1) We believe in one God who is eternally existent in the
Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. God is the
Creator of heaven and earth.
2) We believe Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. He
was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
was crucified, died, buried, was resurrected; He
ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right
hand of the Father. Jesus is truly God and truly man. We
believe in His personal return to the earth to receive His
Bride – the Church.
3) We believe in the present-day work of the Holy Spirit
in and through born again believers. We receive the
power of God through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We
believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, in speaking in
tongues, in the gifts of the Spirit, and in the evidence of
the fruits of the Spirit.
4) We believe in salvation by grace through faith in the
shed blood of Jesus Christ and in the forgiveness of
sins.
5) We believe in sanctification through the Word of God
and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal
holiness and in purity of heart and life.
6) We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is
without error and fully sufficient in all matters of life and
godliness.
7) We believe in and practice the two ordinances of the
Church: water baptism and Holy Communion.
8) We believe that all born again believers comprise the
Church of Jesus Christ.
9) We believe in the Covenant of God established
through Abraham and completed through Jesus Christ
for all who have been born again. We accept the benefits
and responsibilities given by God to His covenant
people as valid for the present-day Church.
10) We believe in eternal rewards. Those who have
received the gift of salvation through Christ Jesus will
enjoy eternal bliss in the presence of the Lord; those
who have rejected the free gift of salvation offered by
God will spend eternity in torment and separated from
God.
