Our beliefs, based on the Word of God:
We believe in the absolute Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ --True God and true man. He is the only begotten and eternal Son of God, miraculously born of the virgin Mary. His life was absolutely perfect and sinless.
John 1:1, John 1:14-18, John 20:28, Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 2:5, Matthew 1:18-25, 1 Peter 2:21-22 We believe that Jesus Christ is God's provision for the sin of the world. On Calvary's cross, Jesus Christ fully and eternally paid the penalty for sin and completed the work of redemption. God showed His approval of Christ's finished work by raising Him from the dead. John 14:6, Acts 4:10-12, Romans 3:24, 1 Peter 3:18, Hebrews 7:24-27 We believe in the forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ. All who repent and trust Him receive eternal life, are "born again," become members of His church, and are equipped by the Holy Spirit with gifts to be used in building up the church. Romans 3:21-26, Ephesians 1:7, Luke 24:47, Acts 2:47, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 We believe that the personal return of Christ for His church could occur at any moment. John 14:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 We believe that the Scripture, interpreted in their natural, literal sense, reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules of life which define man's responsibilities in successive ages. These dispensations are not ways of salvation, but rather are divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs man according to His purpose. Three of these dispensations—the law, the church, and the kingdom—are the subject of detailed revelation in Scripture. Genesis 1:28, 1 Corinthians 9:17, 2 Corinthians 3:9-18, Galatians 3:13-25, Ephesians 1:10, 3:2-10, Colossians 1:24-25, 27, Revelation 20:2-6 |
