Statement of Faith
The Holy Scriptures
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Scriptures (II Tim. 3:16); that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant as they were originally written (Matt. 5:18; John 17:17); that the Scriptures are complete, infallible (Rev. 22:18-19; Ps. 119:128); and are the sufficient and sole authority on all matters of faith and practice for the Christian believer (I Thess. 2:13).
Dispensationalism
We believe that the Scriptures interpreted in their natural, literal sense reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules of life which define man's responsibilities in successive ages. These dispensations are not ways of salvation, but rather are divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs man according to His purpose. Three of these dispensations--the age of law, the age of the church, and the age of the kingdom-are the subjects of detailed revelation in Scripture (Gen. 1:28; I Cor. 9:17; II Cor. 3:9-18; Gal. 3:13-25; Eph. 1:10; 3:2-10; Col. 1:24-25, 27; Rev. 20:2-6).
The Godhead
We believe in one God, the Creator and Sovereign ruler of the universe (Gen. 1:1, John 1:1-3); eternally co-existent in three persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (II Cor. 13:14); co-equal in nature, divine attributes and perfections; and are worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence and obedience. We believe that He originally created all things, not by evolutionary processes, but directly and immediately, and that He sustains and guides all things to their pre-determined end (Col 1:17; Eph. 1:10).
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (Isa. 7:14; Col. 2:9); pre-existent with the Father (John 1:18); conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:18; Luke 1:35); born of the Virgin Mary, not having human father (Luke 1:34); and is true God and true man (Matt. 16:13-18).
b. We believe He lived a sinless life (John 8:46; I Peter 1:19); shed His redeeming blood (Eph. 1:7) and died a substitutionary death on the cross for the sins of the world; was bodily resurrected from the grave on the third day (I Cor. 15:3-9); and ascended into heaven where He now intercedes for believers (Heb. 7:25). He is man's only hope of salvation and is the only mediator between God and man (John 14:6; I Tim. 2:5).
The Hoy Spirit
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit who regenerates (John 3:5) and baptizes believers into the body of Christ (I Cor. 12:13); empowers them for service (Acts 1:8); indwells (Rom. 8:9), infills (Eph. 5:18), guides (Rom. 8:14), enlightens (Eph. 3:16-19), comforts for daily living (John 14:16-18); and seals them until the day of redemption (Eph. 1:13).
Depravity of Man
We believe that Adam, as the natural head of the human race, was created in the image of God, originally innocent and sinless (Gen. 1:26-27); that he voluntarily sinned (Gen. 3:6-7; Rom. 5:12); and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death upon himself and all mankind (Rom. 3:10; 3:23).
b. We believe that all human beings are sinful by nature (Ps. 51:5); in the case of those who reach moral responsibility become sinners by choice (Jer. 17:9); are unable to effect their own salvation (Titus 3:5); and are in need of the salvation which Christ alone can provide (Rom. 6:23; 5:18).
Salvation
We believe that a person is saved when he repents of his sin and accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior apart from human works or ceremonies (John 1:11-12).
Eternal Security
We believe in the eternal security of the believer who is kept by the power of God (John 10:27-29; I Peter 1:5).
Santification
We believe that in sanctification the believer is set apart, unto God and from the world, as a saint (I Peter 1:2; Heb. 10:9-10, 14; I Cor. 1:30-31). Every regenerated believer is sanctified POSITIONALLY at conversion (Col. 2:10); and every believer is to continue being sanctified PROGRESSIVELY and practically (I Thess. 5:23; II Cor. 3:18). Positional sanctification corresponds to our STANDING in Christ; practical and progressive sanctification corresponds to our STATE before the Lord. Sanctification will reach its climax and be PERFECTED when Christ takes us to Himself in the rapture (I Thess. 3:12-13; I John 3:2).
The Church
We believe that the Church has two aspects:
1) "Church which is His body" -- the living spiritual body of which Christ is the head, and of which all regenerated believers are members (I Cor. 12:13; Eph. 3:6; Col. 1:24).
2) "Local Church" -- a company of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, baptized by immersion upon a credible confession of faith, and voluntarily associated for worship, fellowship and service (Acts 2:47; Acts 11:19-30).
b. We believe the local Church was given the responsibility to perpetually observe two ordinances:
1) Baptism of believers by immersion as a testimony and symbol of the believer's regeneration and union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 8:39; Rom. 6:3-5).
2) Lord's Supper as a memorial of the Lord's death until He comes again (I Cor. 11:23-34).
c. We believe the Church was given the divine commission to preach the Gospel to every creature (Matt. 28:18-20); to earnestly contend for the faith (Jude 3); and to edify individual members of the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-16).
Separation
We believe that Biblical separation includes separation of the local Church from:
a. Any affiliation or fellowship with:
1. Those who deny the basic fundamentals of the faith (II Tim. 2:16-19; I Tim. 6:3-6)
2. Those who teach and practice extra-Biblical traditions and doctrine ( Rom. 16:17; I Tim. 1:18-20)
3. Those who practice inclusivism (II Chron. 19:2; II Thess. 3:6, 14)
4. Any form of apostasy (Titus 3:10-11; II John 9-11; Gal. 1:8)
b. Indulgence in worldly practices and amusements (Rom. 12:1-2; I John 2:15-17; I Cor. 6:19-20; James 4:4; Eph. 5:10)
The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the imminent (Titus 2:13), pre-tribulational return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church (Rapture)(Acts 1:11; I Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 3:10); that following the Great Tribulation period He will visibly and bodily return to the earth with His saints and establish His Millennial Kingdom (II Thess. 1:7-9); and that during this 1,000 year period the covenant promises of God for Israel will be literally fulfilled and the times of the Gentiles will have ended (Ezk. 36:24-28; Isa. 11:11-16; Rom. 11:26; Luke 21:24; Zech. 12:2; 14:23).
