Statement of Faith   

 We Believe…

 

- the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.  (2 Timothy 3:15, 2 Peter 1:21)

 

- there is one God, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)

 

- in the deity of Christ, (John 10:33); His virgin birth, (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:3); His sinless life, (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26); His miracles, (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death, (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father, (Mark 16:19); and His personal return in power and glory. (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11)

 

- in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation, because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ; and only by God's grace and through faith are we saved.  (John 3:16-21, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5)

 

- in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29)

 

-  in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.  (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28)

 

- in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.  (Romans 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18)
