We
believe the
Bible to be given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
infallible, and God's revealed word to man.
We
believe that Scripture teaches that there
is only one true and living God who has chosen to
reveal Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy
6:4; Isaiah 43:10, 11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
We
believe that man is a sinful being in need
of redemption (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Psalm 51:5;
Ecclesiastes 7:29; John 6:44; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians
2:14).
We
believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ,
that He is the Son of God and the son of man, that
He came to save man from condemnation of sin by offering
His blood as an atonement and making it available
to all who exercise faith in Him (Matthew 1:23; Luke
1:31, 35; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians
5:21).
We
believe that for salvation of lost and sinful
man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely
essential (Luke 7:50, 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; 1 Corinthians
1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:8, 9; 2 Timothy
1:9; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7).
We
believe the Scriptures ascribe to the Holy
Spirit the acts and attributes of an intelligent
being, and that the works of God such as creation,
inspiration, giving of life, and sanctification are
also ascribed to the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Job
33:4; Mark 3:29; John 16:8, 13; Acts 7:51, 10:19,
13:2, 13:4, 16:6; 1 Corinthians 2:11, 6:11, 12; Ephesians
4:30; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 1:21).
We
believe in the sanctifying power of the
Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is
enabled to live a holy life (Romans 8:5; Philippians
2:12, 13; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 John 2:29).
We
believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit
is given to believers who ask for it. (Joel 2:28;
Acts 2:4).
We
believe that all mankind is subject to the
death of the body as a result of original sin. The
soul and spirit do not die, but immediately after
death enter into a conscious state of happiness or
misery according to the character here possessed
by rejection or acceptance of the Savior (Ecclesiastes
12:7; Romans 5:12; Philippians 1:23).
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of both
the saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting
life and the lost without Christ to everlasting damnation
(Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15; Revelation 22:11).
We
believe in the personal imminent return
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 1
Thessalonians 4:13-18).
We
believe the redemptive work of Christ on
the Cross provides healing for the human body in
answer to believing prayer (Isaiah 53:4,5; James
5:14, 15; 1 Peter 2:24).
