We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.
That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written.
That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16).
We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory.
In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection.
In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return.
We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit.
Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.
Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ.
Who baptizes believers at conversion into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills and fills those yielded to Him.
We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God.
That by the sin of disobedience he fell from that state.
That all his posterity inherited spiritual depravity and defilement.
That all men therefore are guilty before God and condemned to physical and spiritual death.
We believe that in salvation the sole condition for receiving everlasting life is faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who died a substitutionary death on the cross for man’s sin and rose bodily from the dead (John 3:16-18; 6:47; Acts 16:31).
Faith is the conviction that something is true. To believe in Jesus (“he who believes in Me has everlasting life”) is to be convinced that He guarantees everlasting life to all who simply believe in Him for it (John 4:14; 5:24; 6:47; 11:26; 1 Timothy 1:16).
No act of obedience, preceding or following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, such as commitment to obey, sorrow for sin, turning from one’s sin, baptism or submission to the Lordship of Christ, may be added to, or considered part of, faith as a condition for receiving everlasting life (Rom 4:5; Gal 2:16; Titus 3:5).
This saving transaction between God and the sinner is simply the giving and receiving of a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 4:10 ; Revelation 22:17 ).
That by the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a propitiatory death.
That justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and ultimately perfected in the image of the Lord.
