We believe that God is three persons in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:6-8)
We believe that Jesus Christ was the virgin born Son of God, and God manifest in the flesh (I Timothy 3:16). We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sin, and was literally, physically and bodily raised from the dead (Romans 10:9-10). We believe Jesus Christ ascended bodily to heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9-10).
We believe that the Holy Spirit draws lost men to Jesus Christ, and lives permanently inside those who are saved (Ephesians 1:13-14) We believe that those who are saved are to be filled with the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 5:18).
We believe the Bible is true and accurate in every detail, the very words of God, and the final authority of life (II Timothy 3:16-17).
We believe man was created perfect in the garden of Eden, but through the sin of Adam and Eve, the race fell and inherited a sinful nature (Romans 5:12).
We believe lost men are saved by grace: through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).
We believe that saved people are eternally secure in Jesus Christ, and cannot lose their salvation (Romans 8:38-39). We believe our security gives us the freedom to serve Jesus Christ as opposed to giving us the license to sin (Galatians 5:13).
We believe that saved people have a spiritual nature that is perfect, and an old physical nature that remains sinful. (Romans 7:14-25)
We believe that saved people should live in accordance to the standards of the word of God and abstain from sinful practices, while living among lost people in a sinful world so as to influence them for Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:14-16).
We believe it is our personal and church responsibility to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world (Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe the modern Charismatic movement is non-Biblical. (I Corinthians 13:8-10).
We believe the main role of the church is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and to spread the gospel around the world (Colossians 1:9-18). We believe the church is the body and bride of Christ and consists of all saved people of the last 2,000 years (Ephesians 5:22-32). We believe that independent local churches should govern themselves and reproduce themselves by starting other local churches (Titus 1:5-9). We believe Baptism by immersion is an ordinance of the local church, and that only saved people are to be baptized as an act of obedience to the Lord (Acts 8:36-39). We believe the Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the local church open to any saved person, as a symbol and observance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (II Corinthians 11:23-26).
We believe there are correct divisions to be made in the Bible, and that its truths are to be applied properly (II Timothy 2:15).
We believe Satan is real, the enemy of God and the church, and a defeated foe destined for hell (Isaiah 14:12-17).
We believe that Jesus Christ will return any day now, first to take out the church at the rapture, then later to reign over the earth (I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 19:11-16).
We believe all men will he raised to face judgment based on their life and faith in Jesus Christ (John .5:28-29). We believe the saved will enjoy the blessings of heaven for eternity (II Corinthians 5:6-8). We believe the lost will suffer the punishment of a literal hell for eternity (Revelation 20:10-15).
