Statement of Faith

THE BIBLE

We hold that the Bible, the Holy words of a Holy God, was not only free from error in the originals (which have been lost for centuries) but also we believe God in His singular providential care has KEPT HIS WORD all through the ages, right down to the present day as found in the King James Version. We consider this Book the scriptures, our final and absolute authority, above and beyond all other authorities on earth.

GOD

God is one, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Ghost, infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is true man and God, who in His incarnation was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin, Mary. In His earthly ministry He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and died on the cross as the one sacrifice for sins for ever, according to the Scriptures. By the power of God, He was raised from the dead in the same body now glorified. He ascended into Heaven where, at the right hand of God, He continually makes intercession for us.

HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Ghost is co-equal with the Father and the Son; regenerates the believing sinner; indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer for godly living and service; comforts the children of God. The Holy Ghost guides and gives power to the church, the body of Christ, to fulfill the Great Commission, and convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

MAN

Man was created in the image and likeness of God; but through the sin of Adam, man fell into sin and is, therefore, lost apart from Christ. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

SALVATION

Salvation is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, the gift of eternal life, and adoption as children of the heavenly Father. Union with the triune God provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. The gift of salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit.

THE CHURCH

The church is composed of all those regenerated by the Spirit of God by whom they have been baptized into one body of whom the Lord Jesus Christ is the head. The purpose of the church is to witness concerning Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures, and to preach the Gospel among all nations.

JESUS' RETURN

Jesus Christ will come again to receive unto Himself those who believe in Him, that where He is, they may be also. He will come again personally and visibly to establish His kingdom.

RESURRECTION OF BELIEVERS

The resurrection of the believers will be unto eternal glory, and the resurrection of the unbelievers will be unto eternal punishment.
