1. We believe that the Bible,
consisting of Old and New Testaments only, is verbally
inspired by the Holy Spirit, is inerrant in the original
manuscripts, and is the infallible and authoritative Word
of God.
2. We believe that the one triune God exists eternally in
three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Adam, created in the image of God, was
tempted by Satan, the god of this world, and fell. Because
of Adam's sin, all men have guilt imputed, are totally
depraved, and need to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit of
salvation.
4. We believe that Jesus Christ is God, was born of a
virgin, died vicariously, shed His blood as man's
substitutionary sacrifice, rose bodily, and ascended to
heaven, where He is presently exalted at the Father's
right hand.
5. We believe that salvation consists of the remission of
sins, the imputation of Christ's righteousness, and the
gift of eternal life received by faith alone, apart from
works.
6. We believe that the return of the Christ is imminent,
and that it will be visible and personal.
7. We believe that the saved will be raised to everlasting
life and blessedness in heaven, and that the unsaved will
be raised to everlasting and conscious punishment in hell.
8. We believe that the church, the body of Christ,
consists of those who are born again, who are baptized by
the Holy Spirit into Christ at the time of regeneration,
for whom He now makes intercession in heaven and for whom
He will come again.
9. We believe that Christ commanded the Church to go into
all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,
baptizing and teaching those who believe.
