Doctrine Statement

in
one God, Creator of heaven and earth; Spirit, Light, Love, and Truth;
eternal, almighty, infallible, and unchangeable,
infinitely wise, just,
and holy, and that God eternally exists and manifests Himself to us in
three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

in
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the eternal Word manifested
in flesh. We believe that He was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, and born
of the Virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true Man. believe in
His vicarious, substitutionary and redeeming death, Christ
receiving in Himself
the penalty of man's sin. We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His
ascension and in His personal, imminent and premillenial
return for his
redeemed ones, followed by His coming in glory to judge the rebellious
and to establish His millennial reign.

in the Holy Spirit, in His personality, that He is God; and we believe
that His work is to convict men of sin; to regenerate, indwell and set
the believer apart to a holy life; to keep and empower the believer day
by day. We believe that He is the teacher of God's Word and the Guide
for the daily life.

that
the whole Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New
Testaments,
is verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original
writings, and is the supreme and final authority in faith and life.


that man, having been created pure and in the image of God, is by his
own sin fallen from grace, and we believe that in consequence, all have
sinned, are guilty and lost, and absolutely incapable of saving themselves
by their own works, being dead in their trespasses and sins.


that we are saved solely by grace, through faith in the blood sacrifice,
death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.


in the eternal security and everlasting blessedness of the saved, and
the eternal judgment and punishment of all who reject our Lord Jesus Christ:
This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in
the book of life, was cast into the Lake of Fire. (Rev. 20:14,15)


that Satan is a person, the author of the fall, and that he shall be eternally
punished.


in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and
the lost to judgment and everlasting punishment.


that Jesus Christ instituted the Lords Supper to commemorate His
death till He come. We believe that Water
Baptism is a symbol of the believer's union with Christ in His death
and in His resurrection.


that the Church of Jesus Christ is composed solely of those who have been
redeemed and washed in His Blood, and regenerated and sealed by the Holy
Spirit, and that they are saved to serve; and that it is the responsibility
and privilege of all who are saved to seek to win others to Christ, to
the uttermost part of the earth; that they must seek to live
a holy life, to separate themselves from and forsake all that might dishonor
God or cast discredit on His cause, or weaken their testimony.
