WE BELIEVE
...................................................................................................
We Believe God is a personal, eternal, loving God. He is all wise, all present, and all-powerful. He is the soleCreator, Ruler, and Redeemer of the universe.
(John 3:16; Proverbs 1:7, 9:10; Hebrews 4:13; Matthew 10:29-30; Proverbs 15:3; Psalm 147:5; Psalm 100;Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 40:18; Hebrews 11:6; John 4:24; Acts 17:27-28; Psalm 139:7-10; Psalm 115:3; Revelatino 19:6;Luke 1:37; Exodus 34:6; Psalm 34:8; Jeremiah 9:24; Psalm 85:9; Psalm 145:17; 1 Timothy 2:3; Psalm 53:2; 2 Peter 3:9.)
We Belive that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. He came to earth from heaven through the virgin birthto ultimately save people from the penalty and eternal destruction of their sins, by suffering death on thecross as a payment for their sins and rising from the grave to give all believers a new, eternal life with God.We also believe that Jesus will one day return to earth and reignforever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8)
We believe the Holy Spirit is God, in Spirit, who indwells all believers for the purpose of comforting them in life's trying circumstances; continually leading them into a growing relationship with God, the Father; empowering(gifting) all believers with special abilities that help the Lord's Church experience growth and maturity.
(John 14:16-17; Acts2:37-41; Romans 6:13,19; 8:8-17,26; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Galations 5:16-25;1 Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30; 5:18; 1 John 3:24; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; Ephesians 1:15-23)
We believe the Bible is completely inspired by God and is the means by which his Holy Spirit leads seekersto a saving knowledge and faith in Jesus Christ; and the Bible alone should be the sole rule of faith and practiceof the church.
(Psalm 138:2; 2 Peter 1:16-21; Romans 10:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1-11; 2 Peter 1:10-18;1 Peter 1:22-2:3; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-15; James 1:21-27)
We believe that Satan is an evil being, whose mission in the world is to destroy the souls if every person possible,so that they may suffer eternity in hell along with him.
(John 8:44; Revelation 12:9; Genesis 3:1; Matthew 4:1-3; 1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 2:2; Ephesians 6:11; Matthew 25:41-46)
We believe that sin separates man from God, and that the only cure for sin is redemption through the blood ofJesus Christ.
(Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 John 3:4; Ephesians 2:3-4; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; 1 John 1:6-2:2; Ephesians 1:7)
We believe that every person accepting Jesus, as Savior should:
- believe in Jesus as God's Son, who came from eternity and took on flesh, that he might die onthe cross paying the price of the sins of the world, and he rose from the dead to give eternal life (John 3:16; Romans 5:1; Romans 10:9-10)
- repent of their sins -- turn away from the sins that stand between them and God, and turn toJesus for forgiveness of sin (Luke 13:5; Acts 2:38; 2 Peter 3:9)
- confess their faith in Christ as God's Son (Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 10:32)
- be immersed in water in the name of Christ for the removal of sin and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4-7; 1 Peter 3:21; Acts 22:16)
