What we Believe
We Believe...
...the bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.
(2 Timothy 3:15-17; Peter 1:21).
...there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).
...in the deity of Christ. His virgin birth. His sinless life. His miracles. His vicarious and atoning death. His resurrection. His ascension to the right hand of the Father. His personal return to earth in power and glory.
(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35; Hebrew 4:15, 7:26; John 2:11; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9; John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Mark 16:19; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16).
...in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that all are justified on the single basis of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God’s grace, through faith alone, are we saved.
(John 3:16, 5:24; Romans3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5).
...in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are not, unto the resurrection of damnation.
(John 5:28-29).
...in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28)...
..in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indewelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
