We Believe

 

... the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.

 

... there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and

    God the Holy Ghost.

 

... the Godhead created the heavens and the earth, including all life, each after its own

    species, by a direct act.

 

... in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in

    His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right

    hand of the Father, His present high-priestly ministry in Heaven for believers; and His

    personal, visible return to earth.

 

... in the literal, bodily, personal, pre-millennial and imminent coming of our Lord to rapture

    away all believers unto Himself before the Tribulation period.


... the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious

    blood of Christ.


... regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.


... His vicarious death through the shedding of His Blood as an atonement for the remission of

    our sin.

 

... that sanctification for the believer is immediate upon acceptance of Christ as Savior and

    progressive as the believer grows in grace.


... that scriptural baptism is the immersion of the believer in water, symbolizing his union with

    Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection.


... in the bodily resurrection of the dead – the saved to everlasting blessedness at the coming

    of Christ, and the lost to the judgment at the Great White Throne and then to everlasting,

    conscious punishment in the Lake of Fire.
