Scripture
We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the
accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that
they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from
error of any sort in all matters with which they deal, including
scientific and historical as well as moral and theological
(I Timothy 3 :16; I Corinthians 2:13).
 God, Himself
We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself
as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; II
Corinthians 13-14).
Biblical History
We believe in the full historicity and perspicuity of the
Biblical record of primeval history, including the literal
existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people,
the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation,
the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations
and languages at the tower of Babel (Genesis 1-11).
Creation
We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded
in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to
attain to divine righteousness (Romans 3:10-18).
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived
of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and
very man (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7: 14; 9: 16).
Christ's Death & Resurrection
We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again
the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples (I
Corinthians 15: 1 4; Romans 4:25).
Christ's Bodily Ascension
We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His
exaltation and personal, literal and bodily coming again the
second time for the Church (John 14:2-3; 1 Thes 4: 13-18).
Salvation By Grace Through Faith
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance
and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross
of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians
2:8-9; Hebrews 9: 12, 22; Romans 5: 11).
Water Baptism
We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion
in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the
command of Christ (Matthew 28;19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6).
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Sprit as an experience
subsequent to salvation (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14 17; 10:44-46; Galatians
3:14-15).
The Gifts of the Spirit
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as
enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, and as manifested in the
Early Church.
Spirit-Filled Living
We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation
from the world and perfecting holiness in the fear of God
as an expression of Christian faith (Ephesians 5:18; I Corinthians
6: 14; 7:1).
Healing
We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or
Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early
Church (Acts 4:30; Romans 8: 11; I Corinthians 12:9; James
5:1 ).
Communion
We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion
or the Lord's Supper, for believers (I Corinthians 11:28-32).
Eternal Life
We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 3: 16)
and eternal punishment for unbelievers (Mark 9:43-58; II Thessalonians
1:9; Revelation 20: 10-15).
Satan & His Judgement
We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal
judgment of Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation
20:10-15).
