What We Believe

The Scripture:

We believe in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the original writings of the sixty-six books of the Bible, the Word of God, and that it is the full and complete revelation of God’s will for man, the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Jude 3).

The Godhead:

We believe in One God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4; II Corinthians 13-13; Matthew 18:18-19).

Salvation:

We believe the total depravity of man and the everlasting punishment of the rejecters of Christ (Rev. 20: 15). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to sinful man by grace and received solely by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who accomplished complete redemption by His substitutionary death and shedding of His precious blood (John 3:18; Galatians 2: 16; Ephesians 1 :7,2:8-9; Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:18-19).

The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit:

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, possessing all of the attributes of deity, and that in essence. He is equally God (Acts 5:3-4; II Corinthians 13:1-4).

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration and sanctification, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, in-dwelling equally and permanently every believer, and sealing them unto the day of redemption (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 6:11, 12:13-14; Ephesians 1:13-14). We believe that every unregenrated (lost) person, the moment he exercises faith in Christ as Savior, immediately possesses the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; Galatians 4:6; I Thessalonians 4:8).

We believe that He is the Divine Teacher who guides believers into all truth; that He sovereignly bestows spiritual gifts upon each believer; and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled (controlled) with the Spirit (John 16:13; I Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 5:18).

Satan:

We believe in the Personality and Punishment of Satan (Job 1; Revelation 20).
