What We Believe:
God
We believe in only one true God; One in essence, nature, and
attributes, but existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
(I Jn. 5:7).
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, of His shed blood on the cross, for the forgiveness of sins, of His
bodily resurrection and ascension to the Father's right hand. We do not believe
that He is "A" way to the Father, but rather the "Only" way to the Father through which we can
receive righteousness, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. He is,
in fact, our salvation (I Cor. 1:30-31).
Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, expressed with
speaking in tongues according to Acts 1:8; 2:4; 9:17; 10:44-46; 11:15,16; and
19:6. We believe this experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new
birth, and can be received by faith (Gal. 3:2).
Gifts of the Spirit
We believe that spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Holy
Spirit are for the common good and building up of others today (I Cor. 12:7).
The Scriptures
We believe that all Scripture is inspired by God, and is our
final authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine, reproof, correction, and
instruction in righteousness (II Tim. 3:16,17).
Salvation
We believe that all who, in repentance and faith, receive the
Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord are born again (Acts 20:20-21; Rom. 10:9-13).
Healing
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has
provided healing for every human being—Body, Soul, & Spirit (Mt. 8:16,17;
Isa. 53:4; I Pet. 2:24).
The Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; the just
to everlasting life and the unjust to everlasting damnation (Mt. 25:46).
The Second Coming
We believe in a literal, physical second coming of the Lord
Jesus Christ (I Th. 1:10; 4:16-17).
The Church
We believe that the universal church, the Body of Christ, is comprised of all true
believers who have received salvation through Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). We also
believe that we should not give up the gathering together and encourage the fellowship of the Saints in a local church (Heb. 10:25).
