Our Beliefs

The Bible

 

The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).

 

God

 

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).

 

Jesus

 

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years (John 1:1).

 

Salvation & Healing

 

The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (John 14:6).

 

Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation (Titus 3:5).

 

We practice water baptism by immersion (Matthew 28:19).

 

The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer (I Peter 2:24).

 

The Holy Spirit

 

The baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.

 

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Galatians 5:16-25).

 

The Future

 

The blessed hope -- the rapture of the Church at Christ's coming (Titus 2:13).

 

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost (Revelation 20:11-15)
