The Scriptures
(2 Timothy 3:15-17)
• We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction.
The True God
(John 4:23-24; Matthew 28:19)
• We believe that there is only one true God.
• He is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature.
The Fall of Man
(Genesis 1:27, 3:6-24; Romans 5:19)
• We believe that man was created by God in a state of holiness but through the temptation of Satan, he transgressed the command of God by free choice and fell from his original state.
The Way of Salvation
(Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 3:16)
• We believe that salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered to all through the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• Salvation includes regeneration, sanctification and glorification.
Justification
(Romans 5:1, 2; Acts 13:38-39)
• We believe that justification is God’s gracious and full acquittal upon principles of righteousness of all sinners who believe in Christ.
The Freeness of Salvation
(Romans 1:16, 3:24, 6:23, 10:13; Ephesians 2:8-9)
• We believe that the blessings of salvation are made free to all.
Grace in Regeneration
(John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
• We believe that regeneration or the new birth is a change of heart brought by the Holy Spirit.
Repentance and Faith
(Mark 1:14-15; John 16:18)
• We believe that repentance and faith are sacred duties, wrought in our souls by the Spirit of God.
Sanctification
(1 Peter 1:2; I Thessalonians 5:23-24)
• We believe that sanctification is the process by which we are made partakers of His holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
The Perseverance of the Saints
(John 8:31; I John 2:19; John 6:39, 10:28-29; Ephesians 4:30)
• We believe that such only are real believers as endure until the end.
• They are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
(Acts 8:36-39; I Corinthians 11:23-26)
• We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer.
• The Lord’s Supper is the commemoration of the death of the Lord Jesus, preceded by solemn self-examination.
The Resurrection
(Matthew 20:17-19, 28:6-7; John 5:28-29)
• We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus rose from the dead. He now exists in His glorified body at God’s right hand.
• There will be a resurrection of the righteous and the wicked.
• The bodies of the righteous will conform to the glorious spiritual body of Jesus Christ
