Declaration of Faith

What We Believe Cont'd

• We believe that the Bible is the only verbally, fully inspired Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20,21), inerrant and infallible in matters of both fact and faith (Mt. 5:17; John 10:35); that is has absolute authority over all earthly wisdom (1 Cor. 1:18-31) and that it teaches us what we are to believe and how we are to live (James 1:19-27).
  
  
• We believe that man has a sinful nature from conception (Ps. 51:5; Ps. 58:3), is totally dead in sin (Eph. 2:1), unable to save himself (Tit. 1:15,16), and in need of a Savior (Rom. 3).
  
  
• We believe salvation consists of the remission of sins, the imputation of Christ’s righteousness and the gift of eternal life received by faith alone, apart from works (Eph. 2:8, 9; Tit. 3:5).  All who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, being freely justified by the Father are born again by the Holy Spirit (Romans 1-5; Eph. 1:3-14)
  
  
• We believe in the existence of Satan (Luke 11:18), his warfare against God (Acts 26:18, 2 Cor. 4:4; 1 John 3:8-10), and his defeat on the cross (Col. 2:15) for eternity (Rev. 20:10).
  
  
• We believe in the literal, supernatural creation (Gen. 1,2; Job 38-41) – everything existing according to God’s power (Col. 1:15, 17).
  
  
• We believe in the resurrection of the saved unto everlasting life and blessedness in heaven (Dan. 12:2; John 5:28-29; 14:1-3; Rev. 21,22) and in the resurrection of the lost unto everlasting conscious punishment in hell (Rev. 20:11-15).
  
  
• We believe The Church is the Body of Christ, composed of all born-again believers (Eph. 4:1-16; 5:25-27; Col. 1:18), meeting together in local assemblies for worship and fellowship (Acts 2:42-47; Phil. 1:1; 1 Th. 1: Rev. 1:4).
