We believe that the Bible, consisting
of Old and New Testaments only, is verbally inspired by the Holy
Spirit, is inerrant in the original manuscripts, and is the infallible
and authoritative Word of God.
We believe that the one triune
God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Adam, created
in the image of God, was tempted by Satan, the ruler of this world,
and fell. Because of Adam's sin, all men have guilt imputed, are
totally depraved, and need to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit
for Salvation.
We believe that Jesus Christ
is God, was born of a virgin, baptized by John the Baptist in the
Jordan River, crucified as the Lamb of God, rose again from the
dead, and ascended to heaven, where He is presently exalted at the
Father's right hand.
We believe that salvation consists
of the remission of sins, the imputation of Christ's righteousness,
and the gift of eternal life, received by faith alone, apart from
works.
We believe that the return of
Jesus Christ is imminent, and that it will be visible and personal.
We believe that the saved will
be raised to everlasting life, and blessedness in heaven and that
the unsaved will be raised to everlasting and conscious punishment
in hell.
We believe that the church,
the body of Christ, consists only of those who are born again, who
are baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ at the time of regeneration,
for whom He now makes intercession in heaven and for whom He will
come again.
We believe that Christ commanded
the church to go into all the nation and preach the gospel to every
person, baptizing and teaching those who believe.
