Frequently asked questions
THE BIBLE
We believe in the inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments by the Holy Spirit as originally given; they are the final authority for our faith and life. (II Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
GOD
We believe in one God revealed in three, distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19-20; Ephesians 2:18), operating under the headship of the Father (1 Cor. 11:3).
JESUS
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who by His incarnation and virgin birth took upon Himself the form of man and became the God-Man. In the one person of Christ, there are two natures, human and divine, each in its completeness and integrity. They are distinguishable but indivisible, so that He is fully man and fully God. He lived a sinless life and became the only sacrifice for the sins of the world. After His death on the cross we believe the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. (Ephesians 1:3-5; Romans 5:1-11; Acts 12:4; I Peter 1:18-19, Luke 24:38-43; John 20:24-29)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third Person of the Godhead who is active in the world today. The Spirit indwells and seals the believer at new birth. We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a subsequent experience and is available to all Christians to empower us to be witnesses. We believe in, and encourage, the use of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the continuing in-filling of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 8:14-17; Acts 10:44-46; Ephesians 5:18)
MAN
We believe that man in his natural state is a sinner, lost, undone, without hope and without God. (Ephesians 2:1-2; Romans 3:23)
SALVATION
We believe the terms of salvation are repentance towards God for sin and a personal heart-felt faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which results in regeneration. This salvation is entirely by grace alone (not by works), through faith alone and in Christ alone. (Ephesians 2:6-10; Romans 5:1; Acts 3:19-20)
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
We believe that the Kingdom of God will be established on the earth by God through His Church prior to the return of Jesus. (Psalm 110:1; Daniel 2:34-35; Isaiah 9:6- 7; Daniel 7:13-4)
SECOND COMING
We believe in the visible, bodily return of Christ to this earth to judge the world and to claim His Bride. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Acts 1:10-11)
HEAVEN AND HELL
We believe in the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss and service for the saved; hell for the unsaved and heaven for the saved. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:11-15)
THE CHURCH
We believe the church is Christ’s spiritual body on earth today. It consists of born-again believers. (Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28)
MARRIAGE
We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single exclusive union. (Genesis 2:18-25)
ORDINANCES
We believe the believer’s Water Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of the church and should be practiced regularly. (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-10; I Corinthians 10:16-21)
FINAL AUTHORITY
This brief statement of faith does not exhaust our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired, infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
