Our Beliefs
- We
believe in one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Creator of
all things.
- We
believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of
God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into
heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father
and is true God and true man.
- We
believe the Bible - in its - entirety to be the inspired Word
of God, and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
- We
believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness
of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
-
We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed
blood of Jesus Christ.
- We
believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the
Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of
heart and life.
- We
believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus
Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption.
- We
believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
as distinct from the new birth, in speaking with tongues as
the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of
the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We
view this as a private/devotional gift that is only exercised
in public worship as the Holy Spirit wills.
-
We believe in the Gifts of the Spirit, and believe that all
of these are available to believers as the Holy Spirit wills.
- We
believe in the Christian's hope: The soon-coming and personal
return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
