What We Believe

![]() |
About the Scriptures: We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. We further accept the Textus Receptus manuscripts from which came the King James Bible, and accept the King James Bible as God's divinely preserved Word of God for the English speaking world. About the Trinity:We believe that God is a person, eternally existing
as a Trinity, manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We also believe that these three are
one God, but separate in personality and work. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten
Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He
lived a sinless life, whose death on the cross was both sufficient and
substitutionary for the sins of the whole world. After making atonement
for the sins of the world, with His own blood, He ascended into Heaven
with a glorified body where He is seated at the right hand of the
Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our
High Priest. About Salvation: We believe that man is lost in sin and must be born
again to enter into Heaven. We believe that man is a sinner by nature
and by choice. That by the reproving work of the Holy Spirit, he
realizes his lost estate, and that Christ's finished work on the cross
is the only way to salvation. Salvation is by grace through a personal
acceptance of Christ by faith. The salvation of a man's soul is by
grace alone through personal faith in the finished work of Christ on
the cross. About the Church: We believe that the local church is a group of
believers baptized by immersion; joined together for edification,
exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great
Commission; preaching the gospel to every creature. We believe God's
program today is centered in the local independent New Testament church. About the Second Coming: We
believe the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any
moment to rapture His church and to reward their works. The unbelievers
left behind will go through a seven year period called the Tribulation,
after which Christ shall return visibly to the earth with His saints to
set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this,
the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be
judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God for all
eternity. We as believers will spend eternity in Heaven with our Lord
Jesus Christ. |
