We
believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy
3:16,17).
THE
ETERNAL GODHEAD
We
believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).
THE
FALL OF MAN
We
believe that man was created in the image of
God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell
from perfection (Romans 5:12).
THE
PLAN OF SALVATION
We
believe that while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe
on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
SALVATION
THROUGH GRACE
We
believe that we have no righteousness and must
come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ
(Ephesians 2:8).
REPENTANCE
AND ACCEPTANCE
We
believe that upon sincere repentance, and a
whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified
before God (I John 1:9).
THE
NEW BIRTH
We
believe that the change which takes place in
the heart and life at conversion is a very real
one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
BAPTISM
AND THE LORD'S SUPPER
We
believe that baptism by immersion is an outward
sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19). We believe
in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by
the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the
vine (I Corinthians 11:24, 25).
BAPTISM
INTO THE HOLY SPIRIT
We
believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit
is to endue the believer with power; and that
His incoming is after the same manner as in
Bible days (Acts 2:4).
THE
SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
We
believe that it is the will of God that we walk
in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).
THE
GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
We
believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow
upon the Christian; and that we should show
spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled
life (I Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).
MODERATION
We
believe that the experience and daily walk of
the believer should never lead him into extremes
of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).
DIVINE
HEALING
We
believe that divine healing is the power of
Christ to heal the physically sick in answer
to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).
THE
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We
believe that the second coming of Christ is
personal and imminent (I Thessalonians 4:16,
17).
CHURCH
RELATIONSHIP
We
believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves
with the visible Body of Christ (Acts 16:5;
Hebrews 10:25).
CIVIL
GOVERNMENT
We
believe that rulers should be upheld at all
times except in things opposed to the will of
God (Romans 13:1-5).
THE
FINAL JUDGEMENT
We
believe that all shall stand some day before
the judgement seat of God, and there receive
eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
HEAVEN
We
believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal
home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation
7:15-17).
HELL
We
believe that hell is the place of eternal torment
for all who reject Christ as the Savior (Revelation
20:10,15).
EVANGELISM
We
believe that soul winning is the most important
responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
TITHES
AND OFFERINGS
We
believe that the Biblical example for the support
and spread of God's cause is by giving of tithes
and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians
9:7).
