We believe...

  1. In the word by word inspiration of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, that they are without error in the original manuscripts, and that they are the final authority in all matters of faith and living.

    II Tim. 3:16 & 17; II Pet. 1:20 & 21; Jn. 10:35; II Pet. 3:16
     

  2. In one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit, co-eternal in Being, co-equal in power and glory, of the same essence, and having the same attributes.

Isa. 43:10; Deut. 4.35; 6:4; II Cor. 13:14; Mt. 28:19 & 20; 3:16 & 17; Jn. 14:16; 5:26; Deut. 33:27; Rev. 1:4-8; Isa. 44:6; Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8; 9:14; Jn. 1:1; Acts 5:3 & 4

  1. In the Lord Jesus as true God and true man; in His virgin birth, sinless humanity, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, present advocacy, and His personal, bodily, visible, and premillenial return.

    Jn. 1:1-3; Heb. 1:1-14; Col. 1:16 & 17; Rev. 1:17 & 18; Heb. 13;8; Mt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:26-35; I Tim. 2:5; Heb 4:15; 7:26; II Cor. 5:21; I Pet. 2:22, 24; Eph. 1:7; Isa. 53:4-12; I Cor. 15:3 & 4;Heb. 9:24-28; Mt. 28:6; Mk. 16:6; Lk. 24:6 & 7; I Cor. 15:3-8, 12-21; Acts 1:3; Heb. 7:25; Rom. 8:34; I Jn. 2:1 & 2; I Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 19:11-16; 20: 1-6.
     
  2. That the Holy Spirit is a person; that believers are born of the Spirit, sealed with the Spirit, indwelt with the Spirit, and baptized by the Spirit into the body of Christ at the moment of conversion; that all believers are commanded to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit.

    Jn. 15:26; 16:7-8, 13 & 14; Acts 5:3; 15:28; Eph. 4:30; Jn. 3:3-6; Eph. 1:13 & 14; Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 12:12 & 13; Eph. 5:18.
     
  3. That man was created sinless and perfect by God in a special act of creation, but willfully disobeyed God and brought sin and death into the world; that since the Fall of man, all men are born sinners with wicked, deceitful hearts; that none are righteous, all are alienated from God, enslaved to sin, and under the wrath of God.

    Gen. 1:27, 31; 2:15-17; 3:1-7; I Tim. 2:14; Rom. 5:12, 19; Jer. 17:9; Rom. 3:10; Eph. 4:18; Rom. 6:17; Eph. 2:3.
     
  4. That salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God, entirely of grace and apart from anything man can do to either earn or keep it; and that every person is responsible to either receive salvation by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ whose precious blood was shed on Cavalry to obtain the forgiveness of sins, or to reject salvation.

    Eph. 2: 8-10; Rom. 3:21-24; 4:1-8; Jn. 1:12; I Pet. 1:18 & 19; 2:24 Isa. 53:11; Jn. 6:37-40; 10:27-30.
     
  5. That Satan is a created being who rebelled against God and induced mankind to sin; that he will be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire. Since he was cast out of heaven along with his evil angels, it has been Satan’s plan to seek to hinder and destroy the work of God and to attack God’s people through deception, accusation, and oppression. Satan’s present day activities will continue until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    Ezek. 28:12-17; Isa. 14:12-15; Gen. 3:1-13; I Thess. 3:5; Rev. 20:1-4;7-10
     
  6. In the bodily resurrection of all humanity; the saved to unending life with the Lord, the unsaved to judgment and unending punishment in the Lake of Fire.

    Jn. 5:28 & 29; Lk. 23:43; 16:19-31; Phil. 1:23; Rev. 20:5, 6, 11-15.
     
  7. That it is the responsibility of each believer, motivated by the love of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to witness for Christ and to use their spiritual gifts to build up the body of believers and to live sacrificially for the proclamation of the gospel to all the world. Salvation includes every necessary provision for godly living. Therefore, those who have been born again are totally accountable for their lives.

    .Mt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15; Lk. 24:46-48; Jn 20:21; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:13 & 14; 15:20 & 21; I Cor. 15:34; II Pet. 3:11 & 12; Mt. 24:14. I Peter 1:18&19; 2:24; Phil. 1:6; Eph. 4:22-24; Rom. 6:6-18; I Jn. 1:8 & 10; II Pet. 1:3; I Cor. 12:4-31; 14:1-40; Eph. 4:1-13.
     
  8. That the two ordinances of the local church are the baptism of believers and the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is practiced as a remembrance of our Lord’s shed blood and broken body on Calvary’s cross. The elements are not and do not become the actual body and blood of Jesus.

    Mt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:41; I Cor. 11:23-26.
     

  9. We practice the baptism of believers by immersion.

Mt. 3:16; Mk. 3:10; Rom. 6:1-4.
