statement of faith \\\
- In one
God eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
(Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14).
- In the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God,
inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority
in all matters of life and faith (II Tim. 3:16,17; II Pet. 1:20,21).
- That God
the Son became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, who was begotten by
the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is God and man (Luke
1:35; John 1:1,2,14).
- That man
was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in
Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sin nature, and became
alienated from God. Therefore, man is totally depraved and unable to
remedy his fallen condition (Gen. 1:26,27; Rom. 5:12,19; Eph.
2:1-3,12).
- That
Jesus died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice; and that all
who believe in Him are justified by grace through faith, apart from
works of any kind (Rom. 3:22-25,28; Eph. 1:7; 2:8,9; I Pet. 1:3-5;
2:24).
- In the
resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His
ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High
Priest, Intercessor and Advocate. (I Cor. 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Rom.
8:34; Heb. 4:14; I John 2:1).
- That all
who have been justified are kept eternally secure by the power of God
(John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Rom. 8:1,35-39; I Cor. 1:8,9; I Pet. 1:5).
- That
Satan, a fallen angel, is a person and author of sin and the instigator
of the angelic and the subsequent human rebellion against God. He is
the declared enemy of God and man and he will be eternally punished in
the Lake of Fire (Gen. 3:14,15; Job 1:6,7; Isa. 14:12-17; Matt. 4:2-11;
25:41; Rev. 20:10).
- That
Christ ordained water baptism and the observance of the
Lord’s Supper until He returns (Matt. 28:19; I Cor.
11:20-34).
- That it
is the obligation of every believer to witness by life and by work and
to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all the world; and it is the
responsibility of all believers to remember the work of the Lord in
prayer and to support it with their means as the Lord has prospered
them; and that every believer has a spiritual gift(s) which should be
used to edify the Body of Christ (Acts 1:8; Rom. 12:1,2; 13:14; I Cor.
12:14; 16:2; II Cor. 8:11; 8:14; 9:7; Eph. 4:11-16).
- That the
prophecy of the rapture of the Church will be fulfilled (I Thes.
4:13-18; I Cor. 15:51,52; John 14:1-3).
- That
Jesus Christ will return to establish an earthly kingdom for 1000 years
(Isa. 11:1-12; Rev. 20:1-6).
