What We Believe
Scriptures
We Believe that "all Scripture is given by
inspiration of God" (2
Timothy 3:16)
and that anyone can be saved by placing their faith in the Only Begotten
son of God, Jesus Christ and repenting of their sins.
We believe and Know that Jesus Christ is God, that
He came to earth in the form of man, that His sacrificial death on the
cross paid the penalty for the sin of mankind, that He rose again on the
third day conquering death and ascended to the right hand of His Father,
where He intercedes on behalf of those who trust in Him and that He will
return again
We believe that there is one living and true God,
eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father is an infinite, personal spirit perfect in holiness, wisdom,
power, and love. Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son, conceived
by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life,
miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning
death and His bodily resurrection. The Holy Spirit came forth from
the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and
judgement, and to regenerate sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus
Christ.
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.
Ephesians
2:8-9
Christian
Duty
We believe that it is the duty of all christians
to not walk after the flesh but after the Spirit, and to live in the power
of the indwelling Holy Spirit in order that we will not fulfill the lust
of the flesh. The flesh is never eradicated in this life. Individuals must
choose to keep the flesh in subjection to Jesus Christ through the power
of the Holy Spirit, ( Galatians
5:16-23; ; 1
Peter 1:14-16;
