What We Believe
|
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, where He now sits making intercession for us. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and by whose presence the world is convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is authoritative and infallible in its original writings. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that he sinned, thereby incurring not only physical death, but also spiritual death, or separation from God. We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures—that He, as the representative and sacrifice for sin, obtained redemption by the shedding of His blood for all who believe in Him. |
