We believe that the Scriptures,
consisting of the Old and New Testament, are verbally
inspired by the Holy Spirit, that they are without error
in their original manuscripts, and that they are the
supreme and final authority for faith and life.

We believe that there is one God,
who is eternally existent in three persons - Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in a personal Devil, who
is the great deceiver of the human race.

We believe that Jesus Christ is
God, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on
the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended to
heaven, and will return personally and visibly.

We believe that every human has
sinned, and is guilty before God, needing to be
"born again" for salvation.

We believe that all who receive
Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are born of the Holy
Spirit and are the children of God, eternally saved, and
indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

We believe that at the time of
one's new birth, he is baptized by the Holy Spirit and
receives a spiritual gift (or gifts) for the building up
of the body of Christ.

We believe in the bodily
resurrection of the saved and unsaved, the saved to be
with Christ forever, and the unsaved to be consigned to
eternal hell.

We believe that all who are truly
born again should, in the strength of the Holy Spirit,
live a holy life, separated from worldly and sinful
practices that might cause others to stumble, or bring
reproach on Jesus Christ.

We believe the Gospel is for
everyone and that the supreme obligation of the believer
is to get God's truth to everyone throughout the entire
world. |
