​

God

We believe in ONE GOD, and that He only, is God; that He is eternal, invisible, infinite in wisdom; goodness, mercy, love, grace and power. That He is Maker of Heaven and earth; and that as God, He is triune, being revealed as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

• Isaiah 45:5-6, John 17:3, Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 44:6 

• Deuteronomy 4:35,  Deuteronomy 4:39, 2 Samuel 7:22 

​

The Son of God

We believe that Jesus Christ, is the Son of God and is the second person in the Godhead, co-equal and coexistent, with the Father and the Holy Ghost. We believe that in the fullness of time, He was manifested in the flesh, by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He was later crucified, then was resurrected from the grave, ascending to the right hand of God.  

• Matthew 16:16, Matthew 17:5, Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:35, 1 John 5:20 

 

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who is the third Person in the triune Godhead. He is ever present and active in the Church of Christ, convicting and regenerating those who believe in Jesus Christ. He dwells in, sanctifies, teaches, and comforts believers and guides them into all truth as it is in Christ Jesus.  He empowers them to witness for Christ. 

• John 14:16, John 16:8, John 14:17 

• John 16:1, John 14:26, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38

 

The Gift of the Holy Spirit 

We believe that every true believer is heir to the Holy Ghost. We believe that He is the gift of God to the children of God, sanctifying, quickening, guiding into all truth, and giving power to obey and witness God’s word. We believe that the receiving of the Holy Spirit is an integral part of conversion.  

• Romans 8:16-17, Acts 2:38-39, Luke 11:13 

• John 16:13, Acts 1:8, Titus 3:5, 1 Corinthians 12:13

 

We believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is the confirmation of man’s acceptance with God and the commitment or guarantee of Man’s eternal inheritance in Christ. 

•  2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 5:5

​

 We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells the church. His indwelling also is referred to as a gift, a receiving, a filling, and an anointing. We believe that the spirit-filled life produces the fruit of the Spirit , however, the greatest fruit is love. 

• Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 3:16, John 14:16-17 

• Acts 2:38, John  30:22, Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 13:13

 

The Holy Bible 

We believe that the Holy Bible is composed of sixty-six books, known as the Old and New Testaments, These books in the original manuscripts, contain the eternal inerrant word of God. We believe that the Bible was written by holy men, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, and that it contains all necessary truth pertaining to salvation and to Christian living . 

• 2 Timothy 3:16, Revelation 22:18-19, Matthew 24:35, Romans 15:4 

     

Original Sin 

1. We believe that original sin is the corruption of the nature of all offspring of Adam, by which they are separated from original righteousness, and made sinners by nature, and that it is referred to in the scriptures as, the carnal mind; the flesh; sin that dwelleth in me; and such like.

• Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬‬‬, ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬‬, ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭‬‬ 

 

2. We believe that original sin renders man unfit to enter the presence of God, and incapacitates man for the service of God , and to keep God’s holy law. 

• 1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬, ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭10‬, Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭

 

3. We believe that original sin cannot be overcome by mere force of human will, nor by mental culture, but must be eradicated by the Holy Spirit through the blood of Jesus Christ 

• ‭‭Romans‬ 7‬:‭12‬-‭23‬, ‭‭Hebrews‬ 9‬:‭14,‬ Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭29‬-‭31‬, ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭

 

4. We believe that original sin brings every man under the penalty of death and makes man by nature a child of wrath, and that only Christ can deliver from the penalty of death and restore man to divine favor and give everlasting life 

• ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭3‬, ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭19‬, ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭‬‬ 

​

Atonement 

We believe that the atonement made by Jesus Christ through the shedding of His blood for the remission of sins is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin. 

• Romans 5:9, Romans 3:25, Isaiah 53:5, Romans 5:1

• John 3:16, 1 John 2:2

​

Repentance 

We believe that repentance is a sincere change of the mind involving a sense of personal guilt of sin and a turning away from sins to righteousness; and that the penitent heart is graciously helped and pardoned by the spirit of God. 

• Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9-10

 

Baptism

We believe that water baptism (immersion) is commanded by our Lord as an ordinance in the church; and that it is for the believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ (not infants who cannot believe). 

• ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬-‭20‬, Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬-‭16‬, Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬, Acts‬ ‭8‬:‭36‬-‭38‬ 

 

‭‭The Lord’s Supper

We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a New Testament ordinance, and that it was instituted when our Lord celebrated His Last Passover with His disciples, and that it consists of bread and wine, and that as often as we take it we show forth the Lord’s death till He comes again. 

• Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭26‬-‭29‬, Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭22‬-‭25‬, 1 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭23‬-‭34‬ ‭‬‬ 

 

Justification Regeneration

We believe that justification is full pardon granted to all who repent, believe and receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, (exonerating a person from the guilt of sin.). 

• ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭26‬, Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬ ‭

 

We believe that regeneration is a spiritual transformation wrought in the heart of the penitent by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, renewing him spiritually; 

• Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭7‬, Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭26‬-‭27‬, 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬

• John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬, Romans‬ 6‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ 

 

Sanctification

We believe that sanctification (being set apart for holiness) is a continuous process, whereby man is continually evolving (spiritually and emotionally) to become more like Christ.  

• ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬, ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬, John ‬‭17‬:‭18‬-‭19‬

• Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬, Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭‬‬ 

 

Resurrection

We believe that Christ truly rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us. 

• ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8‬:‭1, Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭19‬ 

​

We believe in the bodily resurrection from the dead, of the just and the unjust; The just shall be raised incorruptible and shall be changed and made like unto Christ’s own glorious body. The unjust shall be resurrected also, but unto everlasting damnation and punishment. 

• ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭42‬-‭45‬, John‬ ‭5‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭

​

The Rapture

We believe In the rapture (catching away) of the church from the earth realm, as a future event. Christ will come in the clouds (not on the earth), and meet the resurrected believers there.

• ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬-‭18‬, 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭51‬-‭52‬,

•  ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭10, ‭‬‬ ‭Revelation‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

 

The Second Coming 

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return to Earth ( physically) with His angels and the previously raptured believers, resurrect the dead believers  to His paradise, and dead unbelievers to eternal damnation.Then, God’s  Eternal New Heaven and new Earth will begin.

• ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭28‬-‭29‬, ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭41‬-‭43‬,  ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭11‬-‭16‬
