WE BELIEVE THAT "ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD". (BY THE SCRIPTURES WE MEAN THE WHOLE OF THE BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE) IN THE SENSE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE THE VERY WORDS OF THE SACRED WRITINGS TO THE HOLY MEN OF OLD TO THE SMALLEST WORD AND INFLECTION OF A WORD, PROVIDED SUCH WORD IS FOUND IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS. 2 TIM. 3:16; 2 PETER 1:21; 1 COR. 2:13; MARK 12:26, 36; 13:11; ACTS 1:16. 

WE BELIEVE THAT THE GODHEAD ETERNALLY EXISTS IN THREE PERSONS: THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THESE THREE ARE ONE GOD, HAVING PRECISELY THE SAME HOMAGE, CONFIDENCE AND OBEDIENCE DUE THEM. MARK 12:29; JOHN 1:1-4; MATT. 28:19: ACTS 5:3-4; 2 COR. 13:14; HEB. 1:1-3; REV. 1:1-6. 

WE BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO TOOK UPON HIM OUR NATURE, BEING CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY; HIS PERFECT DEITY AND HUMANITY; HIS DEATH UPON THE CROSS AS SUBSTITUTIONARY SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS; HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD IN THE BODY IN WHICH HE WAS CRUCIFIED: HIS ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN IN THAT BODY GLORIFIED, WHERE HE IS NOW INTERCEDING FOR HIS OWN. WE BELIEVE IN HIS VISIBLE, IMMINENT RETURN, TO TAKE HIS BODY (THE TRUE CHURCH) TO BE WITH HIM; HIS GLORIOUS AND LITERAL KINGDOM OVER ALL THE NATIONS FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS; HIS GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT OF THE WICKED AND HIS ETERNAL REIGN WITH THE FATHER IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH. COL. 1:15; PHIL. 2:5-8; MATT. 1:18-25; 1 PETER 2:24-25; LUKE 24; HEB. 4:14-16; ACTS 1:9-11; 1 THESS. 4:16-18; MATT.25:31-46; REV. 11:15-17; 20:4-6, 11-15. 

WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IN HIS DEITY AND PERSONALITY. (NOT AS A MERE INFLUENCE) AND THAT HE IS THE SOURCE AND POWER OF ALL ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP AND SERVICE. HE IS OUR EVER-PRESENT, INDWELLING COMFORTER AND HELPER. IT IS HE WHO CONVICTS THE WORLD OF SIN, CAUSES THE LIFE OF GOD TO BE BORN WITHIN THE BELIEVER, BAPTIZES BELIEVERS INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST AND PRODUCES WITHIN THE BELIEVER THE NATURE OF GOD. JOHN 7:38-39; 14-16; 15-26; 16-13-14; ACTS 1:8; ROM. 8:9 AND PHIL. 3;3. 

WE BELIEVE THAT MAN, ORIGINALLY CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND AFTER THE LIKENESS OF GOD, FELL FROM HIS HIGH AND HOLY ESTATE BY EATING OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, AND AS THE CONSEQUENCE OF HIS DISOBEDIENCE THE PENALTY OF DEATH WAS THEN AND THERE INFLICTED, SO THAT HIS MORAL NATURE WAS NOT ONLY GRIEVOUSLY INJURED BY THE FALL, BUT HE TOTALLY LOST ALL SPIRITUAL LIFE, BECOMING DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS, AND SUBJECT TO THE POWER OF THE DEVIL.GEN 1:26; 2:17; JOHN 5:40; 6:53; EPH. 2:1-3; TIM. 5:6; 1 JOHN 3:8. 

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SPIRITUAL DEATH OR TOTAL SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY OF HUMAN NATURE HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED TO THE ENTIRE RACE OF MAN, THE GOD-MAN CHRIST JESUS ALONE EXCEPTED; HENCE THAT EVERY CHILD OF ADAM IS BORN INTO THE WORLD WITH A NATURE WHICH NOT ONLY POSSESSES NO SPARK OF DIVINE LIFE, BUT IS ESSENTIALLY AT ENMITY WITH GOD, AND INCAPABLE BY ANY EDUCATIONAL PROCESS WHATEVER OF SUBJECTION TO HIS LAW. GEN. 6:5; PSALM 14:1-3; JER. 17:9; JOHN 3:6; ROM. 5:12-19; 8:6-7.  

WE BELIEVE THAT, OWING TO THIS UNIVERSAL DEPRAVITY AND DEATH IN SIN, NO ONE CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNLESS BORN AGAIN; AND THAT NO DEGREE OF REFORMATION, HOWEVER GREAT; NO ATTAINMENT IN MORALITY, HOWEVER HIGH; NO CULTURE, HOWEVER ATTRACTIVE; NO HUMANITARIAN AND PHILANTHROPIC SCHEME AND SOCIETIES, HOWEVER USEFUL, NO BAPTISM OR OTHER ORDINANCE, HOWEVER ADMINISTERED, CAN HELP THE SINNER TO TAKE EVEN ONE STEP TOWARD HEAVEN, BUT A NEW NATURE IMPARTED FORM ABOVE. A NEW LIFE IMPLANTED BY THE HOLY GHOST THROUGH THE WORD IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION. ISA. 64:6; JOHN 3:5, 18; GAL. 6:15; PHIL. 3:4-9; TITUS 3:5; JAMES 1:18, AND 1 PETER 1:23. 

