What We Believe
We believe in ONE GOD, and that He alone is God. That.He is eternal, invisible, infinite in wisdom, goodness, mercy, love, grace, and power. He is Maker of Heaven and earth and that as God. He is triune, being revealed as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son of God
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the second person in the Godhead, co-equal and coexistent, with the Father, and the Holy Ghost. We further believe in the fullness of time He was made manifested in the flesh, incarnated by the power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third Person in the triune Godhead; and that He is ever present and active in the Church of Christ challenging and regenerating those who believe in Jesus Christ; dwelling in, sanctifying, teaching, and comforting believers and guiding them into all truth as it is in Christ Jesus and empowering them to witness.
The Holy Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible is composed of sixty-six books, known as the Old and New Testaments, and that said books contain the eternal inerrant word of God. We believe that the Bible was written by holy men as they were moved by the Holy Ghost and that it contains all necessary truth pertaining to salvation and to Christian living.
Original Sin
1. We believe that original sin is the corruption of the nature of all offspring of Adam by which they are separated from original righteousness and made sinners by nature, and that it is referred to in the scriptures as, the carnal mind; the flesh; sin that dwelleth in me; and such like.
2. We believe that original sin prevents man from entering into the presence of God and makes man unfit for the service of God and to keep God’s holy law.
3. We believe that original sin cannot be overcome by mere force of human will, nor by mental culture but must be eradicated by the Holy Spirit through the blood of Jesus Christ.
4. We believe that original sin brings every man under the penalty of death and makes man by nature a child of wrath, and that only Christ can deliver from the penalty of death and restore man to divine favor and give everlasting life.
Atonement
We believe that atonement made by Jesus Christ through the shedding of His blood for the remission of sins is for the whole human race; whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
Repentance
We believe that repentance is a sincere change of the mind involving a sense of personal guilt of sin and a turning away from sin to righteousness; and that the penitent heart is graciously helped and pardoned by the spirit of God.
Justification
We believe that justification is God’s judicial work done for man, whereby full pardon is granted to all who repent, believe, and receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, exonerating him from the guilt of sin.
We believe that regeneration is a spiritual transformation wrought in the heart of the penitent by the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the word of God, renewing him in the spirit of his mind and that no accountable person may enter into the kingdom of God without having this experience.
We further believe that regeneration is manifested by victory over the world and sin, and by regulating one’s relationship with all men according to the will of God, having the heart filled with divine love.
