WE BELIEVE…
1. That the Holy Scriptures, as given by God,
are divinely inspired by, infallible (entirely
trustworthy), and the supreme authority in all
matters of faith and practice.
2. In one God, eternally existent in three persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. In our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the
flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His
miracles, and His atoning death.
4. In the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, in His personal return, and the
judgment of the world by Him.
5. That "all have sinned", and are justly
exposed to the wrath of God.
6. That redemption from the guilt, penalty, and
power of sin is possible only through the death,
shed blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
7. In the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit
to make the death of Christ effective to the individual
sinner, granting him repentance towards God and
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, enabling the believer
to live a holy life, and to witness and work for
Him.
8. In the resurrection of the body, the eternal
blessedness of the righteous and the punishment
of the wicked.
9. That every believer is baptized into the body
of Christ by the Holy Spirit, and thus being members
of one another, is responsible for keeping the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, loving
one another with a pure heart fervently.
