- We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word
of God. The Holy Bible is the collection of sixty-six books
from Genesis to Revelation, which was written by men who
were moved by the Holy Ghost. It is the standard on which we
should base all human conduct and opinions. We use the King
James Version because we believe it is the best English
translation of the Bible available.
II Timothy
3:16-17
- We believe in one true God who is made up of the
Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit. All are equal in person and nature.
I
John 5:7
- We believe in the absolute deity, the incarnation, the
virgin birth, the vicarious atonement by the shed blood, and
the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah
7:14; Matthew 1:20; I Corinthians 15:3-4
- We believe that Satan is the author of all powers of
darkness and sin, and is destined to eternal judgment in the
Lake of Fire.
II Corinthians 4:4; Revelations
20:10
- We believe that God created the heavens, earth, and all
life after its own kind by a direct act, not by the process
of evolution.
Genesis 1,2; Colossians. 1:16-17;
John 1:3
- We believe that the sin of Adam plunged the whole human
race into condemnation, so that all men are born in sin and
are without excuse before God.
Genesis 3; Romans
5:10-19
- We believe that our only escape from condemnation of sin
is the redemption wrought by Jesus Christ who without sin
suffered, died, and rose again.
Hebrews 10:4-14;
John 14:6
- We believe that salvation from sin is by faith in the
finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This salvation
is by the grace of God alone, not by works. All who take
Christ as Savior are eternally secure in
Christ.
Ephessians 2:8-9; Acts 16:31; Titus
3:5-7; Romans 10:9-13; John 10:28-29
- We believe that the Church is made up of all believers
everywhere, but that it is manifested through the local
church, which is a congregation of believers governed by the
Word of God.
Matthew 16:18; I Corinthians
12:12-28; Ephessians 5:23-33; Hebrews 10:25
- We believe that baptism by immersion identifies us as
believers in Christ and pictures the death, burial, and
resurrection of Christ. Baptism is not necessary for
salvation, but it is a part of the obedient believer’s
growth in Christ.
Acts 8:36-39; Romans
6:3-5
- We believe in the everlasting life of the saved in
Heaven and the everlasting death of the lost in Hell and the
Lake of Fire.
John 3:15-18; Matthew
10:28
- We believe in the bodily, personal, premillennial return
of Jesus Christ, before the seven-year tribulation period,
to catch away His Church. Believers who have died will rise
at His coming and will be caught up with living saints to
meet the Lord in the air.
I Thessolonians
4:13-18
- We believe that Christ will return with the Church at
the end of the tribulation to judge the nations and set up
His Kingdom on earth. The wicked will stand at the Great
White Throne Judgment to receive their final
doom.
Matthew 24:29-31; Revelations
20:11-15
