-
We believe that
the scriptures of the Old and New Testament are word of God, and
the final authority in faith and conduct.
-
We
believe in one God, the Creator of man and all things, eternal existing in
the three persons in the
threefold relationship, that of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We
believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and are
God incarnate, the God-Man.
-
We
believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby
incurred not only physical death but also the spiritual death, which is the separation
from God; that Adam's sinful nature; and that when they reach the state of moral responsibility
become sinners before God
in thought, word, and deed.
-
We
believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe on Him are freely
justified before God and stand
before Him accepted in the character and merit of Jesus Christ.
-
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, in His ascension into
heaven, and that in His present glorified body. He is the head of the Church, the Lord of the
individual believer, the High Priest over the House of God, and Advocate in the Family of God.
-
We
believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational Second coming of
Christ; first to receive his own to Himself, and later to set up His earthly kingdom and to reign over
redeemed Israel and all nations; that is, to bring peace and blessing to the whole world.
-
We
believe that all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are
born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the Holy Spirit and a new nature, and also are
baptized by
the Holy Spirit into the Body
of Christ.
-
We believe that God is the spiritual Father of only those trust His son,
Jesus Christ, as Savior, and
that the only those saved through faith in Christ are spiritual brothers and
sisters.
