Creation
Genesis 1:1 – Colossians 1:16 – Revelation 4:11
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in 6 literal days. The earth, the cosmos as we know it and the surrounding eons of existence were brought into being by the one, true and everlasting God.
Word of God
Hebrews 4:12
We believe that the Word of God is infallible and irrefutable. It possesses the power and authority to deliver any oppression and heal any sickness.
Sinfulness of Man
Romans 6:23 – Ecclesiastes 7:20 – Romans 5:12-14
Mankind is born in a fallen state; David said, “. . . in sin was I conceived.” The consequences of Adam’s actions have been far reaching. It is now incumbent upon us to respond to the grace provided by God.
Jesus
Deut 6:4 – Colossians 1:19 – Colossians 1:14-15 – Hebrews 10:5 – I Timothy 3:15-16
Jesus is God manifest in flesh; the image of the invisible God. God is a spirit and according to Jesus himself, a spirit hath not flesh and bones. Harmonizing with Acts 20:28, the Mighty God shed his blood, through the body that hung on the cross. Revelation 4:2 says, “. . . and one sat on the throne.” Jesus Christ is God come to earth as a man, to die for man’s sin.
Plan of Salvation
Hebrews 11:6 – Ephesians 2:8-9 – 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 – Acts 2:38
Salvation is made necessary by man’s inherited failure. Salvation is made possible only by the grace and mercy of God. Christ, God robed in flesh, shed his blood for the satisfaction of God’s redemptive economy. Accepting this sacrificial act on Calvary, as one’s personal propitiation, (1John 2:2) will in fact begin the salvation process. Obedience to the Gospel – Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ – is necessary for one to receive salvation.
The application of the Gospel must, of necessity, be made in our lives through an obedience to our personal death, burial and resurrection. Peter proclaimed this message in Acts 2:38. He preached a death by repentance, a burial by baptism in Jesus name and a resurrection by receiving the Holy Ghost and walking in newness of life.
Lifestyle
Colossians 1:13 – 2 Corinthians 6:17
We believe that we have been called out of darkness and into this marvelous light. Therefore we should show forth the praises of him that hath called us out of darkness. We believe that we, as Christians, should live a lifestyle that would be representative of God and His word.
Resurrection & Eternity
2 Peter 3:12 – 1Thessalonians 4:14-18
There is a day coming in which the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Before that day comes however there will be a catching away of the church, living and dead.
