Statement Of Faith About the Bible:
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living.
About God: There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our
Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ
is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.
About Sin and Salvation: Everyone has sinned and needs salvation.
Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice
of Jesus Christ. Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible
standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by
immersion in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and the
baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other
tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
About the Gospel: The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus
died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by
repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ
(burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
About Christian Living: As Christians we are to love God and
others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship
God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing,
are for the church today.
About the Future: Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His
church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final
judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous
eternal death
