The Scriptures- We
believe in the plenary, verbal, Divine inspiration of the Holy Bible. The Holy Scriptures of the Old (Masoretic Hebrew) and
the New (Textus Receptus) Testaments are the inspired, inerrant Word of God; the complete and final revelation of
God's will to man. The Word of God is the supreme standard of faith and practice (Isaiah 40:8; John 10:35; ll Timothy 3:16;
ll Peter 1:19-21). The King James, AV 1611, is the inerrant Word of God, providentially preserved. There is no need to revise,
update, correct, better explain, or change it in any way ( Revelation 22:18-10; Deuteronomy 4:2).
God- There
is one supreme God, omnipotent, omniscient, manifesting Himself in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; one in nature,
attributes, power and glory ( Genesis 1:1; Mark 12:29; Matthew 28:19; ll Corinthians 13:14; John 1:1-4; John 5:17-27; Philippians
2:6-11).
The Person and Work of Christ- Jesus Christ was begotten by
the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. He is therefore true God and true Man. Jesus Christ is impeccable in His nature
and sinless in His life. He died on the cross and shed His precious blood as an atonement for our sins; was buried and rose
again the third day. he ascended into Heaven and as our High Priest intercedes for us. He is coming again for His church (Matthew
1:18-25; John 1:1-4, 14; Philippians 2:6-11; Luke 1:26-35; l Timothy 3:16).
The Person and Work of the
Holy Spirit- The Holy Spirit is a Divine person; the third Person of the Trinity. he is the
administrator of the things of God; convicting of sin, revealing Christ, teaching the truth, restraining evil, energizing
believers in prayer, worship, and service and is ever present in the believer as our Comforter and Helper (Psalm 139:7-12;
John 7:38-39, 15:26, 16:3, 14; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9; l Corinthians 6:19; ll Thessalonians 2).
Salvation and Security of
the Believer- All who believe on Jesus Christ as Saviour are justified on the ground and merit
of His shed blood on the cross, and are saved by grace through faith, wholly apart from human merit and works ( John 1:29;
Acts 13:38-39; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:3-8). All who are born again by the Spirit of God through faith in Christ are eternally
secure (John 5:24, 10:22-29; ll Timothy 1:12; Philippians 1:6; Romans 8:32-39).
The Church- The local church is a called out assembly of believers who assemble together in obedience to Christ's command
for this age. The local New Testament church is the agency through which God works to carry out the Great Commission to the
lost and dying world ( Matthew 16:18, 18:17, 28:19-20; l Corinthians 1:2; Mark 16:15-16).
The Ordinance of the Local
Church- There are two ordinances of the local church; Baptism and the Lords Supper. The Scriptural
mode for Baptism is by immersion (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Matthew 3:16-17; l Corinthians 11:23-32).
The Personality of Satan-
Satan is a real personality; a created being of great beauty and power, the prince of this
world, the god of this air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. He fell through pride, and became
enemy to God and deceiver of man. He will ultimately be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire (Ezekiel 28:12-19; Isaiah 14:12-14;
Job 1:1; John 8:44; Revelation 20:1-3, 7-10).
The Eternal State- We believe in the bodily resurrection
of all the dead; the saved to a life of eternal glory and bliss in Heaven with God; the unsaved to eternal judgment of conscious
suffering and woe in the Lake of Fire ( John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:6, 11-15, 21:1-8; Matthew 10:28; ll Thessalonians 1:6-9
).
The Millennium- After His personal, bodily, visible return at the end of the
tribulation, the Lord Jesus Christ will establish His kingdom on earth and reign as the blessed and only potentate for one
thousand years (l Timothy 6:14-15; Revelation 20:6-7; Isaiah 65:15-25).
The Great Commission- It is the privilege and responsibility
of every believer to engage in personal evangelism and to do their utmost to give the Gospel of Christ to the whole
world ( Matthew 4:19, 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 1:8; John 17:18, 20-21).
Personal Separation- God's people are called to be separated people who abide in Christ, walk in the Spirit and enjoy
victory over the world, flesh, and devil (Romans 12:11-2; Galatians 5:16; l John 2:15-17; Colossians 3:1-17; ll Corinthians
2:14).
Ecclesiastical Separation- In obedience to the Holy Word of God the
people of God should practice Scriptural separation from all forms of ecclesiastical apostasy and compromise. This would include
( but not limited to) the Ecumenical Movement, Neo-Evangelicalism, and Neo-Orthodoxy ( Philippians 3:17-18; Romans 16:17-18;
l Timothy 1:19-20; ll Timothy 3:5, 4:14; Ephesians 5:11; ll Corinthians 6:14-17; Titus 1:13, 3:10-11; ll Thessalonians 3:6,
14-15; l Corinthians 5:11).
Charismatic Movement- We reject this movement and it's
teachings of Faith Healers and it's speaking in tongues as evidence of being filled with the Spirit.
Music- Music should be Christ Honoring and not Glorifying
the individual(s) who sing or play it. The modern Christian Rock and Contemporary music along with Broadway Production Style
are worldly and only please the flesh.
The
Tribulation - We believe in a Pre- Tribulation and by that we mean that
Christ will come for all saved people to take them home to be with him and then after that the great tribulation will start.
