What We Believe
We Believe:
In the Bible as the Divinely inspired inerrant Word of God, the revelation of His mind and
will to man, our infallible, all-sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
In one God, the Creator of all, eternally existing
in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the
deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is true God and true man begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and that He
has a perfect and sinless humanity (John 1:1; Philippians 2:6; Matthew 1:23-25; 1 John 3:5).
In the depravity of the nature of man through his fall in the Garden of Eden, and the absolute inability of man to
save himself from eternal punishment by his own works (Genesis 3; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved to Heaven (1 Thessalonians
4:17), and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in Hell (Revelation 20:11-15).
In the immediate and eternal salvation of every person who truly believes on Christ and by faith rests on His finished
work as the only righteous ground on which a Holy God can forgive sins.
That all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour are born again by the Holy Spirit, indwelt and sealed
by the Holy Spirit, baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ, the Church, of which Jesus is the risen and ascended
Head. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Colossians 1:18).
That
water baptism by immersion symbolizes and identifies the believer with the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
That the early Church met together and "continued
steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread, and in prayers" (Acts 2:42), which
is also God's pattern for the church today.
In the
personal, imminent, and premillennial coming of the Lord in the air to Rapture (catch up) the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17),
and
In the revelation of Christ in glory at His Second
Advent to the earth to establish His Kingdom on earth and to reign in righteousness.
