Declaration of Faith – Beliefs

We believe…

1. The bible to be the inspired Word of God, and accept the same as the only infallible guide and rule of our faith and practice. (Math. 24:35; Ps 118:89; II Tim. 3:16-17; II Tim 2:15; II Pet 1:19-21)

2.  In the eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and immutable Triune God, maker of heaven and earth, and all that in them is and in the unity of the Godhead. There are three Persons, equal in every divine perfection and attribute, executing distincltly, but harmonious offices in the great work of redemptions. (I Jn. 5:7; II Cor. 13:14; Gen. 1:26; I Tim, 1:17)

God the Father (Isa. 43:10; 44:8; Jn. 3:16)
God the Son (Jn. 1:1-3; Math. 1:23; I Tim. 2:5; Eph. 2:18; Phil. 2:6-11)
God the Holy Spirit (Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:7-8)

3. The fall of man. (Gen. 3:1-19; Rom. 5:12,19; Isa. 53:6; Rom. 3:10,23)

4. The Plan of Redemption. Christ was the Lamb of God fore-ordained from the foundation of the world, and that by the shedding of His blood on the cross, He made provision for salvation for all men. (I Pet. 1:19-20; Isa. 53:5; Titus 2:14; Heb. 7:25)

5. The New Birth. It is totally impossible for men to save himself. Salvation is by God’s grace alone. It is received through sincere godly repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Through being born again, he becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new. (Jn. 3:3; II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20; I Pet. 2:24)

6. Daily Christian life. Having been cleansed by the blood and quickened by the Spirit, it is God’s will that we should be sanctified daily, and be made partakers of His holiness; walking not after the flesh, but after the Spirit; forsaking the very appearance of evil such as worldly amusements, worldly conversation, worldly habits, etc. (Rom. 1:5; 12:1-12; II Cor. 7:1; I Pet. 1:15; I Thess. 5:5)

7. Marriage and Divorce. Knowing that marriage was instituted by God, sanctioned by the Lord Jesus and commended by Paul as being honorable among all men; we believe that a Christian man or woman should not marry an unsaved person. Having been united by God in holy matrimony, neither person, as long as both live, should be free to divorce and marry another. (II Cor. 6:15; Matt. 19:5-6; Heb. 13:4; Lk. 16:18)

8. Water Baptism. Water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is commended by God; that it is subsequent to conversion, that it is not a saving ordinance, but an outward sign of an inward work. (Matt. 28:29; Rom. 6:4; Acts 2:28)

10. Lord’s Supper. In the commemoration of the Lord’s supper as type of the “broken body” and “shed blood” of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as an ordinance showing forth the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord, and a looking forward to the “Marriage Supper” of the Lamb. (I Cor. 11:23-27; Lk. 22:7-22)

11. Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Jn. 14:16; Acts 1:8; 2:4, 38-39; 19:6; I Cor. 3:16)

12. Divine Healing (Isa. 53:4-5; Matt. 8:16-17; James 5:14-16; Acts 3:16)

13. The Rapture and the Second coming of Christ (Rev.)

14. Mission. The great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ to carry the gospel message to the entire world is literal, imperative and binding today. (Matt. 9:38; Mark 16:15; Rev. 5:9; Rom. 10:13-15; James 5:20; Ps. 2:8)

15. Evangelism – soul winning is the chief mission of the church upon earth. (II Tim. 4:1-2; Eph. 5:16; Prv. 11:30; Eze. 3:17-18; Jn 4:35-37)

16. Hell. Hell is a literal place of outer darkness, bitter sorrow, remorse and woe, prepared by God for the devil and his angels. But those who would reject God and His principles and commandments, whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of Life will be sent there also. (Rev. 20:10, 14-15; 21:7-8; 14:10-11; Matt. 25:41; Mk. 9:43-44)

17. Heaven. Heaven is the habitation of the living God, where Christ has gone to prepare for all His children, where they shall dwell eternally in happiness and security with Him. (I Cor. 2:9; Jm/ 14:2-3; Acts 1:9-11; Rev. 21:14; 22:5; 7:5-7)

18. Final Judgement where the wicked will be judged. (Matt. 13:41,43; Rev. 20:11-15)
