What We Believe

Scripture 
       We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God. We       
       believe in verbal, plenary inspiration in the original writings, and God's preservation of His pure words to every    
       generation.   We believe the King James Version of the Bible to be the preserved Word of God for English speaking people.  The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice and the King James Bible is used exclusively in all
       services, classes, and outreach ministries.
        - Psalm 12:6-7, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21


The Trinity
       One God eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Godhead is co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. 
       - Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6, 1 John 5:7

The Son
       Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, who became flesh , was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the
       cross, was buried and resurrected from it to purchase salvation for all who will accept Him, and He now sits at the   
       right hand of the Father.
       - Matthew 1:18-23, John 1:1 & 14, Philippians 2:5-8, 1 Timothy 3:16

Sin
       God created man in His image. Man sinned in the Garden and then received not only physical death but spiritual
       death which is eternal separation from God in hell. Because of Adams sin, all are born with a sin nature.
       - Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:16-19, Romans 5:12


Salvation
       We believe that the clear message of salvation is “repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”.  We believe           that salvation is "by grace" plus nothing minus nothing. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted                 righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
       - John 3:16, John 6:47, John 14:6, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8


Baptism
       After salvation,  you must be baptized by scriptural immersion as an outward symbol of your faith and obedience to God's Word.
       - Matthew 28:19, Acts 6:36-38 Romans 6:3-4, 1 Corinthians 12:13


Assurance of Salvation
       All true believers, having been born into the family of God, are possessors of everlasting life, shall never perish and are eternally      secure.
       - John 10:28-29, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 1 John 5:13


Separation
       As children of the Lord, we are set apart. We should endeavor, by God's grace to live a consistent Christian life and refrain from        worldliness and conduct ourselves in such a way as not to be a stumbling block.
       - Romans 12:1-2,  2 Corinthians 6:17, Ephesians 2:10, Colossians 3:1-17

The Lords Supper               
       The Lords Supper is a commemoration of His death until He comes, and is to be celebrated periodically. It is a memorial of what       Christ did for us.              
       - 1 Corinthians 11:23-30  
           

The Second Coming              
       We believe the "Blessed Hope" of our Lord's return is literal, personal, visible, imminent, pre-millennial, and pre-tribulational.           He will rapture His Church prior to the seven years of tribulation, and at the end of the tribulation Christ will return with His           saints to establish His one thousand-year reign on the earth.              
       - I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Titus 2:13, Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-6
