| We believe
in one Supreme God, who is "from everlasting to
everlasting," who is infinitely perfect, benevolent and
wise, who is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omnicient, and who
is the Creator and Ruler of heaven and earth.
We believe
in a Triune God-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We
believe these three Persons are one, and while separate in
office, are undivided in essence, co-equal in power and
glory, and that all men everywhere ought to worship and
serve this Triune God.
We believe
the contents of the Bible to have been given by inspiration
of God, and the Scriptures form the divine rule of all true,
godly faith and Christian practice.
We believe
that Jesus Christ, when upon the earth, was truly man and
yet was as truly God, the Divine and human being blended in
the one being, hence His ability to feel and suffer as a man
and yet supremely love and triumph as the Godhead.
We believe
that our first parents were created without sin, but by
listening to the tempter and obeying his voice fell from
grace and lost their purity and peace and that in
consequences of their disobedience and fall all men have
become sinful by propensity and are consequently exposed to
the wrath of God.
We believe
that Jesus Christ , the only begotten Son of God, by the
sacrifice of His life, made an atonement for all men, and
that whosoever will call upon Him and accept His overtures
of grace may be saved.
We believe
that in order to be saved that it is necessary (a) to repent
toward God, (b) to believe with the heart in Jesus Christ,
and (c) to become regenerated through the operation of the
Holy Spirit.
We believe
that the Holy Spirit gives to each person thus saved the
inward witness of acceptance by God.
We believe
that the Scriptures teach and urge all Christians to be
cleansed in heart from inbred sin, so that they may walk
uprightly and "serve Him without fear in holiness, and
righteousness before Him all the days of our lives."
We believe
the soul shall never die: and that we shall be raised again;
that the world shall be judged by God, and that the
punishment of the wicked will be eternal and the joy and
reward of the righteousness will be everlasting before the
throne of God
