OUR BELIEFS
OUR BELIEFS
JESUS CHRIST
JESUS IS GOD THE SON, THE SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY. ON EARTH, JESUS WAS 100% GOD AND 100% MAN. HE’S THE ONLY MAN EVER TO HAVE LIVED A SINLESS LIFE. HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN, LIVED A SINLESS LIFE, PERFORMED MIRACLES, DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MANKIND AND THUS ATONED FOR OUR SINS THROUGH THE SHEDDING OF HIS BLOOD. HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, AND HE ASCENDED TO THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, AND WILL RETURN IN POWER AND GLORY.
THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD
THE HOLY BIBLE, AND THE ONLY BIBLE, IS THE AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD. IT ALONE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN DETERMINING ALL DOCTRINAL TRUTH. IN ITS ORIGINAL WRITING, IT IS INSPIRED, INFALLIBLE, AND INERRANT.
THE TRINITY
THERE IS ONE GOD, ETERNALLY EXISTENT IN THREE PERSONS: THE FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THESE THREE ARE EQUAL AND ARE ONE.
SALVATION
WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION. SALVATION IS A GIFT FROM GOD, NOT A RESULT OF OUR GOOD WORKS OR ANY HUMAN EFFORTS. IT CANNOT BE EARNED AND IT CANNOT BE DESERVED. IT IS SOLELY AND COMPLETELY A RESULT OF THE COMPLETED WORK OF THE CROSS ACCESSED THROUGH FAITH.
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
GIVEN ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST, IT IS THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER, SENT BY JESUS AFTER HIS ASCENSION, TO EMPOWER THE CHURCH TO PREACH THE GOSPEL THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH. WE BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY. HE IS THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD, ALIVE ON THE EARTH TODAY. HE IS OUR PROMISE, OUR GUARANTEE, OUR COMFORTER, AND OUR ONLY HOPE. HE LEADS AND GUIDES US TO ALL TRUTH AND IS AVAILABLE TO EVERY BELIEVER.
THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MANIFESTED THROUGH A VARIETY OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS TO BUILD AND SANCTIFY THE CHURCH, DEMONSTRATE VALIDITY OF THE RESURRECTION, AND CONFIRM THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL. WE BELIEVE THAT ALL THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT ARE FOR TODAY AND HAVE NOT CEASED. ALL BELIEVERS ARE COMMANDED TO EARNESTLY DESIRE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE GIFTS IN THEIR LIVES. THESE GIFTS ALWAYS OPERATE IN HARMONY WITH THE SCRIPTURES AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN VIOLATION OF THE BIBLICAL PARAMETERS. IF IT’S ON THE MENU, WE WANT IT.
MIRACLES ARE FOR TODAY
WE BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD REMAINS TRUE, GOD’S CHARACTER DOESN’T CHANGE, THE GREAT COMMISSION STILL APPLIES TO US, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS LOST NONE OF ITS POWER. THE POWER OF GOD IS STILL AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TODAY.
