First last and foremost, we confess and
acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in flesh: "This is how you can know the
Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh
belongs to God." (1 John 4:3)
|
 |
We believe in one God, the creator of all
things, eternal, infinite, perfect, and manifested in three persons as the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-3; Isaiah 44:6-8; Matt. 28:19; Mark
12:29; Dt. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10).
|
 |
We confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior
and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. We
believe the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of
God. The primary purpose of the Scriptures is to lead to faith in Jesus and
salvation in His name. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; John
5:39-40; Hebrews 4:12).
|
 |
We believe Jesus Christ was God manifested in the flesh,
true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary
(Isaiah 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Isaiah 9:6)
|
 |
We believe in His sinless life, His
miraculous ministry, His substitutionary death on the cross as atonement for our
sins, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into heaven to
serve as our intercessor before the Father (John 1:14; Hebrews 7:25,26)
|
 |
We
believe in salvation through the blood of Jesus. Man was created good but by
voluntary transgression fell, and his hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ (
Rom. 3:23; Rom. 10:13-15; Eph. 2:8; John 3:3-8; 1 John 1:7-9).
|
 |
We believe in the
baptism in the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is a gift from God,
promised by Christ to all believers (Acts 2:38,39; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 15:8,9)
|
 |
We
believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Rom. 8:3-4; 1 Thes. 5:23; Heb.
12:14; 1 Pet. 1:14-16; 1 John 2:6; 3:3
|
 |
We believe in the power of prayer.
|
 |
We
believe in divine healing and prayer for the sick. Deliverance from sickness was
provided in the atonement. (John 14:13; Isaiah 53:4-5; Matt. 8:16,17; Mark
16:18; John 5:14; James 5:14,15)
|
 |
We believe in the blessed hope and return of
Christ. The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep together with those who
are alive and remain, is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church. (1 Thes.
4:16; Rom. 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51,52) |
