We believe:

 

A. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit; the New Covenant as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (II Tim. 3:16; II Peter 1:2)

 

B. Our God is one, but manifested in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Philippians 2:6; Matthew 3:16-17)

 

 

C. Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came in to the world. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God. (Romans 5:12, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:9-10, I John 3:8, Galatians 3:13-14)

 

D. Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Ephesians 2:8)

 

E. Man’s first step toward salvation is Godly sorrow that works repentance. The new birth is necessary to all man, and when fulfilled produces eternal life.

(II Corinthians 7:10, I John 5:12, John 3:3-5)

 

F. Both the saved and the lost will be bodily resurrected. The saved will be resurrected to the everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; the lost will be resurrected to judgment and everlasting punishment. (I Thes. 4:17, Hebrews 9:27)
