head. Its earthly constituents are all true believers, born again by the Spirit (John 3:6) and by the word (1 Peter 1:23). To it is delegated the various gifts and offices of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7-11 and 27, 28) necessary for the successful fulfillment of Christ's Great Commission to the Church, as given to the disciples in Matthew 28:19 and Mark 16:15-20.
