What We Believe
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction that it has God for it’s author, salvation for it’s end, and truth for it’s matter; that it reveals the principles by when God will judge us; and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.
SCRIPTURES
There is one and only one living and true God, and intelligent, spiritual, and personal being, the creator preserver, and ruler of the universe, infinite in Holiness, and all other perfection, to Whom we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. He is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
TRINITY
The salvation-or saving-of sinners is wholly of grace, through the blood atonement of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who by the Holy Spirit was born of the virgin Mary and took upon Him our nature, yet without sin. He is in every way qualified to be a compassionate and all-sufficient Saviour.
SALVATION
Salvation is made free to all by the Gospel, and it is the duty of all to accept these blessings. Nothing prevents the greatest sinner to be saved, except their own voluntary refusal to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour.
SALVATION FREE TO ALL
BAPTISM
We believe that Baptism shall be for believers only, according to scripture. Baptism is not salvation, but an outward expression and delcaration that we are following Christ.
RESSURECTION
The scriptures teach that Jesus bodily rose from the grave. He appeared on several occasions to His disciples and manifested His Lordship as Jesus Christ. He now exists in His glorified body at God’s right hand.
Scripture clearly teaches the visible and personal return of Jesus Christ to the earth, whose time of coming is known only to the Father, God. We believe in the pre-tribulation, pre-millennial, “Blessed Hope” for Him to receive His redeemed ones to be with Him eternally.
RETURN OF THE LORD
It is the duty of every Christian man and woman, and the duty of every Church of Jesus Christ to seek to extend the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The new birth of man’s spirit by God’s Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life. It is also expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by personal effort and by all other methods sanctioned by the Gospel of Christ.
