Statement of Faith
BELIEFS THAT WE LIVE BY
Article 1:
We believe the Bible,
to be the inspired Word of God, without error, the revelation of
His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final
authority for all Christian faith and life. (II Timothy 3:16)
Article 2:
We believe in one God
existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The
trinity of persons in the Godhead-Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
and yet not three but one God. (I Corinthians 8:6; I John 5:7)
Article 3:
We believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God, having been conceived of the Holy
Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and
died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins according to the
Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and ascended
into heaven. (Matthew 1:20 – 21, 25; John 19:17-19; John
20:16-17)
Article 4:
We believe that the
sacrificial death of Jesus Christ provides the only way of
justification and salvation for all who believe. Furthermore,
any who attach additional works of man as a requirement for
salvation are false in that they infer Jesus death is
insufficient in and of itself to save and that human beings
somehow have the capability to save themselves. (John 3:16;
Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:5,8)
Article 5:
We believe in the
second coming of Jesus Christ as taught in the scriptures. (Acts
1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 9:28)
