What We Believe |
- We believe that love for one another as
Jesus loves the believer manifests our
discipleship, proves our love for God and
symbolizes our authority as a New Testament
church. Love is therefore the great commandment
of Christ upon which all others are dependent.
- We believe in the infallible, verbal
inspiration of the whole Bible and that the
Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and
practice.We believe in the personal triune God;
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in divine
perfection.
- We believe in the Genesis account of
Creation.
- We believe that Satan is a fallen angel, the
arch enemy of God and man, the unholy god of
this world, and that his destiny is the eternal
lake of fire.We believe in the virgin birth and
sinless humanity of Jesus Christ.
- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ.We
believe the Holy Spirit is the divine
Administrator for Jesus Christ in His churches.
- We believe that Man was created in the image
of God and lived in innocency until he fell by
voluntary transgression from his sinless state,
the result being that all mankind are sinners.
- We believe that the suffering and death of
Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind
and is efficacious only to those who believe.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection and
ascension of Christ and the bodily resurrection
of His saints.
- We believe in the premillennial, personal,
bodily return of Christ.
- We believe that the depraved sinner is saved
wholly by the grace of Jesus Christ, and the
requisites to regeneration are having a change
of mind toward God (recognizing your total
sinful state and total depravity before God) and
accepting God’s free Gift through the Person of
the Lord Jesus Christ, and that the Holy Spirit
convicts sinners, regenerates, seals, secures,
and indwells every believer.
- We believe that all who come to Jesus Christ
for salvation are eternally secure in Him and
will not perish.
- We believe that God deals with believers as
His children, that He chastises the disobedient,
and that He rewards the obedient.
- We believe that Jesus Christ established His
church during His ministry on earth and that it
is always a local, visible assembly of
scripturally baptized believers working in a
covenant relationship to carry out the
Commission of Christ, and each church is an
independent, self-governing body, and no other
ecclesiastical body may exercise authority over
it.
- We believe that there are two pictorial
ordinances in the Church; Baptism and the Lord’s
Supper. Scriptural baptism is the immersion of
believers in water, administered by the
authority of a New Testament church. The Lord’s
Supper is a memorial ordinance, remembering the
death of our Lord Jesus Christ and the payment
He made on our behalf. It is an ordinance
reserved for members of the local church.
- We believe in freedom of worship without
interference from the government and affirm our
belief in civil obedience, unless the laws and
regulations of civil government run contrary to
the Holy Scriptures.
