Faith Statement
We believe:
- That the Holy Bible, consisting of 39 books of the Old Testament
and 27 books of the New Testament, is the inspired Word of God.
- That the Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and
recognizable personalities and qualities perfectly united in one.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
- The virgin birth of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God. The
crucifixion, death, burial and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- The total depravity, sinfulness and guilt of all men since the
Fall, rendering them subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
- That Repentance is a complete turning away from all sins and its
deceitful pleasures.
- That Restitution is making amends for wrongs done against our
fellowmen.
- That Justification is the act of God's grace whereby one
receives forgiveness and remission of sins and is counted righteous
before God, through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus.
- That Water Baptism is essential to our obedience after
reconciliation with God.
- That the Lord's Supper was instituted by Jesus Christ so that
all believers might partake thereof regularly.
- That Entire Sanctification is a definite act of God's grace by
which the believer's heart is purified and made holy.
- That the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is the endowment of power
from on High upon the sanctified believer.
- That Redemption from the curse of the law, Healing of disease as
well as continued Health are provided for all people through the
sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
- That Personal Evangelism is God-given and God-ordained ministry
for every believer.
- That Marriage is binding for life. Monogamy is the uniform
teaching of the Bible.
- That the Rapture is the catching away from the earth of all
living saints and all who died in the Lord.
- That the Resurrection of the dead is taught in the Bible as
clearly as the immortality of the soul. Every individual who has
ever lived will be resurrected.
- That the Great Tribulation will occur after the Rapture and will
be a time of terrible suffering on earth.
- The Second Coming of Christ will be just as literal and visible
as His going away, and His coming to execute judgment upon the
ungodly.
- That Christ's Millennial Reign is the 1,000 years literal reign
of Jesus on earth.
- That the Great White Throne Judgment is when God finally judges
all who have ever lived on the face of the earth, according to their
works.
- That the new Heaven and the New Earth will be made by God and
the redeemed shall dwell with God forever.
- That Hell-fire is the place of everlasting punishment where
sinners will suffer torments for ever and ever.
