We believe and teach that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inherent Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15; 2 Peter 1: 21). We believe and teach that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who created man by a direct immediate act (Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Matthew 28:19;John 10:30). We
believe and teach the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
(John 10:33); His
virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14;
Matthew 1:23;
Luke 1:35); His sinless
life (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26);
His miracles (John 2:11);
His vicarious and atoning death (I
Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9);
His We believe and teach the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God's grace through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24; Romans 3:23; 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5). We believe and teach the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28- 29). We believe and teach the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28). We believe and teach the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and infilling enables the Christian to live a godly life and witness to the saving grace of Christ (Acts. 1:8; Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18; Titus 2:11-14). |
