STATEMENT
OF FAITH
1.
We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infalible, authoritive
Word of God and the supreme standard by which all human conduct,
creeds, and opinions shall be tried.
2.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existant in three
persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3.
We believe in the diety of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious
and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His
bodily resurrection, in His ascention to the right hand of the
Father, and in His personal bodily return in power and glory.
4.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely
necessary for the salvation of a lost and sinful humanity.
5.
We believe that salvation is wholly by grace through faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ and His completed work on the cross. No
human works, regardless of their merit, are efficacious in the
justification of sinners before a Holy God.
6.
We believe that all who are truly born-again are new creations
in Christ and that as such they will exibit evidence of conversion
in their lifestyle, including, but not limited to manner of
dress, speach, conduct, relations with others, submission to
authority, church attendance and service.
7.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells
all who are saved and by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled
to live a Godly life.
8.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost;
they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that
are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
9.
We believe that heaven and hell are literal places. Those who
by faith believe in the completed work of Jesus Christ on the
cross are accepted into heaven, while those who reject Jesus
Christ, by declaration or by neglect, are destined to spend
eternity in hell.
10.
We believe in the Spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus
Christ and that such unity is built on a shared commitment to
truth as revealed in the Bible.
