About the Bible
The bible, composed of the 66 books of the Old and New Testament are the inspired, and therefore inerrant Word of God to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. (2 Tim 1:13; 2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Peter. 1:20-21; Psalm 119:11,105,160; Pr. 30:5-6).
About God
God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal in power and glory and are one God. (Gen. 1:1; Psalm 90:2; Deut 6:4; Matt. 28:19; Acts 17:24-28; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Cor. 13:14)
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the son of God, co-equal with the Father. He lived a sinless life, was conceived and born of a virgin and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. Therefore, obtaining for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of our sins and everlasting life. He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father and will return again to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. (John 3:16; Matt. 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 53:5-6; John 1:1-5,14; Heb. 4:14-15; Rom. 8:34; Eph. 1:7; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; Rom. 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Tim. 6:14-15)
About The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to comfort and enlighten mankind. He makes us aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation in order to fill, empower, and anoint believers for ministry and witness. He provides Christians with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily. (Matt. 3:11; John 3:3-8, 14:16-17, 16:7-15; Acts 1:8; Rom. 8:5-11; 1 Cor. 2:9-14, 3:16-17, 12:4-13; 2 Cor. 1:21-22; Eph. 1:13-14)
About Humanity
We believe that man was created in the spiritual image and likeness of God to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. In Adam and Eve’s disobedience, called sin, the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became separated from God. Therefore, we are justly condemned in the sight of God and wholly unable to save ourselves or to contribute in any way to our acceptance of God. (Gen. 1:26-27; Psalm 8:3-6; Is. 53:5-6; Rom. 3:21-26, 5:12-21, 6:23; Eph. 2:1-10)
About the Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by accepting Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. (John 1:12-13, 6:37-40, 10:25-30, 14:6; Rom. 5:1, 6:23, 8:1-17,31-39, 10:9-10; Eph. 1:7, 2:8-10; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; Titus 3:3-7; 1 John 1:7,9)
About Eternal Security
Because God gives man eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security. (John 3:16; John 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Rom. 8:1,38-39; Gal 5:13; Titus 2:11-15; 2 Tim. 1:12; Heb. 7:25, 10:10,14; 1 Peter 1:3-5)
About Eternity
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence. (John 3:16-18; Matt. 25:31-46; Mark 9:43-48; Rom. 6:23; 2 Thes. 1:5-9; 1 John 5:11- 12; Rev. 20:11-15)
About Satan
We believe that Satan is an actual, created being. That he was a great and good angel that rebelled against God, taking a multitude of angels with Him. He was cast out of God’s presence and is presently at work all around us with his demonic hosts to kill and destroy all he can so he can establish his own counter-kingdom of darkness and evil on the earth. Satan was judged and defeated at the cross of Christ and will, at the end of the age, be cast forever into the lake of fire which has been prepared for him and his angels and all who follow him. (Ez. 28:13-18; Job 1:6-7; Isaiah 14:12-17; Matt 25:41; John 12:31-32, 16:11; Eph. 6:10-18; Col. 2:15; 2 Peter 2:4-10; Jude 6; Rev. 12:7-12, 20:7-10)
About Baptism
We believe that baptism is an outward sign of your inward profession. We practice baptism by immersion under water – the way Jesus was baptized and the way the Bible commands. (Matt. 3:13, Mark 16:16, Col. 2:12)
