- All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God. (II Tim 3:16; II Peter 1:21) Scripture is inerrant,
complete and the only infallible authoritative Word of God.
-
The Godhead eternal exists in three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
and these three are one God. (John 1:1-14; Matt 28:19-20; Deut 6:4)
- Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God, took up on Himself humanity
being conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary.
His life was sinless, His miracles literal. His death was a vicarious
and
atoning death. He rose from the dead on the third day, ascended
into heaven and is now interceding as our High Priest and will personally
come and visibly set up His millennial kingdom. (Col 1:15; Phil
2:5-8;
I Peter 2:24-25)
- The Holy Spirit indwells the believer at the moment of salvation and
is the comforter and helper as well as the convictor of sin. We
believe that God, in grace, gives gifts to every believer for use in
the ministry
to which He calls us. (John 7:38-39; John 14:16; John 17:15)
- Man was created innocent and fell in the Garden of Eden, therefore
natural man is spiritually dead. Man can be saved by God's grace
only by believing that Jesus Christ was the only sacrifice for our sins.
Man is saved by faith alone, not by any works, for our redemption
is
accomplished solely through Christ's work which never fails, not
man's work, and is sealed by the Holy Spirit. (John 5:24; Romans 5:1;
8:28-38;
Eph 1:13; Phil 1:6)
- A Christian life is to
be separated from the world, "walking
after the Spirit, not after the flesh." (Romans 8:12-13, 13:14;
Gal 5:16-25; Col 3:1-10; II Cor 7:1)
- We believe in the pre-millennial rapture (imminent return of Christ),
tribulation (seven years - Israel's 70th week), and the return
of Christ to reign 1,000 years with the saints (Millennium), after which
the
eternal state will be unfolded. (John 14:3)
