Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE:
- IN THE VERBAL INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE, BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS;
- THE TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD;
- THE CREATION OF MAN BY THE DIRECT ACT OF GOD;
- THE FALL OF MAN AND HIS NEED FOR REDEMPTION;
- THE DEITY, INCARNATION AND VIRGIN BIRTH OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST;
- HIS VICARIOUS ATONEMENT FOR THE SINS OF MANKIND BY THE SHEDDING OF HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS;
- THE RESURRECTION OF HIS BODY FROM THE TOMB;
- HIS ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN;
- HIS PERSONAL, IMMINENT RETURN;
- THE DEITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT;
- JUSTIFICATION OF THE BELIEVER BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH;
- A LITERAL DEVIL WHO IS OUR ADVERSARY;
- A LITERAL HEAVEN FOR THE REDEEMED AND A LITERAL HELL FOR THE LOST;
- THE INFALLIBLE RULE OF INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE TO BE SCRIPTURE ITSELF;
- AND THE REQUIREMENT OF IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE TO THE EXPRESSED COMMANDS OF CHRIST AS THE STANDARD BY WHICH HE WILL JUDGE OUR LOVE TO HIM.
