10 Beliefs of Faith

  1. The Authority of the Bible – The scriptures of the Old and New Testament have been given by the inspiration of God and therefore serve as the authoritative guide for Christian understanding, life, and ministry.
    Psalm 19:7, Prov. 30:5, Math. 4:4, 2 Tim. 3:16
  2. God is Trinity – There is but one true God, the supreme, sovereign Being of the Universe and is revealed in Scripture as One divine Being existing in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
    Gen 1:26,27, Is 48:16, Matt 3:16,17, Matt 28:19, 1 Cor 12:4-6, 2 Cor 13:14, 1 Jn 5:7
  3. The Deity and Perfect Humanity of Jesus Christ – Jesus Christ is the preexistent son of God and is fully God and fully man; (the hypostatic union) the only Savior for the sins of the world. He was the Word made flesh; supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the Virgin Mary; and was perfect in nature, teaching, and obedience.
    Matt 16:16, Matt 22:42-45, Luke 1:35, Luke 1:47, Jn 1:1,14, Jn 10:30, Jn 14:6,7, Heb 7:26
  4. The Deity of the Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is ascribed with the attributes of God, is equated with God and does the work that only God does.
    Jn 14:26, Jn 15:26, Jn 16:13, Acts 5:3-5, Rom. 5:5
  5. Human State of Depravity – Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Man willfully disobeyed God incurring spiritual and physical death. Each human is a sinner by nature and is in need of divine salvation.
    Gen 1:26,27, Gen 2:17, Gen 3:6, Ps 58:3, Eccl 7:20, Is 64:6, Rom 3:10, Rom. 3:23, Rom 5:12, Eph 2:1
  6. Atonement by the Substitutionary Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ - Christ’s substitutionary death on the cross by the shedding of His blood in His vicarious sacrifice for sin shows mercy to sinners and supplies Christians with the life of God.
    Matt 26:28, Jn 1:29, Acts 20:28, Rom 3:25,26, Rom. 5:9, Heb 9:22, 1 Pet 1:19, Rev. 13:8
  7. Salvation by Grace Through Faith – Atonement by the Literal Blood and death of Jesus Christ provided an opportunity for all men to be saved by believing the Gospel. Salvation has been provided freely to all who believe as a result of who God is, and what Christ has done – not who we are or what we have done.
    Gen 15:6, Jn 3:14-18, Acts 4:12, Acts 8:37, Acts 16:30,31, Rom. 10:13, Rom. 10:9-10, Eph 2:8,9
  8. Christ is Building His Church – The church which is the Body and future Bride of Christ, is dedicated to the worship and service of God, as well as the ordinance of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
    Acts 11:26, Rom. 12:4-5, 1 Cor. 12:27
  9. The Existence of Satan, Elect and Fallen Angels – Lucifer created perfect in wisdom and beauty as a cherubim rebelled and exalted himself above God, and therefore was judged by God, and drew 1/3 of the angels with him who are now demons.
    Ps. 148:2,5, Is 14:12-14, Matt 16:18, Mark 8:38, Luke 10:18, 1 Cor 4:9, 2 Cor 2:11, Eph 1:22,23, Eph 3:10, Eph 5:23b,24a, 1 Pet 1: 12
  10. The Resurrection/Eternal Rewards of the Just and Eternal Punishment of the Unjust – Christ will return to rapture His church. Following will be a seven year tribulation period. Christ will come again to the earth and establish His kingdom for 1,000 years. The Great White Throne judgment of the unsaved, coupled with Satan being cast into the lake of fire, will allow Christ to establish a New Heaven and a New Earth.
    John 5:24, Rom 11:32, Rom 14:10, 1 Cor. 15:22, 1 Cor 15:51, 1 Thess 4:16,17, 1 Thess 5:9, Eph. 2:1-6, Rev. 20:4-5, Rev 20:2-7, Rev 20:11-15, Rev 21:1-3
