We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Scriptures which are inerrant in the original autographs, and that they are the supreme, sufficient and final authority in faith and life. We believe in one God — eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, existing as three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one in nature, attributes, power, and glory. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true Man. We believe the Holy Spirit is the person of the Godhead who in this present age convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, who regenerates and baptizes into the body of Christ those who believe, and who indwells and seals them unto the day of redemption. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth including all life, each after its own species, by direct act and not by the process of evolution We believe that man was created perfect in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual and eternal death, which is separation from God, We believe that all who exercise personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are by grace born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God and are now justified by the blood of Christ, and that from that moment of belief are secured unto the day of redemption. We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is composed solely of believers, and is the Body and Bride of our Lord. The purpose of the local church is to glorify God by building itself up in the faith, by instruction of the Word, by fellowship, by keeping the ordinances and by advancing and communicating the gospel to the entire world. We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust, the eternal conscious blessedness of the believer in heaven with the Lord and the everlasting conscious punishment of the unbeliever in the lake of fire with the devil and his angels. We believe that the holiness of God demands that separation is a doctrine as well as a practice, and that the separation principle runs through the entire Bible. We believe that true spiritual fellowship is the result of common faith and practice We believe that missions is the obedience of churches and individuals to Christ's Great Commission. This divine mandate is carried out when local, reproducing churches are established in different countries, and this command is fulfilled when these churches accept their own responsibility for world wide evangelism. |
