We
believe in the Triune God – the Eternally
Self-Existent, "I
AM", the Creator of heaven and earth
and Redeemer of mankind manifested in three
persons; Almighty Father, Divine Son and Holy
Ghost. (Genesis 1:1, John 5:7, John
1:1, 4:24, Matthew 10:20, II Corinthians 3:17-18).
We
believe in the Bible as the inspired, infallible
Word of God, inerrant in the original autographs
and the only rule of faith, guide for practice
and indisputable and ultimate authority of
the Revelation of God, His Will and His Way. (II
Timothy 3:16-17, Psalms 19:7-11, 2 Peter
1:16-21).
We
believe in the deity of
Jesus Christ,
the incarnation of
the Father, born
of a virgin,
very God of every God
for, and by whom
all things were
created (I
John 1:1-10).
We
believe in
the substitutionary
atonement of
the Lord Jesus
Christ, that
He, by the
grace of God tasted
death for every
man and that
all must be
born again through
faith in Him
or are forever
lost. Redemption
is accomplished by the cross and blood of our Lord. Jesus Christ, by
grace through faith, believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead. Salvation
is by Jesus Christ and none other for God has highly exalted Him and given
a name, which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those in heaven, earth and those under the earth. We further
believe that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father. (Hebrews 2:9,
John 3:1-18, John 6:44-49, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9, Philippians
2:9-11).
We
believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
and that He ascended bodily into the heaven and is now at
the right hand of the Father as our Mediator, High Priest
and Advocate. (Acts 3:12-26,
John 20, Hebrews 9:24, I Corinthians 15:12-28).
We
believe in water baptism and Holy Communion – The Lord's
Supper as the ordinances of the church to be observed as
public declaration of salvation through Jesus Christ and
the commemoration of His death, burial and resurrection in
victory over satan, death, hell and the grave. (Matthew
3:11,14, 26:26-29, Luke 22:17-23).
We
believe in the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus
Christ both for His Saints and with His Saints in reign to
victory. (I
Thessalonians 4:13-18, Corinthians 15:50-55, Revelation
19:19-20, 20:1-6).
We
believe in the authority of the believer over the enemy satan
and the victory to be gained by the exercise of that authority
in the areas of deliverance, healing and holiness. (Ephesians
1:20-23, 6:10-7).
We
believe in the personality and reality of satan as the enemy
of the Kingdom of God, Saints of God and of the Lord; and
in his ultimate defeat by the Lord Jesus Christ and potential
defeat in the lives of spirit filled believers clothed in
the Armor of God. (Revelation 12:9-10,
Matthew 4:2-11, Isaiah 14:12-17, John 8).
We
believe in the autonomy of the local church as an independent
entity with regard to matters of government, polity operation
and discipline. (I Corinthians 5:5, II Thessalonians
3:6, 14-15, Acts 11:22, Titus 1:5).
