The Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, the written record of His supernatural revelation of Himself to man, absolute in its authority, complete in its revelation, final and without errors in its content (Exodus 34:27; Jeremiah 30:1-2; 11 Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21; Revelation 22:18-19).
In one God, sovereign, almighty, holy, unchanging, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19; John 14:16-17).
In the deity of Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:16; John 1:1-2; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3). His virgin birth (Matthew 1:18-20), His blood atonement (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter, 1:18- 19; 1 John 1:7), His sinless perfection (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26), His bodily resurrection (Luke 24:20. 51; Acts 1:9), and His present life in heaven for us as High Priest and Advocate (Mark 16:19; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 6:20; 7:25; 1 John 2.1).
In the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:27; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
The Holy Spirit is a person of the Godhead, that He is sent by the Lord Jesus Christ from God the Father to convict the world of sin, to regenerate, seal, indwell, guide, teach, anoint, and intercede with each believer, and to baptize each believer into the body of Christ (John 15:26; 16:7, 13; Ephesians 1:13; 1 John 2:20, 27; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 8:27).
Man in his natural state is spiritually lost, alienated from God, and is incapable of any personal effort or merit for the attainment of salvation (Romans 3-5). The salvation of man is by grace, a free gift of God, received through faith in the Lord Jesus (Romans 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:8-9), who "died for our sins according to the scriptures," and who is "the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" (I Corinthians 15:3; 1 John 2:2). Without His death and the shedding of His blood there is no remission of sins (Romans 5:9; Hebrews 9:22: 10:19- 20). Those who receive Christ by faith (John 1:12) have their sins forgiven (Ephesians 1:7) and are baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 12:13), thereby becoming children of God (John 1:12).
All true believers have eternal life as a present possession, being "sealed unto the day of redemption" (Ephesians 4:30), and can therefore have full assurance of salvation for time and eternity (John 3:16; 5:24; 10:28-29; I Peter 1:3-5; 1 John 5:12-13; Jude 24).
In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust (John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17), the everlasting blessedness of the saved (I Thessalonians 4:17), and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:12-15).
The Church is the company of believers baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:13); that the duty of each believer is to faithfully identify and serve through a local church whose mission is the fulfillment of the Great Commission as stated in Matthew 28:18-20, and whose power to fulfill that mission is the power of the indwelling Christ (Galatians 2:20; Philippians 1:6; 4:13; 2 Peter 1:3).
Water baptism is a symbol signifying the union of the believer with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection to newness of life (Romans 6:3-11).
The Lord's Supper is a memorial signifying the offering of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, for the sins of the world, and a reminder of His promised return (Matthew 26: 26-30; I Corinthians 11:23-26).
Every child of God is commanded to live a life of obedience to God and separation from evil. We believe that the beginning evidence of this life of obedience and separation is repentance from sin (Romans 12:1-2: II Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 John 2:15) and that the power for such a life is provided by the indwelling Spirit of God (Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 5:18).
