Statement of Faith

SECTION A -- OF THE SCRIPTURES

We believe the Bible was written by holy men of God supernaturally inspired by God; inerrant in the original writings: the Old Testament (Hebrew) & the New Testament (Koine Greek - fondly called the Textus Receptus), preserved to this day by His omnipotence, we have God's preserved Word in the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. These Scriptures, from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, are totally and completely without any admixture of error! Truth in its entirety, it provides salvation for sinful man and is the supreme authority by which all human conduct and creeds shall be tried.

Deut. 18:19; Psa. 12:6,7; 119:105; 119:130,160; 138:2; Pro. 13:13; Hos. 4:6; Matt. 5:18; Luke 24:44-45; John 12:48; 17:17; Acts 1:16; Rom. 3:4; II Tim. 3:16-17; I Pet. 1:23-25; II Pet. 1:19-21; Rev. 22:19.

SECTION B -- OF THE GODHEAD

We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

Gen. 17:1; Psa. 83:18; 90:2; Jer. 10:10; Matt. 28:19; Mark 12:30; John 15:26; Rom. 11:33; Eph. 2:18; Phil. 2:5-6; I Tim. 1:17; I John 5:7.

A. GOD THE FATHER:

We believe in one triune God, Holy in person, just in judgment, merciful to the repentant, and worthy of all worship and praise. Desiring that those that worship Him do so in spirit and in truth. His counsel shall forever stand, and the good pleasure of His will shall be accomplished, conforming believers into the image of His only Begotten Son and reserving the unjust for the day of judgment.

John 4:24; I John 5:7; Isa. 46:10; Rom. 8:29; Eph. 1:5; I Pet. 1:16; Psa. 89:14; Isa. 9:7; 45:21; Zeph. 3:5; John 5:30; Rom. 3:26; Rev.15:3.

B. THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST:

We believe in the deity, pre-existence, virgin born, sinless perfection, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven of Jesus Christ. He presently intercedes for the redeemed as our High Priest and Advocate. Equal with God, He is the Son of God, and God the Son. Saviour of sinners by His shed blood, He is The Eternal Word of God, LORD of Lords, and KING of kings, who shall in the days appointed judge the deeds of all men.

Dan. 7:13,14; John 1:1; Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:35; John 1:29; 5:22; Acts 1:22; Rom. 3:25-26; 5:8; I Cor. 15:1-8; Eph. 1:7; Phil. 2:8-11; I Tim. 2:5; Heb. 1:5,8,9; 4:15; 7:25; 9:24; I Pet. 1:18-21; 2:24; 3:18; I John 2:1, Psa. 110:4; Rev.19:13,16.

C. THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. As the third person of the Trinity, He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment; that He is the supernatural agent in regeneration, indwelling and sealing believers, He endues, witnesses to, sanctifies, and helps the believer, unto the day of redemption; that He is the divine teacher who guides believers into all truth; and that it is the privilege and duty of all saved to be continually filled and lead by God the Holy Spirit.

John 14:16,17; 16:7-11; Rom. 8:9,26,27; II Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:30; 5:18,19; Titus 3:5; I John 5:7.
