1. All Scripture is divinely inspired by God, and is the Final Rule for faith and practice. II Tim 3:16; II Pet 1:21. We stand unapologetically on the belief that the King James Bible is the preserved Word of God in the English language. It is the only version used in our home and
our ministry.
2. One God eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Matt 3:16, 17; I Jn 5:7
3. Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is the true God and true man. Isa 7:14
4. Man was created in the image of God; man sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. All human beings are born with a sinful nature, thereby requiring a "new birth" experience in order to go to Heaven. Gen 1:26, 27; 2:16, 17; 3:22-24; Jn 3:3-7
5. Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood. Jn 3:16; Rom 5:1, 6-9; I Tim 2:5
6. The crucified body of our Lord was resurrected from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and is our intercessor. Matt 28:6; I Cor 15:4; Acts 1:9-11; Rom 8:34
7. The personal, pre-millennial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is imminent. Jn 14:3, Acts 1:11
8. All who repent of their sin toward God and receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and become the children of God. Acts 20:21, Jn 3:3, 5
9. Salvation is by grace through faith. No work by man, whether baptism or any other religious work, adds or aids in securing favor with God for salvation.
Isa 64:6; Eph 2:8-9; Rom 3:21-28, 4:1-5, 8:8, 11:6; Jn 6:28, 29
10. All believers are baptized at salvation by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ and set apart to service and a holy walk. I Cor 12:1-27; Titus 2:11-15; I Cor 6:19-21
11. All believers who are truly born again possess eternal life, are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption, will never perish, and are eternally secure in Him.
Jn 10:27-30, 5:24, 6:37; Eph 1:13, 14; 4:30
12. The bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost is certain. Jn 5:28, 29
13. Immersion is the only scriptural method of baptism and is only for believers. Rom 6:3-4; Acts 8:36,38; Matt 28:19
14. The Lord's Supper is a commemoration of His death until He comes.
Luke 22:17-20; I Cor 11:23-26
