Statement of Faith

We believe there is one GOD who is the creator of the universe, who is the only one that can create something from nothing, who loves beyond human comprehension the human race, who is eternally existent in 3 persons: GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit.

(Genesis 1:1 ~ In the beginningGOD createdthe heavenand the earth.)

(John 3:16 ~ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life)

(1John 5:7 ~ For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.)

We believe the Bible in the orginal text is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative WORD of GOD that has been supernaturally preserved down through the ages so that the human race would always have THE TRUTH.

(2 Timothy. 3:16 ~ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.)

We believe in the deity of our LORD Jesus Christ, the only begotten SON, The Messiah, Emmanuel – GOD with us, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, led a sinless life, performed mighty miracles, taught of God’s plan for redeeming humanity, choose to obediently die on the cross and become our perfect sacrifice, became victorious over death and the enemy of our soul by physically resurrecting the third day, ascended into heaven who now sits at the right hand of GOD the Father, who intercedes for the believer, and will return in the future to this earth in power and glory to rule.

(Matthew 16:16 ~ And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.)

(1 Corinthians. 15:3-4 ~ …. that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day …)

(Romans 8:34 ~ … It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.)

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Teacher, one who comes along side a Christian and guides them into all truth, a Comforter, HE is the supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them the moment they receive Christ as their Savior. The Holy Spirit is also one who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment. It is the privilege and duty of all Christians to be filled (controlled) with the Holy Spirit.

(John 16:7-14 ~ Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away for if I don’t go away, the Comforter will not come to you,but if I depart I will send HIM to you. And when HE is come, HE will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment)

(1 Corinthians 3:16 ~ Know ye not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?… But when HE, the Spirit of truth, comes, HE will guide you into all truth. HE will not speak on HIS own; HE will speak only what HE hears, and HE will tell you what is yet to come. HE will bring glory to me (Jesus) by taking from what is Mine and making it known to you.)

(1 Corinthians 12:12-14 ~ For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.)

(Ephesians 1:13 ~ In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise)

(Luke 24:49 ~ And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye ...., until ye be endued with power from on high..)

(Ephesians 5:18^~And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit)

We believe that everyone in the human race is conceived and born into a fallen state that contains a genetic defect the Bible calls sin. Ever since the rebellion by the first humans, Adam and Eve, this fallen nature is bent towards disobeying GOD and serving the selfish wants of the flesh. This condition results in eternal separation from GOD unless the individual allows the supernatural regeneration of the Holy Spirit to occur in their life. The individual has a choice to willingly confess that they are a sinner, admit they can’t save themselves, ask their Creator to forgive them, ask for the free gift of salvation from GOD and believe that the perfect blood of Jesus Christ has covered their sins so that by faith alone and not works they are ‘born again’!

(Romans 3:23 ~ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God)

(John 3:5-7 ~ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.)

(Titus 3:4-7 ~ But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Which HE shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by HIS grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.)

(1John 5:4 ~ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith..)

(John 10:9 ~I (Jesus) am the door: by ME if any man enter in, he shall be saved)

(1 Peter 1:18-19 ~ Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot)

(1 Peter 2:24 ~ Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.)
