We believe in the full,
verbal inspiration of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament: as
authoritative, sufficient, infallible and without error in the original
manuscripts, not only as containing, but as being in themselves the only
written Word of God; and the need of the teaching of the Holy Spirit for
a true and spiritual understanding of the whole.
|
|
|
We believe in one God,
eternally existing as three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
|
|
|
We believe that human
beings were created in the image of God, but were tempted by Satan and
sinned, and are therefore under God's condemnation. As a consequence of
Adam's Fall, human nature is totally depraved.
|
|
|
We believe in the
absolute deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His real and
perfect humanity; the authority of His teaching, and the infallibility
of all His utterances; His work of atonement for the sin of the human
race by His vicarious suffering and death; His bodily resurrection and
His ascension into Heaven; His present high-priestly intercession for
His people; and His lordship over His Church as its supreme Head.
|
|
|
We believe in the
justification of the sinner, solely by faith, on the ground of the
merits and vicarious suffering, death, and bodily resurrection of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
|
|
|
We believe in the
necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in conviction of sin,
regeneration, and sanctification, as well as in ministry and worship.
|
|
|
We believe that the
true Church is composed of only those persons who through saving faith
in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united
together in the body of Christ of which he is Head.
|
|
|
We believe in the
resurrection of the body; the judgment of the world by our Lord Jesus
Christ; the eternal blessedness of believers in Christ; and the
everlasting, conscious punishment of unbelievers.
|
|
|
We believe in the
imminent personal and visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ in glory.
|
|
|
We believe that Christ
commanded the Church to go into all the world and make disciples of all
peoples, baptizing and teaching those who believe |
