STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe that...
The Bible, Old Testament and New Testament Scripture is a divine revelation, to be verbally an inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We believe The Bible is the supreme revelation of God's will for mankind and constitutes the only infallible guide for Faith and Life.
2 Timothy 3:16,17; John 16:12, 13; Matthew 5:18; Hebrews 4:12; John 10:34
God is Holy and Loving. Unlimited in time, space, knowledge and power, He has planned for His glory all that comes to pass and purposed from eternity to redeem people for Himself. He has revealed Himself as a Trinity in Unity(Three in One) Father, Son and Holy Spirit--Three persons and yet One God.
Ephesians 1:4; Psalm 103:19; 1 Corinthians 8:6; James 1:13; Deuteronomy 6:4
Jesus-Christ is God The Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He became "God Manifest in the flesh". As fully God and fully man He lived and absolutely sinless life. He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of the world; He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified; He ascended into heaven in that body glorified, where He is now our interceding High Priest; He will come again personally and visibly to set His Kingdom and to judge the living and the dead.
Colossians 1:15; Philippians 2:5-8; Matthew 1: 18-25; 1 Peter 2:24-25;
Hebrews 4:14-16, Acts 1:9-11;1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 11:15-17; 20:4-6; 11-15
The Holy Spirit is the promised Comforter sent by the Father and the Son, possessing full personality and deity. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He is the agent of the new birth, at which time He baptizes believers into the body of Christ, and His work among believers is that He seals, indwells, fills, guides, and teaches.
John 7:39; 14:16-17; Ephesians 1:13,14; 4:7-11; 1 Corinthians 12: 8-13, 28-31; 13:8-12; Hebrews 2:1-4
The Salvation; We believe the Scriptures teach that the salvation of sinners is initiated by a loving God, wholly of grace, and accomplished only through the mediating work of the Son of God. It is upon the sole condition of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. The sinner must be born again, being regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit thereby receiving a new nature. The believer who has exercised personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and in possession of a salvation which is eternally secured. That believer is called now to be obedient to God and do good works.
John 3: 7-18; Romans 5: 6-9; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:8; 1 Peter 1:18-23
The coming of Christ is Physical and that the present age will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went, to restore Israel to her own land and to give her the realization of God’s covenant promises and to bring the whole world to the knowledge of God.
Deuteronomy 30:1; Ezekiel 37:21-28; Matthew 24:15-25; Revelation 20:1-3
The Scriptures teach the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust. The just, those who have been redeemed, will spend eternity in full enjoyment of God’s presence. The unjust, those who through impenitence and unbelief refuse to accept God’s offer of mercy, will spend eternity in everlasting, conscious punishment.
Psalm 16:11; 1 Corinthians 15: 50-56; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:14-15
