THE BIBLE
We believe in the absolute authority of the holy scriptures. We believe the original manuscripts were given by inspiration of God and were without error. We believe the God who gave His word is responsible for its preservation. We believe the incorruptible word of God which cannot pass away is available to the English-speaking world in the Authorized King James Bible. This Bible is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
(Heb. 4:12; Psa. 119:89; Luke 4:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 17:17; Proverbs 30:5; Psa. 119:11; Deut. 4:2; 1 Cor. 14:33; Rev. 22:19)
CREATION
We believe God is the creator and sustainer of all things, visible and invisible. We believe the universe and all that is therein to be held together by Him and believe in the literal Genesis account of Creation.
(Gen. 1:1; Col. 1:16-18; John 1:1-3; Heb. 1:1-3; Rom. 1:19-20, Mark 10:6; 13:19)
JESUS CHRIST
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ to be God manifest in the flesh, virgin born, without sin.
(John 1:1-3, 14; Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:22-25; Luke 1:34-35; Luke 1:26-27; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22; Heb. 4:15; 1 John 3:5)
THE GOSPEL
The Bible says that the “gospel or good news” is, Jesus died for our sins, was buried and after three days and three nights rose from the grave. Whosoever repents (turns from whatever one is believing or trusting in) and trusts Jesus Christ alone for their salvation shall be saved. It is with the heart that one believes. Ones “heart” means your entire being. And with our mouth we confess that Jesus Christ is our Lord.
We believe according to the Bible that every believer is commanded to proclaim the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (the gospel) to all men by personal testimony, by means of finance to the missionary efforts of the church, and by giving of their personal time in their city, county, state, nation and all the world.
(Acts 1:8; Acts 3:19; Rom. 10:9-11; Prov. 11:30; John 15:26-27; Matt. 28:19-20)
SALVATION
We believe that Jesus suffered and died paying the price for the sins for all man kind. Salvation “is available” to all that believe, by grace through faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, apart from human works or merit of any kind. We believe that the only way to the Father is through His Son Jesus Christ, and that by God's Grace through the Faith of the believer man is saved, and that man by his works can in no wise reach God.
(Isa. 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2; Titus 3:5; Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 4:5; 11:6; Gal. 2:16; Isa. 64:6; John 14:6)
ETERNAL SECURITY
We believe the saved child of God is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ, and is sealed, taught and comforted by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.
(John 3:16,36; 10:28-29; 6:37; Rom. 8:38-39; Heb. 13:5; Eph.4:30; Phil. 1:6; John 14:16; John 14:26; 16:17)
HELL
We believe that all who reject the free gift of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ will spend eternity in a conscious torment of a literal lake of fire, while those receiving the Lord Jesus Christ will spend eternity in the glorious presence of God.
(Luke 16:23; Psa. 9:17; 2 Peter 2:4; Rev. 20:13-15; Mark 9:42-48; Deut. 32:22; John 3:16; John 5:24; John 10:28; John 11:26; Titus 1:2; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 6:23)
THE TRINITY
We believe in the personal triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection.
(1 John 5:7; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Matt. 3:13-17; Gen. 1:26; 11:7; Rom. 1:20)
SEPERATED
We believe according to the Bible that all believers should be separate from the ways of this world, being holy in mind and in body. Righteousness does not come by keeping of laws and commandments but by an inner change of heart. We believe what Christ has done on the inside will affect, or make its way out and our outward actions and appearance will follow accordingly.
(1 Cor. 6:19-20; 1 Peter 1:15-16; 1 Peter 2:11; Rom. 12:1-2; Rom. 8:5; 1 John 2:15; 1 Thess. 5:22; 2 Cor. 6:14-17; 1 Cor. 5:9-12; 2 Cor 7:1)
SPIRITUAL GIFTS
We believe that the miraculous spiritual signs were given by the Lord Jesus Christ as proof that they were speaking the truth of God and they were done away with when the Bible was completed, faith, hope and love are the abiding spiritual gifts.
(Mark 16:14-20; 1 Cor. 12:1-31; 1 Cor. 14:1-40)
CHURCH ORDINANCES
We believe that there are two pictorial ordinances in the Lord's Churches: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe that scriptural water baptism is complete immersion of the believer, by the Authority of the Local Church, as a public testimony of the new believers, new life in Christ, and it plays no part in salvation. The Lord's Supper is a memorial ordinance, reminding believers of the sacrifice Christ made. It is restricted to the members of that Local Church.
(Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 8:12-13, 36-38; Matt. 3:13-17; Matt. 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-26)
