We believe.....
|
|
.... .The Bible (The Old and New Testaments) to be the only inspired, infallible authoritative Word of God.
|
|
.... .That there is one God, the Creator of all things who is infinitely, perfect and eternally existent in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
|
|
.... .In Jesus Christ, who is true God and true Man, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of all men. He arose bodily from the dead ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. And, we believe in His personal return in power and glory.
|
|
.... .That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost. That only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds for justification and salvation.
|
|
.... .That water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by believers during the present age.
|
|
.... .In the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the present-day manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit (1Cor 12 & 14, Rom. 12)
|
|
.... .In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting joy with the Lord and of the unbeliever to judgement and everlasting conscious punishment.
|
|
.... .In the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ. The true Church is composed of all those who are born-again. Through this new birth we are united together in the Body of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church. Every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.
