- There is only one living God that exists in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. (John 10:30, Matthew 28:19, I Peter 1:2, II Corinthians 13:14, I John 5:7)
- Jesus is the son of God (Both God & Man), born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a sacrificial death by crucifixion, rose from the grave and ascended into heaven, and He is returning to earth. Jesus’ shed blood took the penalty of sin for us and gave us the right to eternal life.
(Matthew 1:22-23, Romans 6:23, John 1:29, 3:16, Isaiah 53:5, John 1:1-5; 14:10-30, Hebrews 4:14-16, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, I Thess 4:16-17, I Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13, I Peter 1:3)
- Only faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior not good works or deeds can save us.
Salvation (being saved) is a free gift from God that must be received. Jesus was God's sacrifice for forgiveness from sin.
(Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5:6, 6:23, Titus 3:5-7, Isaiah 53:7-12)
- That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says,” Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:9-11)
- Salvation once truly obtained cannot be lost but sin can interrupt the joy of fellowship with God. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
(John 10:27:30, 3:15-19, 5:24, I Peter 1:3-5, Psalms 51:10-12, II Cor 5:1-8, Eph 1:13)
- All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. The Bible is without error in the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16)
- Water baptism does not save us from sin but is an outward sign of an inward relationship with God. We are no longer slaves to sin.
(Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12, Romans 6:3-16)
- Holy Communion is an ordinance that reminds us that Jesus’ blood offers forgiveness for sin and that His body was broken for our healing.
(Luke 22:15-20, Isaiah 53:4-5)
- All who receive Christ become joint heirs with Him, and at death, their spirits are with Christ. (Galatians 4:1-7, 3:26, Eph 1:13-14 John 1:12, I Peter 1:4 Titus 3:5-7)
- Man was created in the image of God but because of sin was separated from God. Only through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection alone for salvation can this relationship be restored. Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
(Genesis 1:27 Isaiah 53:6, Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2)
- Prayer is the basis of our communication with God. We pray for God’s guidance in our lives and that God’s will be done both in us and through us.
(Matthew 21:22, 5:44, 6:5-8, I Thess 5:17, Romans 8:26, 12:12, James 5:16)
