WHAT WE BELIEVE
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired, authoritative and infallible Word of God and is our sole rule of faith and practice.
It is the standard by which all human conduct and creeds should be tried.
(Ps. 119:6-9; 97-105; Rom. 14:4; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20- 21)
ABOUT JESUS
Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life in His humanity. He died a substitutionary death, sufficient for all mankind, was bodily resurrected ascended to Heaven and will personally come again.
(John 1:14; Mt. 1:20-25; Phil. 2:6-11; Heb. 2:14-17; Heb. 4:15; Rom. 3:22-26; John 3:16; Rom. 5:8-11; Acts 1:9-11; Zech. 14:4)
ABOUT THE TRINITY
There is only one true and living God Who is manifested in three eternal, coequal, and distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God possesses holiness, omnipotence, omniscience, love, mercy, and all other perfections.
All humankind owes to Him supreme faith and obedience.
(Gen. 1:26; Dr. 6:4; Mt. 3:16-17; 1 Pet. 1:2)
ABOUT SALVATION
Human beings can be forgiven of sin and justified solely by grace, through faith in the redeeming work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Only by repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and lord can acceptance with God be attained.
(Gen. 15:6; Hob. 2:4; Rom.3:21-31; Jn. 3:16; In. 6:29; Jn. 14:6; Eph. 2:8; Heb. 11)
ABOUT ETERNITY
We eagerly await the imminent and visible return of our lord Jesus Christ, at which time He will raise the dead
and judge all people. Believers will enjoy an eternal state of blessedness in heaven, while unbelievers will experience
eternal separation from God in Hell.
(Dan. 12: 2; Mat. 25:31-36; In. 5:28-29; 1 Cor. 15: 50-57; Phil. 3: 20-21; Rev. 20:7-15)
