STATEMENT OF FAITH
- We believe that all Scriptures (the Old
and New Testament) is inspired by the Holy Spirit, accepted
as absolute, as it was originally (2 Tim 3:16; 1 Cor 2:13)
- We believe in the Eternal Godhead who
has revealed Himself as One God existing in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit; disable but indivisible (Mat
28:19; 2 Cor 13-14)
- We believe in the creation, test and
fall of men as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual
depravity and inability to attain divine rightness (Rom
5:12, 18)
- We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man (Luk 1:26-35; Joh 1:18; Isa 7:14, 9:16)
- We believe Christ died for our sins,
was buried and rose again the third day, and personally
appeared to His disciples (1 Cor 15:1-4; Rom 4:25)
- We believe in the bodily ascension of
Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and personal, literal and
bodily coming again the second time for the Church (Joh
14:2-3; 1 Thes 4:13-18)
- We believe in the salvation of sinners
by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and
sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain
remission of sins (Eph 2:8-9; Heb 9:12; Rom 5:11)
- We believe in the necessity of water
baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead
in order to fulfill the command of Christ (Mat 28:19; Act
2:34-36, 19:1-6)
- We believe in the baptism of the Holy
Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, with the
Scriptural evidence; namely speaking in other tongues as
the Spirit gives utterance (Act 2:1-4, 8:14-17, 10:44-46;
Gal 3:14-15)
- We believe in the operation of the gifts
of the Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12-14, as manifested
in the Early Church
- We believe in the Spirit-filled life,
a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness
in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith (Eph
5:18; 2 Cor 6:14, 7:1)
- We believe in the healing of the body
by Divine Power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects
as practiced in the Early Church (Act 4:30; Rom 8:11; 1
Cor 12:9; Jam 5:14)
- We believe in the Table of the Lord,
commonly called Communion or the Lords supper, for
believers (1 Cor 11:28-32)
- We believe in the eternal life for believers
(Joh 5:24, 3:16). We also believe in punishment for unbelievers
(Mar 9:43-58; 2 Thes 1:9; Rev 20:10-15)
- We believe in the reality and personality
of Satan and eternal judgement of Satan and his angels (Mat
25:41; Rev 20:10-15)
