Statement of Faith |
| |
-
We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16)
-
We believe there is one God, eternally existent
in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit. (Matt 3:16-17)
-
We believe in the deity of Christ (Acts 2:36),
in His virgin birth (Luke 1:30-35), in His sinless
life (Heb 4:15), in His miracles, in His vicarious
and atoning death (1 Peter 2:24), in His resurrection
from the dead (Acts 2:24), in His ascension to the
right hand of the Father(Acts 2:31), and in His
personal and imminent second coming. (Rev 19:11)
-
We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration
by the Holy Spirit (new birth - born again - John
3:3) for salvation because of the exceeding
sinfulness of human nature (Rom
8:20); that we are justified on the single ground
of faith in the shed blood of Christ (Titus
3:7); and that only by God’s grace and
through faith we are saved. (Eph
2:5)
-
We believe in the literal existence of Heaven
for the redeemed in Christ and in a literal Hell,
the place of conscious punishment for the unsaved.
(John 14:2, Rev 20:15)
-
We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are
in operation today for the edification of the Church
and for the conversion of unbelievers. (Rom
12:6-8, 1
Cor 12:8-10, Eph
4:11)
