| STATEMENT OF FAITH THE WORD: We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative word of God.. (2Timothy 3:16, 2Peter 1:20,21) GOD: We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three equal persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. (John 15:26) THE FATHER: We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, who is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, justice, and love. We believe that He concerns Himself justly and mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and hell all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. THE SON: We believe that God the Son, being eternal God, voluntarily and simultaneously took on the nature of man. He was born of a virgin, lived without sin, and died as our I substitute, receiving the punishment for the sin of all Mankind. He was buried, then physically resurrected on the third day. He ascended into heaven to prepare for our coming, and to make intercession for us. He will return personally, visibly, and physically to receive us to Himself, and to judge all mankind. THE HOLY GHOST: We believe in the Holy Ghost, whose ministry is to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement; and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He is our Helper, Teacher, Guide, and Comforter. MAN: We believe that all men are sinners by nature, and are therefore under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit. |
