We Believe, in brief,
1. In the plenary, verbal inspiration, infallibility, inerrancy and authority of the Bible which is the Word of God.
2. In the triunity of the one true and living God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. In the miraculous conception and virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, His deity, pre-existence and eternality; His vicarious, substitutionary atoning death and His bodily resurrection.
4. In the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit and His ministry both with the lost and the saved; the charismatic gifts of the Spirit no longer exercised since the completion of the scripture.
5. In the direct creation of man by divine fiat (not by evolution), His subsequent fall and total depravity.
6. In salvation by grace alone through faith alone; the absolute necessity of the new birth; repentance and faith evidencing the new life; justification by faith alone without works; sanctification: positional, progressive, and complete; the perseverance and preservation of the saints; the enteral purpose of God in election; and the freeness of salvation.
7. In the independence, autonomy and self-governing character of the local new testament church.
8. In the two ordinances of believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper.
9. In the present and future state of the righteous and the wicked.
10. In the separation of church and state.
11. In Satan's personality, present work and final doom.
12. In the resurrection, the personal, premillennial, pretribulational return of Christ for the Church; His revelation with the church at the end of the great Tribulation and His thousand year reign on the earth.
