We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible
authoritative Word of God, and that He has preserved it for the
English-speaking world in the Authorized King James Version.
- We believe that there is one God, the source, support and end of all
things, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and
atoning death, in His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His
ascension to the Father’s right hand, and in His personal,
pre-millennial return for His saints, and with His saints at the
Revelation.
- We believe that man is totally depraved, a sinner both by nature and
practice, therefore estranged from God, totally lost and in need of
the convicting and regenerating ministry of the Holy Spirit, a born
again experience.
- We believe in the personality of Satan; in his power and kingdom, in
his wiles and in his judgment at the cross and his eternal destruction
of hell.
- We believe in the deity and present ministry of the Holy Spirit,
that He convicts the sinner, regenerates the one who believes,
indwells, seals, instructs, reproves, and guides the believer; that He
fills and controls every life that is wholly yielded to Him.
- We believe that salvation is the free gift of God offered to man by
His grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
plus nothing.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto
"Life" and the unsaved unto "Judgment" and
everlasting damnation. We believe in the literal heaven with golden
streets and a literal hell with fire and brimstone.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ, not in the organized unity sought by the ecumenical movement.
- We believe in the local church which is a body of baptized believers
who come together in obedience of Christ to carry out the dictates of
the New Testament.
- We believe and practice both ecclesiastical and personal separation on
the basis of the Word of God.
