Our Beliefs
-
We believe that the Bible is the true, infallible, inspired word of God and is preserved for us in the English language in the Authorized King James Version (2 Tim 3:16,17; 2 Pet 1:21; Ps 12:6-7; Jn 17:17).
-
We believe that the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the second member of the GODHEAD, the image of the invisible God, was born of a virgin, lived a perfect and sinless life on earth, and was declared to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead (1 Jn 5:7; Col 1:15; Rom 1:4; Lk 1:35; 2 Cor 5:21).
-
We believe that the LORD JESUS CHRIST made the perfect sacrifice for all men when he shed his blood on the cross of Calvary (Rom 3:25; 1 Tim 2:6).
-
We believe that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God", and that sin entered the world by one man; therefore, all men have a sin nature that is worthy of death and judgement (Rom 3:23; Rom 6:23; Rom 1:32; Rom 5:12).
-
We believe that an individual's personal SALVATION is only obtained by God’s grace, (not of works) through faith in the blood of Christ, who was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead (Rom 3:24- 28; 5:1,9; Eph 2:8,9; 1 Cor 15:1-4).
-
We believe in the doctrine of ETERNAL SECURITY (Col 3:1-4; Phil 1:6; Rom 8:1; 8:29-34; 8:38,39; Eph 1:13,14).
-
We believe there is only one baptism for believers today, that is a spiritual baptism performed by the Holy Ghost, identifying us with the Lord Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection (Eph 4:5; 1 Cor 12:13; Rom 6:3; Col 2:12).
-
We believe that Paul is THE apostle of the Gentiles and was given the unique revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret, and is our pattern for today (Rom 11:13; Rom 16:25-26; Eph 3:1-9; Col 1:24-27; 1 Tim 1:16).
-
We believe in a pre-tribulation rapture that precedes the second coming of Christ to the earth (1 These 4:13-18; Tit 2:13-14; 1 Cor 15:51-53; Phil 3:20-21).
