We do not believe there is any need to revise, update, correct, better explain or change in any way the present KJV Bible. It is the complete and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Psalm 12:6-7; II Timothy 3:16-17; ii Peter 1:19-21
1. GOD THE FATHER:
We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness,
boundless in love. Infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We
believe that
he concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that he hears
and
answers prayers, and that He saves from sin and death all who come
to Him
through Jesus Christ, His Son. Genesis 1:1; I John 5:7; Matthew
28:19
2. GOD THE SON: We believe in Jesus Christ; that He is God the Son,
was
Pre-existent with the Father, begotten of
the Holy Spirit, and born
of the
virgin Mary. We believe in His sinless nature and life, that He is
infallible in His teaching, and that He made atonement for the sins of
the
world by His substitutionary death on the cross. We believe in His
bodily
resurrection, His ascension into Heaven, His perpetual
intercession for His people, and His glorious second advent according
to the promise. We believe that the
promise of His second coming
includes first, the blessed hope of the believer; namely the personal,
pre-millennial and pre-tribulation return of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ,
to rapture His church according to I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Second,
we believe in His return with His saints to set up His
Millennial reign Romans3:24-26; I Peter 1:18-21
3. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT:
We believe in the deity and personality of
the Holy Spirit. We believe that He came from God to: convince
and
convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment; and to
regenerate, sanctify, indwell, comfort, and empower those who have
believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. John 16:7-13; Romans 8:16
C. MAN: We believe that man was created in the
image of God, that he sinned,
and thereby incurred not only the
physical death, but also the spiritual death,
which is separation from God. We believe that all human beings are born with
a sinful nature, totally depraved and in the case of those who reach moral
responsibility,
become sinners in thought and deed by choice. Genesis 1:26; Romans 3:23;
5:12
D. SATAN: We believe in the reality and personality of
Satan, the father of all liars,
a deceiver and accuser of the
saints. Isaiah 14:12-17; John 8:44; I Peter 5:8; Job 1:6-12
E. SALVATION: We believe that salvation of
sinful men is wholly by God’s grace
and not by man’s work. We believe that Jesus
Christ came into the world to make
full atonement for sinners by His shed blood,
vicarious death on the cross, bodily
resurrection from the grave, and ascension into
Heaven again to intercede for
believers. We believe that man must personally
repent of his sins and accept Jesus
Christ as his personal Lord and Savior to
receive the free gift of eternal life and
power over sin. We believe that repentance is a
change of mind and purpose
toward God prompted by the Holy Spirit and that
it is characterized by godly
sorrow for sin as offensive to God and ruinous
to the soul. We believe that there is
that man can only be saved once, and once saved
you are always saved. We
believe that there is on other way of salvation
for sinful man. Romans 10: 9-13;
John 1:12-13; 10:27-30; I John 5:13; I Peter
l:5; Titus 3:5
F. THE CHURCH: We believe that the church is a
congregation of saved, baptized
Believers associated by a covenant
of faith and fellowship of the Gospel. We
Believe the church meets together
to observe the ordinances of Christ; for worship,
prayer, fellowship, teaching;
to present a united testimony, and actively engage in carrying
out the Great
Commission. We believe that Christ is the one and only Head of the church
and
that on all matters of membership, policy, government, discipline, and
benevolence,
the will of the local church is final. Acts 2:41-42; I Corinthians
ll:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18
G. HEAVEN & HELL: We believe that heaven and hell
are literal, eternal places
prepared by God. We believe that
every person has a soul of eternal duration. We
believe that heaven is a place
of eternal joy and happiness for those who are saved. We believe
that those who
refuse God’s grace and remain in their lost condition shall abide in hell
until
the Great White Throne Judgment, after which they shall be cast into the late of
fire.
Revelation 20:11-15
H. ASSURANCE: We believe in the eternal security of the believer. John 10:27-29; I John 5:13
I. CHURCH & STATE: We believe that every human
being has direct relations with
God and is responsible to God alone in all
matters of faith. We believe that each church
is independent and
autonomous. We believe that the church and state must be kept separate
as
each has different functions, and that each must fulfill its duties free
from the dictates and
patronage of the other. Matthew 22:21; Romans 13:1-7
J. CHRISTIAN LIVING: We believe that every saved person
should manifest the Christian
life in a consistent walk in the Holy Spirit,
fully and constantly yielding his members to the
indwelling Christ. We
believe that in so doing, he must always be in life and word showing forth
the praises of Him who has called him out of darkness into His marvelous
life. We believe in a separate
life for al believers as set forth in II
Corinthians 6:14; 7:1. We believe this includes separation from
unequally
yoked marriages, worldly alliances, pleasures, methods of work, societies,
etc. James 4:4
