Statement
of Faith
I BELIEVE the Bible to be the inspired,
infallible, authoritative and inerrant Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16; II
Peter 1:20, 21)
I BELIEVE that there is one God, eternally
existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1; John
10:30, 37, 38)
I BELIEVE in the death of our Lord Jesus
Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right
hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Is.
7:14; Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:35; Heb. 4:15, 7:25; John 2:11; Heb. 9:12; Col.
1:14; John 11:25; Acts 1:11; Rev. 19:11-16)
I BELIEVE that man is sinful by nature and
that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is an absolute necessity for his
salvation, which is initiated and accomplished by grace through faith in
Jesus Christ. (Rom. 3:19, 23; John 3:16; John 5:24; Eph. 2:8, 9; Titus
3:5, 6)
I BELIEVE in the continuing ministry of the
Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christ is enabled to live a godly
life. (Eph. 5:18, 4:30; I Cor. 3:16, 6:19, 20)
I BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the
saved and the lost; those who are saved unto eternal life and those who
are lost unto eternal damnation. (John 5:28, 29)
I BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of believers
in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 12:12, 13; Gal. 3:26-28)
I BELIEVE in the creation of man, and all
things, by the direct act of GOD. (Gen. 1:26-28, 5:1, 2; John 1:3)
