| We
Believe the Scriptures to be divinely
inspired and the record of God's revelation of Himself
dealing with man. They reveal God's righteousness, man's
sinfulness, and the utter hopelessness that will result
if reconciliation though Jesus Christ is rejected.
We Believe God
is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being. His
nature and character are of complete righteousness,
perfection, holiness and love. His character is revealed
in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We Believe Jesus
is the second person of the Trinity. God incarnate.
Conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin
Mary - completely God and completely man - yet without
sin. He is the only mediator between man and God through
which Salvation comes.
We Believe the
Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity - God's
present revelation of himself and dealings with man
are by and through His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
convicts man of sin, then draws him (man) to God through
Jesus Christ. The Spirit guides man on his journey through
life.
We Believe Salvation
is attained only by God's grace and through personal
faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 Man's only part
in salvation is to freely accept what Jesus accomplished
on the Cross.
We Believe the
Local Church is a redeemed, baptized (immersed), and
called out group of people. Its mission is to fulfill
the Great Commission. Matt. 28: 18-20
We Believe God
Will End the World (eschatology) in an act of judgment.
Prior to that, believers in Christ will be " called
out" and "caught up" to forever be with
the Lord. |
