The Scriptures-We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction.
The True God-We believe that there is only one true God. He is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature.
The Fall of Man-Although man was created in the image of God, he fell into sin and is lost; this is true of all men, and except a man be born again by the Holy Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (Genesis 1:26, 27; John 3:3; Romans 3:10,23).
The Way of Salvation-We believe that salvation is the gift of God's grace. It cannot be gained or made more secure by meritorious works, but is freely bestowed upon all who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. All who so trust the Savior are forgiven of their sins and born into the family of God by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. (John 1:12; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 10:9,10; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8,9)
The Freeness of Salvation-We believe that the blessings of salvation are made free to all.
Repentance and Faith-We believe that repentance and faith are sacred duties, wrought in our souls by the Spirit of God.
The Gospel Church-We believe that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel. We observe the ordinances of Christ, are governed by His word and exercise our gifts. (Acts 2:41-42)
Baptism and the Lord's Supper-We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer. (Acts 2:41). The Lord's Supper is the commemoration of the death of the Lord Jesus, preceded by solemn self-examination. (I Cor. 11: 23-31) work of the Holy Spirit. (John 1:12; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 10:9,10; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8,9)
The Resurrection-We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus rose from the dead. He now exists in His glorified body at God's right hand. There will be a resurrection of the righteous and the wicked. The bodies of the righteous will conform to the glorious spiritual body of Jesus Christ. (1 Thes. 4:16-17) |
