Our Statement of Faith [click here for the extended statement]
|
1. God
is the creator and ruler of the universe. He is revealed as Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
|
|
2.
Jesus is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. He offered
Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on
a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His
power over sin and death.
|
|
3. The
Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is
present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus as their
Savior. He also lives in every believer from the moment of their
salvation.
|
|
4. The
Bible is God's word to us. It is the supreme source of truth for
Christian belief and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the
truth without any mixture of error.
|
|
5.
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in
character. All of us are marred by an attitude of selfishness and
disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people
from God and results in many problems in life.
|
|
6.
Salvation is God's free gift to man, but we must accept it. We can
never make up for our sin by self-improvement, or good works. Only by
trusting in Jesus as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from
sin's penalty.
|
|
7.
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, The true
believer is secure in their salvation for eternity. If one has been
genuinely saved, he cannot "lose" his salvation. Salvation is
maintained by the grace and keeping power of God.
|
|
8. We believe in the
blessed hope ,the personal, imminent, pre-tribulation, and
pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to rapture His saints.
|
|
9. We
will either exist eternally separated from God by our sin, or eternally
with God through the forgiveness and salvation offered and accepted
through Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. To be eternally separated from
God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven.
