Our Beliefs
We accept the Bible and the Bible only as the inspired Word of God, and as containing the doctrines of life and salvation. We believe that we should put forth earnest, prayerful effort to rightly divide and apply its teachings in accordance with the instructions given in 2 Timothy 2:15.
We believe the following outstanding truths of the Bible should be taught, and that full acceptance thereof is necessary to a fuller and proper understanding of God’s Word.
- There is but one God who is Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6)
- Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. (John 3:16; Luke 1:35)
- The Holy Spirit is the power of God, manifest in creation, in the birth of Christ, and in the lives of all consecrated children of god. (Job 33:4; Luke 1:35; Romans 8:9).
- Man is a mortal creature of God, dependent upon Christ for immorality and salvation. (1 Corinthians 15:53,57).
- Salvation is by grace, it is the gift of God through the death and resurrection of His only begotten Son. (Ephesians 2:8,9). Our part in God’s plan of salvation is to:
