- THE BIBLE
We believe that the whole
Bible, consisting of sixty-six books of the Old and
New Testaments, is the verbally and plenarily
inspired Word of God, and inerrant in the original
writings, trustworthy in all that it affirms,
whether in historical, scientific, or moral matters.
The Bible is the supreme and final authority in
faith and life. We believe God has preserved His
Word and that the Bible we have today is the very
Word of God. Furthermore, we believe the authorized
King James Version is the most suitable and reliable
English translation.
(II Tim. 3:16; II Peter 1:21; Ps. 119:89; Mark
13:31)
- GOD – THE TRINITY
We believe in one triune God,
eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son
and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19; I John 5:7). We
believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, that
He is true God, and true man, and the only mediator
between God and man. He is "God manifest in the
flesh" (I Tim. 3:16). We believe in His sinless
life, vicarious death, bodily resurrection, and
pretribulational and premillennial return.
(Matt. 1:21-23; Acts 1:11; I Tim. 2:5)
We believe the Holy Spirit is a
divine Person who is co-eternal and co-equal with
God. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness,
and judgment; regenerates all who believe on Christ;
baptizes all who are saved into the body of Christ
at conversion; and that He seals, indwells, fills,
teaches, endues, guides, helps, and sanctifies the
believer. We reject the modern day "charismatic
movement."
(John 3:3-8; 16:8-14; Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 2:10; 6:19;
13:8-10; Eph. 5:18).
- SALVATION
We believe all men are dead in
their trespasses and sins, guilty, lost and
absolutely incapable of saving themselves by their
own efforts. They are under the judgment of God and
are without excuse. We believe that in order to be
saved, man must repent of sin, turn to Christ, and
receive Him as Lord and Saviour. We believe that we
are saved solely by grace, through faith in Christ’s
finished work on the cross. Furthermore, we believe
in the eternal security of the saved and the eternal
punishment of those who reject Christ.
(John 3:16-18; 3:36; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8, 9)
- THE LOCAL CHURCH
We believe that the local New
Testament Church is the agency through which God has
chosen to accomplish His work in this dispensation
of grace; that it is an organized congregation of
regenerate, immersed believers, voluntarily united
together for the purpose of worship, edification,
observing the ordinances, fellowship and service;
that the true mission of the church is world
evangelization – the fulfillment of the Great
Commission. We believe the local church should be
independent, autonomous, and free from any outside
interference or external hierarchy.
