1. We believe that all scripture, both
Old and New Testaments, was given by inspiration of God as the writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words
of God and that the Scriptures are the only rule of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
2. We believe in the one true God who
has revealed himself as existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
distinguishable but indivisible. (Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:21-22).
3. We believe in the creation, test,
and fall of man as recorded in the book of Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain divine righteousness. (Romans 5:12, 18).
4. 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; 9:6)
5. We believe in the bodily Ascension
of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and personal, literal, and bodily return the second time for the Church. (John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
6. 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; Romans 5:11)
7. We believe in the necessity of water
baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal God Head in order to fulfill the command of Christ.
(Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:36-39; 19:1-6)
8. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the father,
for the empowering of the Christian and His accompanying gifts and fruit. (Acts
2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46, Galatians 3:14).
