Our Commitment
of Faith
We believe the
Holy
Bible to be the only infallible, inspired authoritative Word of God. II Timothy
3:15-16, II Peter 1:20-21
We believe in God eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. I John 5:7-8, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Mathew 28:19, II Corinthians 13:14
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is truly God and truly man. Romans
5:8, Galatians 1:4
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God; that mankind sinned
and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which
is
separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature. Genesis
1:26, Romans 5:12, Ephesians 2:1
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures
as a representative, substitutionary and complete sacrifice; and that all who
believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. Romans 5:8,
Galatians 1:4
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the
Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, and that the salvation is received by grace
through faith in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord and not as a result of good
works. Titus 3:5, Eph. 2:8-9
We believe in the physical resurrection of the crucified body of Jesus Christ,
in His ascension into heaven, and His present life there for us as our High Priest
and Advocate. Hebrews 1:3, 4:15-16, I John 2:1
We believe in the personal, visible and second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
at a time unknown to us, but for which we are watching joyfully. I Corinthians
15:51, I Thessalonians 4:13-18
We believe that the believer should be a vessel sanctified, meet (fitting or
proper) for the master’s use. II Timothy 2:21, I Thessalonians 4:3
We believe in the great commission which our Lord has given to His church to
evangelize the world, and that this evangelization is the great mission of the
church. Furthermore, we believe it our Christian duty to witness by word and
deed to these truths. Mathew 28:19-20, II Corinthians 5:11
