We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the inspired word of God, the final authority for faith, life and church establishment, inerrant in the original writings, and preserved without error in the English King James Bible.2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20-21, Psalm 12:6-7, Luke 21:33, Isaiah 8:20.
KJV
We believe that the Lord God has preserved his word perfectly in the Authorized Version known commonly as the King James Bible and it is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. We believe it to be inerrant in it's teachings and perfect in it's translation. We believe that the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures has been preserved in the King James Bible. Therefore we believe the King James Bible to be the perfectly preserved, inspired word of God.
THE GODHEAD
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections. Deut. 6:4, 2 Corinthians 13:14.
We believe the Father is the one and living God; an infinite and intelligent Spirit. Ex. 20:2-3, John 4:24.
We believe on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Son of God and God the Son. We believe in his pre-incarnate deity – John. 1:1, virgin birth – Luke. 1:35, sinless life – Hebrews. 4:15, substitutionary death - 2 Corinthians. 5:21, bodily resurrection - Acts 1:3, ascension - Acts 1:9-11, priest hood – Hebrews. 2:11, imminent pre-tribulation coming of Christ for his saints - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, pre-millennial coming of Christ with his saints to set up his kingdom on earth – Revelations 19.
We believe that the Spirit is a divine Person equal with the Father and the Son - Matthew 28:19. He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment – John 16:8-11; comforts – John 14:16-11; witnesses - Romans 8:16, and sanctifies - 1 Pet. 1:2.
SALVATION
We believe in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ for sin - 1 John 1:1, Colossians 1:14, 1 Peter 1:18-19.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9, John 1:12, 3:16, Acts 20:24, 13:38-39, 15:9-1l.
We believe in the eternal security and assurance of believers. Once saved, we are kept by God's power and are secure in Christ forever. John 6:37, 10:27-30, Ephesians 1:13, 4:30. 1 John 5:11-13.
SATAN
We believe in the existence of Satan who was once a sinless being but fell by pride. Isaiah 14:12-l4, Ezekial28:12-18.
CREATION
We believe in the Genesis account of the direct creation of the universe and man by God, not by the process of evolution. Genesis 1:1, Psalms 8:3, 19:1, John 1:9-10, Revelation 4:11, 14:6-1.
CONDITION OF MAN
We believe in the voluntary fall of man resulting in the spiritual death, guilt, and fall of the race of Adam. Genesis 3, Romans 5, Ephesians 2:1-3.
HEAVEN AND HELL
We believe in eternal bliss in heaven for all who are saved through Christ's shed blood. We believe in a literal hell and eternal damnation in the lake of fire for all who are lost. Revelation 20:11-15, Mark 9:43-48, Luke 16, Isaiah 66.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the unity of all true believers, which is the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 2 Corinthians 11:2, Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:25-27.
We believe in the local church as an assembly of baptized believers gathered together for the purpose of performing the Great Commission. Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8-9, Ephesians 5:25, 1 Tim. 3:15, Romans 1:14-16.
We believe that the ordinances of the local church are baptism and the Lord's supper. Baptism: the only biblical mode of believers baptism is by total immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the command of God - Matthew 28:19, and is a figure of the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Pet. 3:21, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Lords Supper: the commemoration of our Lord's death by the bread and the fruit of the vine is always preceeded by self-examination. 1 Corinthians 11:23-28.
We do not accept any form of the Ecumenical or charismatic movement of this day. 2 Corinthians 6:14-11, Amos 3:3, 1 Tim. 4:13, 1 Corinthians 13:8, 2 Corinthians 12:12, 11:4, 13-15, 2 Thessalonians 2:9.
