Along with
regularly affirming the Apostle’s
Creed, the members of this assembly also embrace these beliefs as those
truths which all Christians do not deny:
We believe
in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and
having the same attributes and perfections.
We believe
the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant Word of God, the final authority for
faith and practice.
We believe
that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his
substitutionary death on the cross; our salvation is made sure by his literal
physical resurrection from the grave.
We believe
that man was created in innocence, but fell in Adam, and is now totally unable
to remedy his lost condition.
We believe
that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by
personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe
in the eternal salvation of the believer and the eternal judgment of all who
reject Jesus Christ.
We believe
the Holy Spirit is the Divine Teacher who guides believers into truth; and,
that He is the supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing believers into the
Body of Christ, indwelling, and sealing them until the day of redemption.
We believe
that the Church is a spiritual organism made up of all born again persons of
this present age. We believe that the establishment of local churches is
clearly taught and defined in Scripture.
We believe
in the resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to
judgment.
We believe
in the personal coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for his redeemed ones.
