Our Stand: Doctrinal Statement
1. We believe in the
verbal, plenary inspiration and authority of the Scripture.
2. We believe that the
Bible has been preserved by God through the Hebrew Masoretic text and the Greek
Textus Recptus.
3. We believe that the
Authorized King James Version is the Preserved Word of God for the English
speaking people and is the sole authority in all matters of faith and practice.
4. We believe in the Holy
Trinity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. That these three
are distinct and yet are one.
5. We Believe that God
created Heaven and Earth in six literal twenty-four hour days.
6. We believe that all
mankind is sinful, in need of salvation, and unable to save himself
7. We believe that Christ
died for the sins of all mankind and that salvation is by grace, through faith,
plus nothing and minus nothing based on the finished work of Christ on the
cross.
8. We believe in the bodily
resurrection of Christ and His bodily ascension into heaven, where he now
intercedes for believers.
9. We believe in the
everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved in Heaven and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the lost in Hell.
10. We believe that man was
created as a responsible being and as such , he may choose to accept or reject
the grace of God.
11. We believe in the
eternal security of the believer.
12. We believe that the
local church is God's institution to carry out the Great Commission.
13. We believe that Christ
paid for the church with His own blood and has given the Pastor the honor and
the privilege of taking heed unto the flock
14. We believe that the two
ordinances of the local church are baptism by immersion for believers only and
the Lord's Supper as a memorial and that neither of these ordinances is a
requirement for salvation
15. We believe in the
imminent, literal, pre-tribulational rapture of all believers.
16. We believe in the
pre-millennial return and millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
17. We believe in the
judgment of believers at the Judgment Seat of Christ and the judgment of
unbelievers at the Great White Throne.
18. We believe in the
obligation of every believer to live a holy life and to witness to the lost of
the saving power of Christ.
19. We believe that God is
sovereign in the bestowment of all His gifts, and the the gifts of evangelists
and pastor-teachers are sufficient for the perfecting of the saints today.
20. We believe that
speaking in tongues and the working of sign miracles ceased when the New
Testament Scriptures were completed.
21. We believe that all
forms of compromise with liberalism, ecumenicalism, new evangelicalism, or the
charismatic movement should be avoided by those who wish to live in obedience to
God.
22. We believe that God
commands His people to be separated from the world personally and
ecclesiastically.
