We Believe:
I. In the Bible as God's only inspired, inerrant and authoritative revelation of Himself to man in written form (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
II. In one God, eternally existing in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7)
III. In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1), His virgin birth (Matthew 1:18), His sinless life (2nd Corinthians 5:21), His miracles (Acts 10:38), His vicarious death as the only sacrifice for the sin of the world (1st John 2:2), His bodily resurrection from the dead (Luke 24:39), His ascension to the right hand of God as our intercessor (Hebrews 7:25), and His future return in glory, first to rapture His church (1st Thessalonians 4:16-18) and second, to establish the kingdom of God upon the earth (Revelation 20:6).
IV. In the finality of Christ's mediatorial work for the redemption of mankind and the present freedom of access to the father (1st Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 4:14-16).
V. In the new birth as the only means of receiving eternal life. The new birth involves a cleansing and deliverance from the penalty and power of sin. It is effectuated through faith in Jesus Christ and repentance from sin. (John 3:3, 5, 7; Ephesians 2:8, 9 and 1st Peter 1:18-20).
VI. In divine healing for the total man, spirit, mind and body and that the healing is accomplished in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross and appropriated in the believer's life through prayer (Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:17; 1st Peter 2:24; James 5:13-15).
VII. In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an endowment of power for all believers (Acts 2:4, 38-39; 10:44,45; 19:1-6; Ephesians 5:18). This baptism results in a deeper expression of spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22, 23), a greater growth in Christ likeness (2nd Corinthians 3:18), a genuine manifestation of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-11) and a more effective prayer life (Romans 8:26, 27).
VIII. In the process of spiritual development (sanctification) accomplished in the life by the Holy Spirit through yielded ness and obedience. The growth involves a daily dying to sin and living unto righteousness (Romans 6:1-23), finds expression in a holy life (Hebrews 12:24) and will be perfected at the return of Jesus Christ (1st John 3:2).
IX. In the resurrection of the dead, First, the righteous unto eternal life and second, the ungodly unto eternal damnation (Daniel 12:2; John 5:28, 29; Revelation 20:4-6,11-15).
X. In the sacraments of the church established by Jesus Christ our Lord: the Lords Supper (Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) and baptism by immersion as a witness of the new birth (Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 3:20-22).
