Our Doctrinal
Statement
We Believe:
1. The Old and New Testaments are inerrant as
inspired by God, and the only authority for faith and practice. (II Tim. 3:16; II Peter 1:20, 21).
2. In one God, eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Gen.. 1:26; Col. 1:15-17; Gen. 1:2; Acts. 13:2).
3.
In the fall of man, his universal depravity,
and that of himself he is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. (Gen. 1:26 & 31, 3:1-7; Rom.
5:12; Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10 & 23).
4. In salvation by grace through faith in the
atoning blood of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - who is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of a virgin, became man and was sinless, in order that He might
redeem mankind and reveal the Father - and that all who receive the Lord Jesus are
"born again" of the Holy Spirit and become children of God. (Job 10:12, 22:2; Eph. 2:8, 9; Lev. 17:11; Heb. 9:22; Rev. 12:11; John
3:16; Matt. 1:20; Is. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Is. 53; John 1:1 & 14; John 1:18;
John 3:3; I Peter 1:23; Rom. 8:16; Gal. 4:6, 7).
5.
In the universal, Holy Church of Jesus Christ
composed of all believers; and the local church a part of the greater. (Psa. 135:1; I Cor. 12:12-14; Acts
11:26).
6. In the personality of Satan, angels, and other
spirit beings both good and evil. (Job 1:6; Matt. 4:1; Psa. 34:7; Luke
22:43; Psa. 106:37; Mark 5:1-9; Eph. 3:10; Rom. 8:38).
7. In the blessed hope, the personal,
visible and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13). |
