What We Believe |
We believe....
- In the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writing as fully inspired by God, and accept them as the final authority for faith and life. - In one God eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. - That Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true to God and true to man. - That God created man in his own image; that the first man, Adam, sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of death, physical and spiritual; Adams' sin and the resultant guilt and corruption are imputed to mankind. Man is born with a sinful nature, which issues in transgression involving personal guilt. - That the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins, according to the Scripture, and all that believe in him are justified on the ground of His perfect life and sacrificial substitutionary death. - In the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ His ascension into heaven, and his present life as our High Priest and Advocate. - In the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. - In the personality of the Holy Spirit; His regenerating work; His abiding presence in the true believer; the necessity of His empowering to live the Christian life fully and his sovereign distribution of spiritual gifts. |
