The principles of our doctrine come from the inspired Word of God. We do not have a man-made doctrine or any man-made creeds. Every belief that we have can be found in the Word of God. Here are some of the basics of our faith.
We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God. We believe that it is infallible and free of errors.
The Bible is God's love letter to mankind. We also believe that this is the only revelation of God.
II Tim. 3:16-17
II Peter 1:20-21
Each person is tempted by his lust and if acted upon results in sin.
The Scriptures tell us that we all have sinned. But that the price of sin has been paid.
James 1:13-15
Rom. 3:23
Rom. 6:23
We are to hear the Word of God being proclaimed, believe in Jesus Christ, turn away from (repent) of our sins,
confess who Jesus is to us, be immersed to have our sins washed away and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
and then to live a faithful life until death or until Jesus returns.
Rom. 10:17
Mark 16:16
Luke 13:3
Matt. 16:16
Acts 2:38
Rev. 2:10
As Christians we partake of communion every first day of the week, just like the early church. We do this, at Jesus' request, to remember what He did for us.
The bread and the juice are symbolic of Jesus’ body and blood. We are to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made in our place.
The Christian will do all that they can not to miss this fellowship with Jesus.
Acts 20:7
I Cor. 11:23-29
The Bible teaches that at our baptism we receive the indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit.
This gift from God is here to help, guide, and strengthen us in our Christian walk.
The Bible also teaches that we no longer receive the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will make Himself known as we produce fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38
John 14:15-21
I Cor. 13:8-11
We accept the Bible teaching that the church on earth is the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Christ.
That church began on the day of Pentecost after the resurrection of the Lord.
Peter was given the keys of this kingdom and he opened the door to the church with the first Gospel sermon.
We accept the Bible teaching that Christ is the head over all things in regard to the church, and thus we accept no contrary teachings.
We accept the Bible teaching that the Lord adds those who are being saved to His church.
Matt. 16:19
Acts 2:37-37
Eph. 1:22-23
The Church believes the Bible teaching that the faithful Christians will spend eternity in the joyful presence of the Lord.
We accept the Bible teaching that all others will spend eternity in the painful misery of the Lake of Fire which was prepared for the Devil and his angels.
Matt. 25:41-46
