What we believe WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. WE BELIEVE that God is triune; that there are three eternal, co-equal and divine persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. WE BELIEVE in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ: that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. WE BELIEVE that the only way to be saved is by repentance toward God and faith in the blood sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. WE BELIEVE in the eternal security of the saints. WE BELIEVE that our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. He is the only mediator between God and man. WE BELIEVE that the Church, the body of Christ, began with the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost; that persons who accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior become members of the body of Christ and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. WE BELIEVE that the gospel commission is for the Church; that baptism in water and the Lord's Supper are divine ordinances to be observed by saints in this age. WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ may return at any moment to rapture the saints. Following the seven year Tribulation, Christ will return to the earth with the saints and rule for one thousand years. After this, the wicked dead will be judged and cast into the lake of fire. WE BELIEVE that Satan is a spirit, the author of the fall, and that he will be eternally punished. WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust; the eternal conscious punishment of the lost and the eternal joy of the saved. WE BELIEVE the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts. They are supernatural abilities that enable the believers to serve Christ in the church. WE BELIEVE that the sign of gifts; miracles, gifts of healings, tongues and interpretations were apostolic signs, thus were unique to the apostolic era. |
