statement of faith
WE BELIEVE:
The Bible: the King James Bible of 1611 is the inerrant, infallible, inspired, preserved word of God
God: in the existence of one living and true God, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth
Jesus Christ: the virgin birth, the deity in that he is God in the flesh, His death, burial and resurrection as well as his imminent return.
The Holy Spirit: that the Holy Spirit is a divine person equal with God the Father and the Son sealing every believer
Salvation: the salvation of a soul requires repentance toward God and faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord
Jesus Christ: It is by grace alone without works (Acts 20:21;Rm.10:9-10,3;Eph.2:8-9).
Eternal Security: that the saved are kept by the power of God unto eternal salvation so that they can never fall away or be lost.
The Church: that all true believers from the day of Pentecost to the time of the rapture, both Jews and Gentiles, make up the church. These comprise His body and Christ is the head of it (Eph. 1:22-23, 3:5-6). That this Church is manifested through local congregations made up of born-again baptized believers who meet together for evangelism and edification
Separation: that all believers should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Lord and Savior and that separation from sinful pleasures and worldly practices and associations is commanded by God
Second Coming: that there are two distinct phases of the second coming. His coming in the air to catch away His bride, the church, which is the believer’s blessed hope. This is the imminent pre-tribulational, pre-millennial return of Christ. The second phase is at the end of the tribulation period or Daniel's 70th week when the Lord returns to this world with the saints to sit on David’s throne and establish His Millennial Kingdom.
