Statement of Faith

The Holy Scriptures; both Old and New Testaments,
were written by holy men inspired by the Holy Spirit and are God's revealed Word to man.
They are the sufficient infallible rule and guide to salvation and all Christian worship and
service. (2 Peter 1:20, 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:15)

The
Eternal "I AM", the Creator of heaven and the earth, the Redeemer of mankind has chosen to reveal Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 43:11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22). The mode of His existence is a subject far above the understanding of man. He is the fountain of all perfection and happiness. He is glorified by the whole of creation and is worthy to be loved and served by all intelligence. He therefore is the only proper object of worship (Jeremiah 10:10; Exodus 3:14; 34:14; Psalm 19:1,2; 90:2; 145:10;150:6; Matthew 28:19-20)
man.

That God spoke into existence the world and all things that it
contains for His own pleasure, and enjoyment of His creatures (Revelation 4:11; Genesis 1:2;
John 1:3 Colossians 1:15, 17).

God created man in His image according to Genesis 1:26; as a triune being; consisting of the body, spirit, and soul (which is made up of; the mind, the will, and the emotions).

Our first parents; in their original state were upright. They desired to obey their creator, and no preference or desire to transgress His will until they were inveigled influenced and inclined by Satan to disobey God's commands. Before this, the only tendency of their nature was to do righteousness. In consequence of the first transgression, the state under which the posterity of Adam had after the fall, was that they struggled to obey God and were inclined to do evil. Hence, none, by virtue of any natural goodness and mere work of their own, can become the children of God (Genesis 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Psalm 51:5; Ecclesiastes 7:29; John 6:33; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 2:14)

That Jesus Christ, the Son of God and man was born miraculously of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31-35). That He lived a sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter
2:22). That He came into the world to save men from sin and damnation (John 3:16),
offering His blood as an atoning Sacrifice (1 Corinthians 15:4, 2 Corinthians 5:21) and
making salvation available to all who exercise faith in Him. In His bodily resurrection from the dead salvation (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4). In His exaltation to the right hand of the Father (Acts 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1-3). That His Divinity is proved from His
titles, His attributes, and His works (John 1:14; Luke 1:26-35; Acts 4:12; 16:31).

The creation; inspiration, giving life and satisfaction (1 Peter 1:21; 1 Peter 3:18;).

The scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit the attributes of an intelligent
being. He is God. He guides, knows, gives information, commands, forbids, sends forth,
reproves, as the instrumental segments of the Godhead in the liberal dispersion of Spiritual
gifts, and can be sinned against (Genesis 1:2; Mark 3:29; John 16:13; Acts 7:51; 10:19; 13:2; 1 Corinthians 2:11,12 and Eph. 4:30).

The grace of God, which brings salvation has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance towards God and faith towards the Lord, Jesus Christ. Man is saved by the washing, regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, he becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (John 10:34-36; 17:19, Romans 15:15-16; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Hebrews 2:11, 10:10, 10:14, 10:29; Jude 1:1).

through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain the remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1,2; 11:5,6).

The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of love, one to another, of righteousness and true holiness demonstrated by the fruit of the Spirit. (John 13:35; Eph. 4:24; Gal. 5:22, 23;).

The ordinance of baptism is the burial with Christ as Savior and Lord. The method of baptism will be by water immersion in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the baptized Christian has declared to the world that they have died with Jesus, and they have also been raised with Him to new life. It is a public profession of faith. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 8:36-39).

Consisting of bread and the juice of the vine, which is the symbol expressing the sharing of the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ; a memorial of His
suffering and death, and the prophesying His second coming. It is enjoined on all believers "until He comes" (John 6:48,51,53-57; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30).
