What We Believe
Concerning the Scripture
We believe the Bible is God's written revelation to man. It
is verbally inspired in every word, and absolutely inerrant in the
original documents. We affirm the infallibility, sufficiency, and
authority of Scripture.
Concerning God
We believe That there is but one Living and true God,
infinite, all-knowing, perfect in all His attributes, one in
essence, eternally existing in three Persons -- the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit - each equally deserving worship and obedience.
Concerning Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His
Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His
substitutional and atoning death through His shed blood, in His
bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the
Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
Concerning Man and
Salvation
We believe that the salvation of man, who is sinful and lost,
is instantaneous and accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit
through the instrumentality of the Word of God when the repentant sinner --
enabled by the Holy Spirit -- responds in faith. This salvation is wholly of
God by grace on the basis of the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, the merit
of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human merit or works. All the
redeemed are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever.
Concerning the Holy Spirit
We believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit. As the
supernatural and sovereign Agent in regeneration, the Holy Spirit
baptizes all believers into the Body of Christ at the moment of
salvation. The Holy Spirit also indwells, sanctifies, instructs,
empowers them for service, and seals them unto the day of
redemption.
Concerning the Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and
the unsaved; the saved unto the resurrection of life and the unsaved
unto the resurrection of damnation.
Concerning the Church
We believe that all who put their faith in Jesus Christ are
immediately placed by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual
Body, the church, of which Christ is the head. The purpose of the
church is to glorify God by building its members up in the faith, by
instruction of the word, by fellowship, and by advancing and
communicating the gospel to the entire world. The formation of the
church, the Body of Christ, began on the Day of Pentecost and will
be completed at the coming of Christ for His own at the rapture.
