the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, and the inerrant Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21.
WE BELIEVE
there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30.
WE BELIEVE
in the deity of Christ John 10:33; His virgin birth Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35; His sinless life Hebrews 4:15, 7:26; His miracles John 2:11; His vicarious and atoning death 1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9; His resurrection John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4; His ascension to the right hand of the Father Mark 16:19; His personal return to earth in power and glory Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16.
WE BELIEVE
in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God’s grace through faith alone are we saved John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Romans 3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5.
WE BELIEVE
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are not unto the resurrection of damnation John 5:28-29.
WE BELIEVE
in the spiritual unity of the believers in our Lord Jesus Christ Romans 8:9;
