NOTE of INTRODUCTION: These declared positions are not exhaustive in nature, but hopefully they sufficiently represent our position on the following doctrines of the Word of God.
BIBLIOLOGY
- We believe that the Bible, which is the 66 books comprising the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, and that it is the complete revelation of God to man.
- We believe God’s Word is the verbal, plenary, completely inspired revelation to man and is inerrant and infallible throughout in the Original Writings.
- We believe the Massoretic Hebrew Text for the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus for the New Testament are the closest to the Original Manuscripts. Therefore, we strongly recommend the King James Version because it is an accurate, faithful, preserved, and reliable translation, which reflects these traditional texts.
THEOLOGY
- We believe in one God eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; each being coequal, coeternal, and coexistent with the other.
- We believe all three were active in the creation of our universe, having created the universe, visible and invisible, in six literal, twenty-
four- hour days, beginning with no pre- existing materials.
CHRISTOLOGY
- We believe in the pre-
existence of Christ. - We believe Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary.
- We believe Jesus Christ became the substitutionary atonement for our sins and the sins of all mankind through His voluntary sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary providing salvation for every sinner who believes.
PNEUMATOLOGY
- We believe the Holy Spirit is a Person as opposed to a force or influence, because He clearly evidences the characteristics of intellect, emotion, and will.
- We believe the Holy Spirit is necessary in salvation because He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment; and because He regenerates the unbeliever, and indwells, seals, fills, guides, illumines, and assures the believer.
- We believe the Holy Spirit imparts spiritual gifts to believers for the edification of the body of Christ.
ANTHROPOLOGY
- We believe man was created in the image and likeness of God on the sixth day of creation when God breathed the breath of life into him.
- We believe man is a tripartite creature, consisting of body, soul, and spirit.
HAMARTIOLOGY
- We believe all sin is rebellion (lawlessness) against God.
- We believe Adam was created with a will that was capable of choosing either obedience or disobedience towards God; and, therefore, he willfully chose to sin, and thus originated a sin nature that has passed on to all human beings.
- We believe the sin of Adam resulted immediately in spiritual death and separation from God and subsequently in physical death.
- We believe the wages of sin is death (both physical and spiritual), and all unbelieving men are dead in sin, so all are deserving of eternal death in the Lake of Fire.
ANGELOLOGY
- We believe God created and innumerable host of angels as servants to magnify, worship, and praise God, and to do God’s will.
HELL
- We believe in a literal and genuine place for the damned called Hell.
HEAVEN
- We believe in an eternal Heaven for the saved.
- We believe there are three heavens: the atmosphere, the galaxies, and paradise where God is.
SOTERIOLOGY
- We believe salvation was made possible by Christ’s shedding of His blood in His sacrificial death for all mankind on the cross of Calvary. However, this salvation is applied only to those who personally repent and receive Jesus as Savior.
- We believe man is a free moral agent, and God does not refuse salvation to any who come to Him.
ECCLESIOLOGY
- We believe the church is a New Testament institution in the form of either an actual local assembly of believes, or the future gathering of all New Testament saints in Heaven. The local church is a visible assembly of immersed believers assembled in common faith and fellowship for the purpose of observing the two ordinances and carrying out the Great Commission.
- We believe the membership of the local church is restricted to immersed believers.
- We believe the Great Commission outlines the church’s method of self-
propagation through evangelism, baptism, and training. - We believe baptism is immersion of the believe into water. It symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, the believers death to the old life and subsequent resurrection to newness of life.
ESCHATOLOGY
- We believe in the imminent return of Christ, known as the rapture. This return for believers will be pre-
tribulational and pre- millennial, resulting in the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the translation of living believers into the presence of the Lord. - We believe that, following the rapture, all believers will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ according to their works following salvation. We believe there will be both rewards and the lack of rewards based on faithfulness in the Christian life.
- We believe the Marriage of the Lamb to His bride follows the Bema of Christ.
- We believe Christ’s return will terminate the Tribulation when He defeats the Earth’s armies at Armageddon, judges the Nations and sets up His Kingdom.
- We believe the Millennial reign of Christ will demonstrate His victorious rule over man on Earth. It will be a time of great blessing, and Satan will be bound. However, Satan will be loosed at the end of the Millennium for his final rebellion. Upon being defeated, he will be cast into the Lake of Fire with those who stand before the Great White Throne.
- We believe God will then create the New Heavens and Earth, with the saved living in the presence of God forever.