WE BELIEVE THAT OUR REDEMPTION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY THE VICARIOUS DEATH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS MADE TO BE SIN, AND MADE A CURSE FOR US, DYING IN OUR ROOM AND STEAD; AND THAT NO REPENTANCE, NO FEELING , NO FAITH, NO GOOD RESOLUTIONS, NO SINCERE EFFORTS, OF SUBMISSION TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF ANY CHURCH, CAN ADD IN THE VERY LEAST TO THE VALUE OF HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS, OR TO THE MERITS OF THAT FINISHED WORK, WROUGHT FOR US BY JESUS. THE MERITS OF THAT FINISHED WORK, WROUGHT FOR US BY JESUS WHO UNITED IN HIS PERSON, TRUE AND PROPER DEITY WITH PERFECT AND SINLESS HUMANITY. LEV. 17:11; MATT. 26:28; ROM. 5:6-9; 2 COR.5:21; GAL. 3:13; EPH. 1:7; 1 PETER 1:18-19.  

WE BELIEVE THAT CHRIST IS RECEIVED BY FAITH ALONE, AND THAT THE MOMENT WE TRUST IN HIM AS OUR SAVIOR WE PASS OUT OF DEATH INTO EVERLASTING LIFE BEING JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS, ACCEPTED BEFORE THE FATHER ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF CHRIST'S ACCEPTANCE, LOVED AS HE IS LOVED, AND ONE WITH HIM FOREVER. JOHN 5:24; ACTS 13:39; ROM. 5:1; EPH. 2:4-6:13; 1 JOHN 4:17; 5:11-12.  

WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE PRIVILEGE OF ALL WHO ARE BORN AGAIN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST, TO BE ASSURED OF THEIR SALVATION FROM THE VERY DAY THEY TAKE HIM TO BE THEIR SAVIOR; AND THAT THIS ASSURANCE IS NOT FOUNDED UPON ANY FANCIED DISCOVERY OF THEIR OWN WORTHINESS, BUT WHOLLY UPON THE TESTIMONY OF GOD IN HIS WRITTEN WORD. LUKE 10:20; 12:32; JOHN 6:47; ROM. 8:38-39; 2 COR. 5:1, 6-8; 2 TIM. 1:12; 1 JOHN 5:13. 

WE BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH IS COMPOSED OF ALL WHO ARE UNITED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE RISEN AND ASCENDED SON OF GOD; THAT BY THE SAME SPIRIT WE ARE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY, AND THAT THUS, BEING MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE, RISING ABOVE ALL SECTARIAN PREJUDICES AND LOVING ONE ANOTHER WITH A PURE HEART FERVENTLY. MATT. 16:16-18; ACTS 2:32-47; ROM. 12:5; 1 COR. 12:2-27; EPH. 1:20-23; 4:3-10; AND COL. 3:14, 15. 

WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE CALLED WITH A HOLY CALLING TO WALK, NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT; AND SO TO LIVE IN THE SPIRIT THAT WE SHOULD NOT FULFILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH; BUT THE FLESH (THE OLD NATURE), BEING STILL IN US TO THE END OF OUR EARTHLY PILGRIMAGE, NEEDS TO BE KEPT CONSTANTLY IN SUBJECTION TO CHRIST, OR IT WILL SURELY MANIFEST ITS PRESENCE TO THE DISHONOR OF HIS NAME. ROM. 8:12,13; GAL. 5:16-25; EPH. 4:22-24; COL.3:1-10; 1 PETER 1:14-16;  1 JOHN 3:5-9. 

WE BELIEVE THAT THE DEVIL (SATAN) IS THE ARCH ENEMY OF GOD AND MAN, AND IN THE ETERNAL CONSCIOUS PUNISHMENT OF THE LOST IN A LITERAL HELL OF TORMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR ALL THE SAVED, THAT THEIR SOULS GO TO BE WITH HIM AT DEATH; THAT THE BODIES OF THE DEAD WILL BE RESURRECTED, AND THE LIVING TRANSFORMED AT HIS SECOND COMING (THE RAPTURE), AT WHICH TIME THEY WILL BE REWARDED ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. MATT. 13:19,39; ACTS 5:3; EPH. 6:11,12; ROM. 2:5,6,8,9; 2 THESS. 1:8,9; REV. 21:8; JOHN 14:1-3; 1 THESS. 4:13-18; MATT. 25:20-23; LUKE 19:12,13,15-19; COR. 5:10. 

WE BELIEVE, CONCERNING THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF OUR CHURCH, THAT TITHES AND OFFERINGS ARE GOD'S ONE AND ONLY SOLUTION FOR CHURCH EXPENSES. ALTHOUGH TITHING IS NOT REQUIRED, EVERY MEMBER IS URGED TO ADOPT THIS PRINCIPLE FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL GOOD, AND IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD. (MAL. 3:8-10; 1 COR. 16:1,2; 2 COR. 9:6,7; PHIL. 4:16-19). THIS CHURCH DOES NOT PERMIT SUCH METHODS OF CHURCH FINANCE AS BAZAARS, RUMMAGE SALES AND OTHER FINANCIAL PROMOTIONS. 

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS LOCAL CHURCH, IN OBEDIENCE TO OUR SAVIOR'S GREAT COMMISSION, SHOULD AGGRESSIVELY SUPPORT A PROGRAM OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL THROUGH HOME AND FOREIGN MISSION BY PRAYER AND GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS. MATT. 28:19,20; ACT 1:8.
