STATEMENTS OF FAITH
|
|
|
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice. |
| |
|
We believe that there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship. |
|
|
We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory. |
|
|
We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man. |
|
|
We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocence, but by their disobedience, they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall, all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God. |
|
|
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has by His suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved. |
| |
|
We believe that repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation. |
|
|
We believe that we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself. |
|
|
We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ |
|
|
We believe in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers and in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church according to the New Testament. |
|
|
We believe in the ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness. |
| |
|
We believe in the personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfill the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgment, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth. |
