We believe the Bible is the written word
of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without
error in the
original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation
of God뭩 truth and is infallible and authoritative
in
all matters of faith and practice. We believe
in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who
exists eternally in three persons:
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that all are sinners and totally
unable to save themselves from God뭩 displeasure,
except by His mercy.
We believe that salvation is by God alone
as He sovereignly chooses those He will
save.
We believe His choice is based on His grace,
not on any human individual merit, or foreseen
faith.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal
Son of God, who through His perfect life
and sacrificial
death atoned for the sins of all who will
trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
We believe that God is gracious and faithful
to His people not simply as individuals
but as families
in successive generations according to His
Covenant promises.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells
God뭩 people and gives them the strength
and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
We believe that Jesus will return, bodily
and visibly, to judge all mankind and to
receive His people
to Himself.
We believe that all aspects of our lives
are to be lived to the glory of God under
the Lordship of Jesus Christ. |
