STATEMENT OF FAITH 
- The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be
the only inspired Word of God, without error in the original writing, the
complete revelation of His will to men and the final authority for all
Christian faith and life: John 10:35, II Tim. 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21,
Rev. 22:19.
- In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect
and eternally existing in three persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:
Gen. 1:1, 26; Mt. 3:16-17, I Tim. 3:16, John 1:14.
- That man was created in the image of God (spirit, soul,
and body), but became separated from God by willful sin through the
influence of Satan, who now has control over unregenerated man: Gen. 1:26,
3:1-24; Job 1:6-7, Luke 10:18, Is. 14:9-17, II Co. 4:4, I Thess. 5:23.
- In a literal heaven and hell and an impending judgment.
John 17:3, Rev. 21:1, Mt. 23:33, Rev. 20:10-15, II Cor. 5:10.
- That man is born under sin and needs a spiritual rebirth
in order to obtain eternal life. Rom. 3:23, 5:12; John 3:7-8, I Pet. 1:23.
- That in Jesus Christ, The Word became flesh, was born of
a virgin, was the only true Messiah, lived a sinless life, shed His blood on
the cross for the remissions of sins and salvation, descended to hell, was
raised from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will
return soon for His church. John 1:14, Luke 1:27, II Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15,
9:12-25; Mt. 16:16, Mt. 24:30-31, 24:42, 26:28, 27:50, 28:7; Rom. 5:9, 8:11;
Col. 1:14, 3:1; I Pet. 1:21, 3:19; Eph. 4:8-10, Acts 10:40, Rev. 3:3, I
Thess. 4:13-18.
- That man is saved by grace through faith through two
acts of the will after hearing the Gospel: believing in one’s heart Jesus
is the Son of God and confessing with his mouth that God raised Christ from
the dead: Eph. 2:8&9, Acts 15:11, Rom. 10:8-13, Mt. 16:15-16, Jn. 3:15,
Acts 2:38.
- In three baptisms: (A) Into the Body of Christ by the
Holy Spirit: I Co. 12:3,13; thereafter receiving the Holy Spirit: John
20:22, Acts 2:38, I Cor. 20:22, I Cor. 3:16. (B) Into water by a fellow
believer symbolizing the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus: Acts 8:38,
Mt. 3:16, Rom. 6:3-4. (C) Into the Holy Spirit by Jesus: Mt. 3:11; Acts 1:5,
2:4, 10:46, 19:1-6, Luke 11:13; with the ability to speak and pray in
unknown tongues as one of the evidences: I Cor. 14:2, 14, I Cor. 2:2, 14, I
Cor. 13:1, Eph 6:18; and subsequent sharing in the charismatic ministry
gifts for the edification of the Body: I Cor. 12:7-11, I Cor. 14:4, Jude 20,
ICor.14:17&13.
- In divine healing: Luke 10:9, Isa.53:5, I Peter 2:24,
Mt. 4:23, Acts 10:38, I Cor.12:9, Mk 16:18.
- In sharing the Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of Him
giving His Body and establishing the New Covenant in His blood: Luke
22:17-20, I Cor. 11:20-26, Jer. 31:31-34, Heb. 8:10-12.
- In tithes and offerings as an act of ministry to Jesus
to support God’s work and meet the needs of people (saved and unsaved):
Luke 8:3, Mal. 3:10, Acts 11:29, II Cor. 9:5-13, I Tim. 6:18, Deut 8:18.
- In spiritual maturity as evidenced by the Fruit of the
Spirit, a servant’s heart, and our works based on a foundational love for
Jesus: Gal. 5:22-23, Phil. 2:5, Luke 22:26, I Peter 5:5-6, I Cor. 3:9-15,
James 3:14-18, Mt. 20:26, Jn.15:1-17, Mt.6:21&33.
