We accept the entire Bible as God’s Word. We believe in the divine inspiration of the actual words of the Bible. We do not believe there are any other books containing a revelation from God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Revelation 22:18-19; John 2:11.
We believe in the Trinity: One God, yet, three persons. Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; 16:7-8.
We believe that by the Spirit we are baptized into the body of Christ at the moment of salvation. We do not believe speaking in an “unknown tongue: is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 5:18; Acts 6:3,5,8,10.
We believe there is an actual, living personal devil, God’s enemy and our adversary. There is only one such being. We believe the devil has many demons to aid him in his evil work. Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 5:1-16; 1 Peter 5:8.
We accept the Genesis account of the origin of the human race, namely, direct creation, not by evolution from some lower form of life. We believe Adam and Eve were the first human beings. Genesis 1:28; 2:7; 3:29; 1Corinthians 15:45.
We believe there is but one way for a person to be saved, or to get right with God, and that is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. A believer should be able to express, clearly, the facts regarding his personal salvation. John 4:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Peter 3:15.
We accept and consider important the miraculous birth of our Lord as recorded in Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1 and Luke 2, namely, that He was born of the virgin Mary. This manner of birth is true only of Jesus, the Son of God.
We believe the Communion Service is a memorial of the suffering and death of Christ. We believe it should be preceded by careful self-examination as to one’s faith and daily walk. Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.
We believe that those truly born again and thus a member of God’s family will be eternally saved. We do not believe that such a belief gives one license to sin. John 3:16; John 5:24; 1 John 5:13.
We believe that there is life beyond this present existence. We believe heaven will be a real place, for believers only. We believe the physical bodies of dead believers will literally be raised from the grave at the return of Christ. John 5:25-29; 1 Corinthians 15:22; John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
We believe in a literal Hell, prepared for the devil and his angels. We believe human beings not saved by faith in Jesus Christ will also be forever lost in Hell. We believe the bodies of the unbelievers will also be raised from the dead to suffer torment. Matthew 25:41-46; Revelation 20:11-15; Luke 13:3-5.
We believe the Bible teaches we should be exemplary citizens of our country and support our government. We believe we should pray for our government officials. Romans 13:1-17; 1 Timothy 2:1-3; Matthew 22:21.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ. We believe at this present time Christ is preparing a place for us and interceding for believers. We believe that Christ may return at any moment for His Church, and the resurrection of all believers from the dead. We believe that such a faith should result in the purity of life on the part of the believer. Matthew 28:1-7; 1 Corinthians 15:12-20; John 14:1-3; Hebrews 7:25; 1 Corinthians 15:52-53; 1 John 3:1-3.
We believe in water baptism for believers as taught in the New Testament. We believe such baptism is by immersion only and for believers only. Matthew 28:18-20; 3:13-17.
We believe the church should be supported by tithes and free will offerings. 2 Corinthians 9:7.
