SCRIPTURES - We believe in the verbal,
plenary inspiration of the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
We further accept the Textus
Receptus manuscripts from which
came the King
James Bible and accept only the
King James Bible as the divinely
preserved Word of God in the English language.
Psalm 12:6-7, II Peter 1:19-21
TRINITY - We believe that God is a Person,
eternally existing as a Trinity, manifesting Himself in three Persons:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We further
believe that these three are one God, but separate in personality and
work.
Mathew 3:16-17
JESUS CHRIST - We believe that Jesus Christ
is the only begotten Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a
virgin. Being God, He lived a sinless life whose death on the cross
was both sufficient and substitutionary
for the sins of the whole world. He is both true God and true man, the
Savior of the world. John 1:14
CREATION - We believe in the creation of the
universe and all things by a direct act of God, apart from any
so-called evolutionary processes. Genesis
1:1
SIN - We believe that man was created in the
image of God but fell through sin, bringing upon mankind both physical
and spiritual death. Mankind in now totally depraved, incapable of
personal salvation and good works before God and therefore in need of
a Savior. Romans 3:10, 23 , Isaiah
53:6
SALVATION - We believe that man is lost and
must be born again by the Holy Spirit to enter heaven. Man is
justified by faith alone and is accounted righteous before God ONLY
through the merit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is by grace
through faith, minus nothing and plus nothing.
Ephesians 2:8-9
CHURCH - We believe that Jesus Christ
founded the local church and it consists of a group of believers
baptized by immersion who have assembled together for the purpose of
edification, exhortation and evangelism as commanded by Christ in his
Great Commission. Mark 3:13-14
SECOND COMING - We believe that the Lord
Jesus Christ is coming again in the air at any moment to rapture His
church and to reward its service. The unbelievers will be left behind
and will go through a seven year period called the Tribulation, after
which Christ will return visibly to the earth to set up His Kingdom of
one thousand years of perfect government and righteous rule. After
this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne
to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God
forever, while the believers have their works judged at the Judgment
Seat of Christ and will spend eternity in the fullness of joy in
Heaven with the Lord. I Thessalonians 4:13-18, I
Corinthians 15:51-58
