Statement of Faith |

|
The entire Word of God is the basis and foundation of the Body of Christ and
is summarized as follows... We
believe in the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God; inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the
final authority in faith, doctrine, and life. (2 Tim. 3:16; Matt. 5:18; 1 Thess. 2:13) We believe in
one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Dt. 6:4; Ps.
90:2; Matt. 28:19) We believe that
Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is totally God and totally man. (Isa. 7:14; Jn.
20:28; Phil. 2:8) We believe that
man was created in the image of God; that he fell into sin and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death; and that
all human beings are born with a sinful nature. (Gen. 1:26-28;
Ps. 51:5; Rom 3:9-12) We believe that
the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and
that all who believe in Him and receive Him as Savior are justified on the ground of His shed blood. (Rom. 5:12-19;
Acts 16:31; 1 Jn. 1:7-9) We believe in
the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present living there for us as
High Priest and Advocate. (1 Cor. 15:12-19;
Acts 1:6-11; Heb. 7:25) We believe that
salvation is by grace through faith, and that all who repent of their sin, and believe in, and receive the Lord Jesus Christ
as Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit into the family of God. (Eph. 2:8-10;
Jn. 1:12-13; 2 Cor. 5:17) We believe that
the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to catch up His people to meet Him in the air is imminent. (1 Thess. 4:17;
5:6,9) We believe in
the personal and bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ to set up His kingdom upon the earth. (Rev. 20:1-10;
Isa. 2:2-4)
We believe in
the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious
punishment of the lost.
(1 Cor. 15:50-57;
Rev. 20:1-6; 21:1-8; Lk. 16:19-31) |
