We Believe in:
- The Bible: We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God.
- God: We believe there is one living and true God, revealed in nature as the Creator, Preserver and Righteous Governor of the Universe.
- Christ: Christ is God manifest in the flesh in His divine nature truly God, in His human nature truly man. The mediator between God and man, once crucified, He is now risen and glorified and is our ever present Savior and Lord.
- The Holy Spirit: The Scriptures assign to the Holy Spirit all the attributes of God.
- The Government of God: God exercises a wise and benevolent providence over all beings and things by maintaining the constitution and laws of nature.
- The Sinfulness of Man: Man was created innocent but by disobedience fell into a state of sin and condemnation. Therefore, he inherits a fallen nature of such tendencies that all who come to years of accountability, sin and become guilty before God.
- The Work of Christ: Jesus was crucified, died, was buried and rose again from the dead in order to provide a way into the presence of God for us.
- The Terms of Salvation: The conditions of salvation are: (a) Repentance or sincere sorrow for sin (b) Faith or the committal of one's self to Christ as Savior and Lord. In the exercise of saving faith, the soul is renewed by the Holy Spirit, freed from the dominion of sin, and becomes a child of God. (c) Continuance in faith and obedience until death.
- Election: God determined from the beginning to save all who should comply with the conditions of salvation. Hence, by faith in Christ, men become His elect.
- Freedom of the Will: The human will is free and self-controlled having power to yield to the influence of the truth and the Spirit or to resist them and perish.
- Salvation Free: God desires the salvation of all; The Gospel invites all; the Holy Spirit strives with all; and whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely.
- Perseverance: All believers in Christ, who through grace persevere in holiness to the end of life, have promise of eternal salvation.
- Resurrection, Judgment, and Final Retribution: The Scriptures teach the resurrection of all men at the last day. They that have saving faith in Christ will come forth to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil into the resurrection of damnation; then the wicked will "go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
