We believe in:
The supernatural and complete inspiration of the Scriptures: That they are inerrant, and that their teachings and authority are absolute, supreme and final. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)
The tri-unity of God: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:22; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
The personality and sovereignty of God: The personality and deity of Jesus Christ, begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and Very Man. The personality and deity of the Holy Spirit Who indwells every true believer and testifies of Christ, seeking to occupy us with Him and hot with ourselves, not our experiences. (John 1:1-3, John 1:14, Matthew 1:18-23, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 16:7 – 15, Acts 5:3-4, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9, Ephesians 3:16 & 5:18, Acts 1:9 Galatians 5:22 – 23)
The resurrection of Jesus Christ: That His body was raised from the dead according to the Scriptures, and that He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God as the believer’s advocate. (Luke 24:36 – 43; Hebrews 4:14 – 16, Acts 1:11)
The sinfulness of man: That all human beings are born with a sinful nature, are totally depraved and need a Savior from sin. (Genesis 3:1 – 24; Romans 5:12; John 3:3-5)
The atonement: That Jesus Christ became the sinner’s sacrifice before God and died as the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. (John 3:16, John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 3:23 – 26)
The necessity of the new birth: Salvation is by grace through faith, and not of works. Saving faith will maintain good works in the life of the believer. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5 – 7; 1 Peter 1:18 – 19)
The Church: That the church is composed of all who trust Christ as their only Savior, and that all believers are called into a life of separation from worldly and sinful practices (Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:11-16; 5:24-32; 1 Corinthians 12:12 -1 3).
The literal resurrection of the body, both of the just and unjust (Luke 24:36-43)
Satan: His existence and personality as the great adversary of God and His people: Revelation 12:1-10, his judgment (John 12:31, and his final doom (Revelation 20:10).
The everlasting blessing of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost: (Romans 14”10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11-15; John 3:16; Matthew 25:46
The evangelization of the world: The supreme mission of God’s people in this age is to preach the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15)
The Second Coming of Christ according to the Scriptures (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:16-17; Revelation 3:19; 19:11-20:6
