What We Believe
ABOUT THE BIBLE:
The Bible is God's Word to us. Human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote it. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth. Exodus 24:4; Psalm 119:11; Jeremiah 36; Matthew 5:17-18; Luke 21:23; John 17:17; Romans 16:25-26
There is only one true God, revealed to us as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the same in essence and equal in every way. Genesis 1:1-2; Isaiah 64:8; 7:14; 61:1-3; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; 14:7-31; Acts 1:1-9; 1 John 4:4-5:12 .
Adam and Eve were created holy, innocent, and happy, but by the disobedience of one man, sin entered into the world and death by sin, so death passed upon all mankind since all havesinned. Genesis 1:26-30; Genesis 3; Psalm 1; Romans 1:19-32; 3:23; 5:6, 12
The only way of salvation is by grace through faith in the atonement and righteousness of Jesus Christ. Salvation is God's free gift to us but we.must accept it. Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23-27; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-:-9
ABOUT THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER:
Nothing can separate true believers from the love of God; they will be kept by His power through faith unto salvation. John 10:29; 14:2-3; Romans 8:38-39; Hebrews 13:5; Revelation 3:20
Christian Baptism is administered only by the immersion of believers in water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Only baptized believers are entitled to partake of the Lord's Supper. Matthew 3:13-17; Luke 3:21-22; Acts 2:41-42; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 6:3-5, 11
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church memorialize the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and anticipate His second coming. Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-22; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
There will be a resurrection of the dead and a time when all mankind will be judged according to their deeds. The unbelievers shall go into everlasting punishment, but the righteous believers into eternal life with the God. Matthew 16:27; 25:31-46: Luke 16:19-26; Luke 19: 20-37; John 14:1-3; Romans 14:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Thessalonians 14:14-18; 1 John 3:2
ABOUT THE WORK OF THE CHURCH:
The Christian ministry is a divinely appointed means for sharing the Gospel throughout the world. It is the responsibility of all believers to contribute to its support. Exodus 19:5-6; Isaiah 6:8; Matthew 9:37-38; 24:14; 28:18-20; Luke 2:46-48; Acts 1 :8; Romans 10: 13-15
