We Believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17;
2 Peter 1:21).
We Believe there is one God, eternally existent
in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew
28:19; John 10:30).
We Believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33);
His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35); His sinless
life (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious
and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9);
His bodily resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension
to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return
in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16).
We Believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration
by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness
of human nature; that men are justified on the single ground of faith
in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God's grace and through
faith alone are we saved (John 3:16-19, 5:24; Romans 3:23, 5:8-9;
Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5).
We Believe in the resurrection of both the saved
and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and
they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
We Believe in the spiritual unity of believers in
our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians
3:26-28).
We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life
(Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
