What We Believe
The Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally inspired by God to be His only inerrant & infallible Word, as found within the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation. We believe each of these 66 books were written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, in such a definite way that their writings were completely inspired and free from error, as no other writings have ever been or ever will be inspired. We believe God not only inspired every word, but has preserved them through the ages. We believe the King James Version is the preserved Word of God (Psalm 12:6-7; II Timothy 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:19-21).
God
We believe in one God, who is eternal, self-existent, infinite, and immutable. We believe He has one nature, one essence, and one substance, yet manifests Himself to man in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; I Timothy 1:17; James 1:17; I John 4:4).
Son
We believe Jesus Christ to be the one and only Savior of mankind. We believe Jesus Christ to be eternally God and to possess all the attributes of Deity. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was virgin born, that He was God incarnate, and that the purposes of the incarnation were to reveal God, to redeem men, and to rule over God's kingdom. We believe Jesus Christ never relinquished any attributes of His Deity, but merely veiled them. We believe He lived a perfect, sinless life, at the end of which He offered Himself for all mankind as a substitutionary sacrifice for man's sin. This sacrifice was a just payment to God for the forgiveness of sin. This payment was made by His death through the shedding of His blood on the Cross and was accepted by God upon His resurrection. We believe He ascended into Heaven after His resurrection to be seated at the right hand of the Father, waiting for the time of receiving His church at the Rapture, and returning seven years later to earth to rule and reign as King for 1,000 years (Psalm 2:7-9; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 43:11; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1, 1:3, 14, 18, 29; Romans 3:19-25; Romans 5:6-15; Philippians 2:5-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Timothy 2:5; I Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:10-15; Hebrews 7:26, 9:24-28; I Peter 1:19, 2:2; I John 1:3; Revelation 20:1-6).
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit of God is a person who has personality and all the attributes of Deity. We believe that He is the Divine Teacher who assists believers to understand and appropriate the Scriptures and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be submissive to and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit has always been involved in the affairs of mankind. However, we believe He has a special ministry which began at Pentecost and will continue until the Rapture. This ministry includes convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit was also sent to regenerate, sanctify, seal, and fill all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:5-6; John 14:16; Acts 1:5; Acts 11:15; I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19-20; I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:17-18; 5:18; I John 2:20, 27).
Sin
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and, of himself, utterly unable to abstain from his sin or remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23; 5:12; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3; 4:17-19).
Salvation
We believe man's only remedy & deliverance from his lost condition is the realization of his lost, sinful condition, and a turning to Jesus Christ as his personal savior; for by Grace and through Repentance by personal Faith in only the Lord Jesus Christ, man can be delivered from his sin. We believe the only way to salvation is through the sacrifice Christ made on the Cross in man's place. We believe that all those who reject Jesus Christ as their Savior are already condemned to an eternity in the Lake of Fire (Genesis 5:1-5; Acts 4:19; Acts 16:31; Romans 3:10-23; Romans 5:6-12; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-6; Revelation 20:11-14). Plan of Salvation.
The New Testament Church
We believe the church began with the calling of the twelve apostles by Jesus Christ. We believe the local church is God's only institution to carry out His work today. We believe the local church is composed of members who have been saved and baptized according to the command of Christ, and have voluntarily united together for the purposes of worship, fellowship, service at the Lord's Table. We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control. We recognize full-submersion water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the Scriptural ordinances of obedience for the church in this age. (Matthew 16:16-18, 28:19-20; Acts 1:15, 2:41-43, 11:15, 13:1-4, 15:19-31, 18:18, 20:28; I Corinthians 3:9, 16, 5:4-7, 13, 11:23-26, 15:51-58; Ephesians 1:12-14, 5:25-30; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Timothy 3:4-15).
The Last Days & Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the literal interpretation of the Scriptures in their grammatical and historical context. We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. We believe in the pre-millennial return of Christ to the earth and His literal rule of one thousand years. Following this one thousand years is the Great White Throne judgment and then the new Heaven and new earth (I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Thessalonians 5:1-9; Revelation 19-22).
