What We Believe

What We Believe About The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, infallible and inerrant in the original writings.

We believe there is only one Living and True God, maker of Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was with God in the beginning, (Jn 1:1-2;14); and in the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth which proceeds from the Father and Son, (1Jn 5:7) and is the gift to the believer (Jn 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, Jn 15:26).

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that He suffered, was crucified, died and buried, the third day He rose again, He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father, and His return is imminent in order to judge the quick and dead (Mt 1:18-25, Acts 2:22-24, 30-32, Mk 16, Lk 24, Acts 7:55-56, Eph1: 20-23, Heb 1:3-4, Acts 1:11, II Thess 1:7-10).

We believe in the personality of Satan, adversary of God and man (Gen 3:1-5, 14-15, Isa 14:12, Ezek 28:12-15, Mt 4:1-11, II Cor 11:14, I Pet 5:8).

We believe that man was created in the image of God and sinned bringing death to all in his fall (Gen 1:26-27, 2:7, 3:1-19, Rom 5:12, I Cor 15:21-22).

We Believe in the repentance from sin, in the atonement by the substitutionary death and shed blood of Jesus Christ for the propitiation of the sins of the world (Mt 4:17, Lk 24-27, Rom 5:6-10, II Cor 5:15, I Pet 1-17, Jn 1:11-13, I Pet 118-23).

We believe in baptism by immersion in water (Mt 3:13-17, Jn 1:29-34, Mt 28:19, Mk 16:15-16, Acts 2:38).

We believe in sanctification and in the baptism, filling and indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer.  We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in the Church (Jn 17:17-20, Eph 5:26, I Thess 5_23, Heb 13:12, I Pet 3:12, I Pet 3:15, Acts 2:4, Acts 1:8, Acts 19:1-6, I Cor 12:4-14, I Cor 12:40).
