OF THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, and infinite, intelligent Spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, equal in the great work of redemption. Ex. 20:2-3; Gen. 17:1; I Cor. 8:6; Jn. 4:24; Ps. 147:5; Ps 83:18; Ps. 90:2; Jer. 10:10; Ex. 15:11; Rev. 4:11; I Cor. 12:4-6; I Jn. 5:7; Jn. 10:30; I Tim. 1:17; Rom. 11:33; Mk. 12:30; Matt. 28:19; Eph. 2:18; II Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:6. II. OF THE HOLY BIBLE We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally inspired; that it has truth without any admixture of error for its matter; and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the age, the only complete and final revelation of the will of God to man; the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human creeds, conducts and opinions should be tried. We only accept the King James Bible. Ps. 119:89; II Tim. 3:16-17; Rev. 22:18-19; Jn. 17:17; Jn. 3:32-34; II Pet. 1:20-21; I Pet. 1:10-12; Zech. 1:1; Ps. 19:7-11; Ex. 20:3-17; Ps. 1:2; Jn. 12:48. III. OF THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person; equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature; that he was active in the creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world He restrains the Evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of sin, of judgment, and of righteousness; that He bears witness to the Truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent in the New Birth; that He seals, endues, guides, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believer. Jn. 14:16-17; Matt. 28:19; Heb. 9:14; Jn. 14:26; Lk. 1:35; Gen. 1:1-3; II Thes. 2:7; Jn. 16:8-11; Jn. 15:26-27; Acts 5:30-32; Jn. 3:5-6; Eph. 1:13-14; Matt. 3:11; Mk. 1:8; Lk. 3:16;Jn. 1:33; Acts 11:16; Lk. 24:49; Jn. 16:13; Jn. 14:26; Rom. 8:14, 16; II Thes. 2:13; I Pet. 1:2; Rom. 8:26-27. IV. OF THE DEVIL, OR SATAN We believe that Satan was once holy, and enjoyed heavenly honors; but through pride and ambition to be as the Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angels; that he is now the malignant prince of the power of the air, and the unholy god of this world. We hold him to be man's tempter, the enemy of God and Christ. He is the accuser of the saints, the author of all false religions, the chief power back of all the powers of darkness -- destined, however, to final defeat at the hands of God's Son, and to the judgment for him and his angels. Isa. 14:12-15; Ezk. 28:14-17; Rev. 12:9; Jude 6; II Pet. 2:4; Eph. 2:2; Jn. 14:30; I Thes. 3:5; Matt. 4:1-3; I Pet. 5:8; I Jn. 3:8; Matt. 13:25, 37-39; Lk. 22:3-4; Rev. 12:10; II Cor. 11:13-15; Mk. 13:21-22; I Jn. 4:3; II Jn. 7; I Jn. 2:22; Rev. 12:7-9; Rev. 20:1-3, 10; Matt. 25:41. V. OF THE CREATION We believe in the Genesis account of creation, and that it is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively; that man was created directly in God's own image and after his own likeness; that man's creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species, or development through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms; that all animal and vegetable life was made directly, and God's established law was that they should bring forth only "after their kind." Gen. 1:1; Ex. 20:11; Acts 4:24; Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 11:3; Jn 1:3; Rev. 10:6; Rom. 1:20; Acts 17:23-26; Jer. 10:12; Neh. 9:6; Gen. 1:26-27; 2:21-23; 1:11; 24. VI. OF THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression fell from his sinless and happy state, in consequence of which, all mankind are now sinners, not by constraint, out of choice; and therefore under just condemnation without excuse. Gen. 3:1-6, 24; Rom. 5:19; 3:10-19; Eph. 2:1, 3; Rom. 1:18; Ezk. 18:19-20; Rom. 1:34; 1:20, 28; Gal. 3:32; Rom. 5:12. VII. OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner; born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was ever born or can be born of woman, and that He is both the Son of God, and God the Son. Gen. 3:16; Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:35; Mk. 1:1; Jn. 1:14; Ps. 2:7; Gal. 4:4; I Jn. 5:20; I Cor. 15:47. VIII. OF THE ATONEMENT FOR SIN We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God, who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon Him our nature, yet without sin, honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and by His death made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins; that his atonement consisted not in setting us an example by His death as a martyr, but was the voluntary substitution of Himself in the sinner's place, the just dying for the unjust, Christ, the Lord bearing our sins in His own body on the tree; that, having risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in heaven and uniting in His wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfection, He is every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Savior. Eph. 2:8; Acts 15:11; Rom. 3:24; Jn. 3:16; Matt. 18:11; Phil. 2:7; Heb. 2:14; Isa. 53:4-7; Rom. 3:25; I Jn. 4:10; I Cor. 15:3; II Cor. 5:21; Jn. 10:18; Phil. 2:8; Gal. 1:4; I Pet. 2:24; I Pet. 3:18; Isa. 53:11; Heb. 12:2; I Cor. 15:20; Isa. 53:12; Heb. 9:12-15; Heb. 7:25; I Jn. 2:2. IX. OF GRACE IN THE NEW CREATION We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; that it is instantaneous and not a process; that in the new birth the one dead in trespasses and in sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God; that the new creation is brought about in a manner above our comprehension, not by culture, not by character, nor by the will of man, but wholly and solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith and newness of life. Jn. 3:3; II Cor. 5:17; I Jn. 5:1; Jn. 3:6-7; Acts 2:41; Acts 16:30-33; II Pet. 1:4; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:1; II Cor. 5:19; Col. 2:13; Jn. 3:8; Jn. 1:12-13; Gal. 5:22; Eph. 5:9. |
