Statement of Faith

  

  We believe that the Bible as contained in the Old and New Testament are directly inspired by God and are completely without error as found in the Authorized Version. It's authority is not limited to spiritual or religious themes but includes it's assertions in such areas as history and science.

Psalms 12:6 & 7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Psalms 119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

 

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, namely: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God (Elohlym = plural usage of God meaning more than one in union) created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

 

We believe in the deity and virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His sinless life, in His vicarious (took our place) and atoning death through his blood upon the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

John 1:1 - 3 & 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was mad.... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ...
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

 

We believe in the total depravity and lost condition of man by nature, and in his need of the new birth by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

We believe in justification by faith apart from the works of the law.

Ephesians 2:8 & 9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling presence, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

  

We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost - the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Revelation 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

We believe that the institution of marriage is a covenant given by God between a man and woman only to be separated by death as recorded in the Holy Scriptures.

Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Ephesians 5:21-26 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
