| STATEMENT OF FAITH
I BELIEVE...
-
the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative
Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21)
-
there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19;
2 Corinthians 13:14)
-
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His
virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and
atoning death, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His
personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand
years
-
in the blessed hope, the rapture of the Church
at Christ's coming (1 Thesselonians 4:17); in the resurrection of both
the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting
damnation (Daniel 12:2; John 11:25,26; Revelation 21:7,8)
-
the only means of being cleansed from sin is through
repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (Ephesians 1:7)
-
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely
essential for personal salvation (John 1:13; 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23)
-
in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Galatians
5:16)
