What
We Believe
SCRIPTURES
- We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the entire Bible,
both Old and New Testaments. We further accept the Textus Receptus manuscripts
from which came the King James Bible and accept the King James Bible
as the divinely preserved Word of God in the English language.
TRINITY
- We believe that God is a Person, eternally existing as a Trinity,
manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit. We further believe that these three are one God,
but separate in personality and work.
JESUS
CHRIST - We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten
Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He lived
a sinless life whose death on the cross was both sufficient and substitutionary
for the sins of the whole world. He is both true God and true man, the
Savior of the world.
CREATION
- We believe in the creation of the universe and all things by a direct
act of God, apart from any so-called evolutionary processes.
SIN
- We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell through
sin, bringing upon mankind both physical and spiritual death. Mankind
is now totally depraved, incapable of personal salvation and good works
before God and therefore in need of a Savior.
SALVATION
- We believe that man is lost and must be born again by the Holy Spirit
to enter heaven. Man is justified by faith alone and is accounted righteous
before God ONLY through the merit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation
is by grace through faith, minus nothing and plus nothing.
CHURCH
- We believe that Jesus Christ founded the local church and it consists
of a group of believers baptized by immersion who have assembled together
for the purpose of edification, exhortation and evangelism as commanded
by Christ in his Great Commission.
SECOND
COMING - We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming
again in the air at any moment to rapture his church and to reward its
service. The unbelievers will be left behind and will go through a seven
year period called the Tribulation, after which Christ will return visibly
to the earth to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of perfect
government and righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages
will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the
Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while the believers have their
works judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ and will spend eternity
in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord.
CITIZENSHIP
- We believe in the loyalty to country and government and the separation
of church and state.
