We
believe...
...the Bible is
the inspired and only completely trustworthy and authoritative written
Word of God.
...there is one
God, eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit.
...that our
Lord Jesus Christ is God in human flesh. We believe in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, that He died to pay the
price of sin for all humankind. We believe in His bodily resurrection,
in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future
return to this earth in power and glory.
...in the
blessed hope--that Jesus will one day soon return to earth to take those
who have trusted in Him to a heavenly home he has prepared for us.
...that the
only means of being forgiven for our sin is through repentance (sorrow
for sin and a sincere promise to turn away from sin) and faith that
Jesus died to pay the price for our sin.
...regeneration
by the Holy Spirit (being "born again") is absolutely essential for
personal salvation.
...in water
baptism by immersion and holy communion as essential symbols of the work
that God has done in our lives.
...the
sacrifice of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in
answer to believing prayer.
...the baptism
in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask
for it and is an essential experience empowering believers to share the
good news about Jesus.
...in the
transforming power of the Holy Spirit who comes to live within believers
and enables them to live a holy life.
...in the
resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life
and the other to everlasting punishment
