We believe that the
Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments in their original texts,
are fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error
in the original languages and our only rule for life and practice.
We believe
in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.
We believe in the absolute deity and virgin birth of our Lord Jesus
Christ; in His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning
death; His resurrection, ascension and imminent return.
We believe
in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, who convicts of
sin, who is the supernatural agent in regeneration, and who, at the
moment of conversion, baptizes and seals the believer into the body
of Christ, immediately indwelling him.
We believe
that man was originally created sinless. Tempted by Satan, man fell
and thereby brought the whole race under the condemnation of eternal
separation from God.
We believe
that salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God, entirely apart
from works; that every person is responsible to receive salvation by
personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; that a soul once saved can
never be lost.
We believe
in the responsibility of each believer, motivated by the love of
Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to witness for Christ and
to live sacrificially for the proclamation of the Gospel into the
entire world.
We believe
in the personal and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the
bodily resurrection of all men, each in his own order: the saints to
everlasting life in God’s presence, the wicked to conscious and
everlasting condemnation in hell.
