What we Believe...
We
believe in the unity of the body of Christ, according to our Lord Jesus’ prayer in John 17:21 and Ps. 133:1.
We
believe Christians should walk in, and minister, the love of God, and that faith will not work without the love of God.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1 John 5:6--8).
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory at God's appointed time (1 Cor. 15:3-4; I Peter 2:18-24; John 3:16).
We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Romans 3:21--30; Gal. 4:4--7).
We believe that the full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44--46; Acts 19:2; Acts 19:6; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42-43; Matt. 3:11).
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that some are saved unto the resurrection of life; and that some are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:24, 28-29).
We
believe that deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers (Isa. 53:4; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:18; John 5:6-14; 1 Peter 2:24).
We
believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 4:13--18; Rev. 22:20; John 14:3).
