| 1: |
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired by God
and without error in the original writings, and that they are of absolute and final authority in faith and life.
|
| 2: |
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
|
| 3: |
We believe that Jesus Christ is the true and only Son of God, identifying Himself with His creation
through the supernatural conception of the Holy Spirit and birth by the Virgin Mary.
We believe in His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious, atoning death, His bodily resurrection
and personal physical return to the earth some day.
|
| 4: |
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ took on Himself the blame and punishment for all our sins when
He died on the Cross of Calvary. Salvation is a free and unearned gift of God, given to those
who receive Jesus Christ as their own personal Savior.
|
| 5: |
We believe that God created man in His image, that man sinned, and all mankind has been given
the heritage of sin and death. Therefore, every person is lost in sin by the nature inherited from Adam,
as well as by personal action and choice. Restoration to fellowship with God is available only
through the person of Jesus Christ, by turning from sin in repentance and in receiving Him as our personal Savior.
|
| 6: |
We believe in the resurrection of the physical body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven,
and in His presence there as High priest and Intercessor for us.
|
| 7: |
We believe in the physical resurrection of all mankind into eternity; those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior
in Heaven, and unbelievers in Hell.
|
| 8: |
We believe that all human life is sacred, from conception to natural death. We also believe that God designed
human sexuality to be expressed only within the context of monogamous marriage, which is exclusively the union
of one genetic male and one genetic female.
