What We Believe

The Holy Bible 

We believe that the entire Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative revelation of God to man. (II Tim. 3: 16-17; II Pet.1:21)

The Godhead

We believe in the One true living GOD, eternally existent in three “persons”: THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT- having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections, indivisible, inseparable, and worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience. (Matt.28: 19-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4; Heb.1:1-3) We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension. (John 1:1-18; Matt.1:18-25; John 8:46; Acts 10:38; Luke 23:13-56; Mark 16:1-14, 19-20); we believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3, 4; I Cor.12:4-6; Heb.9:14; Luke 1:35; Jn.14:26; Ps.139:7-10; Jn.14:16-17; 16:8).

Salvation

We believe that all humanity being offspring of Adam and Eve are sinners by nature and are in need of salvation (the new birth). We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and not of works, and Jesus Christ is the only way, truth, and Life, and there is no other name given under heaven whereby we must be saved (Gen.1:26-27; 3:1-24; 5:3; Ps.51:5; Rom.3:23; 5:12; Isa.53; Jn.10:28; 14:6; Eph.2:8-9; II Pet.1-10; I Jn.5:13; Jude 20-25).

Water Baptism

We believe in water baptism by immersion after a profession of faith in Jesus Christ at an age of accountability (Matt.28:19; Acts 2:41; 8:26-39). The Lord’s Supper We believe that we are to celebrate the communion as a church body. We believe that it is a memorial service to bring us into remembrance of what God has done for us through His Son the Lord Jesus. Through the elements of the bread and cup, we are to remember both the body and blood of Christ (Lu.22:14-30; I Cor.11:18-34).

The Spirit-filled Life

We believe in the Spirit-filled life whereby the believer manifests the fruit of the Holy Spirit by constant yielding to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God. We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers believers for ministry and the Gifts of the Spirit are distributed to every believer by his sovereign prerogative for the benefit of all (Matt.3:11; Mk.16:16-18; Jn.7:37-39; Acts 1:8; 2:4; I Cor.12-14; Eph.5:18; I Tim.4:14; II Tim.1:6).

Evangelism

In Global evangelization of the unsaved (Matt.28:18-20; Mk.16:14-19; Acts 1:8)

Eternal Destiny

We believe in a literal heaven and life everlasting for all true believers (Jn.14:1-3 1Thes.4:13-18 Rev.21-22) and also the everlasting punishment of the unrepentant in the lake of fire (Luke 16:19-31; Rev.20:11-15).

The Return of Jesus Christ

We believe in the personal, literal, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ to Judge the world and reign on earth for 1,000 years with all His Saints. (Obad.15; Lu.16:19-23; Mk.9:43; Rom.2:1-16; I Thes.4:17; Rev.19-21).

Christian Unity

We believe in Christian tolerance to all denominations of the Historic Christian faith and in essentials-unity, in non-essentials-liberty, in all things- Charity (Eph.4:1-6).
