Our Biblical Position:

1. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration and the infallibility of the Scripture (II Tim. 3:15-17; II Pet. 1:19-21). We believe that the Word of God has been divinely preserved without contradiction or error in the King James Version for the English speaking people (Psa. 112:6-7; 138:2; Mt. 5:18; John 12:48).

2  We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1, 26; 11:7; Isa. 6:8; Deut. 6:4,5; I Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:6;I Tim. 1:17; Matt. 3:16, 17; 28:19; John 15:16,17, 26).

3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of Mary, a virgin, and is true God and true man. (Isa. 14:7; 9:6-7; Mt. 1:18-25; John 1:1-2, 14; Luke 1:26-40; Col. 1:15-18).

4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.  (Gen. 1:26; 3:1-6, 24; Rom. 5:12, 19; 3:10-19; Eph. 2:1, 3; Gal. 3:22).

5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him, with sorrow and repentance, are justified on the ground of His shed blood. (I Cor. 15:1-10; John 10:11, 15, 18; II Cor. 5:21).

6. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven and in His present life there as High Priest and Advocate. (I Cor. 15:1-50; Mt. 28; Mk. 16; Luke 24; John 20; Acts 1:9-11; I Jn. 2:1, 2; Heb. 4:14-16).

7. We believe in the "blessed hope", the personal, premillennial, pretribulational and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, when the Church (the dead in Christ shall be raised and those who are alive shall be changed), will be gathered together unto Him. (I Thess. 4:13-18;  I Cor. 15:51-58).

8. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. (John 3:5-7; I Pet. 1:23-25; Tit. 3:5; I John 3:1-3).

9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just unto everlasting bliss in Heaven, and the resurrection of the lost unto everlasting punishment in Hell fire. (John 5:28, 29; I Cor. 15:51-58; I Thes. 4; Rev. 20:1-15).

10. We believe the Church is the body of Christ and that all born again believers make up this body. We believe the local church is made up of born again, baptized believers of which Christ is the Head; that it is the highest spiritual institution ever established in Christ. (Acts 1:5; 2:4, 37-47;  I Cor. 12:12, 13;  Eph. 1:3-23;  2:1-22).

11. We believe that the local church has the absolute right of self- government, free from any interference of any hierarchy or individuals or organizations, and the one and only Head is the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:41-42; I Cor. 11:2; Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18; Eph. 5:23-24).

12. We believe that the Scriptural baptism is by a single immersion of born again people only.  It is the outward sign of an inward belief. It identifies the convert with the Lord Jesus Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.  The ordinance of Baptism and the Lord's Supper are given to the church and must be carried out by the local church and under its authority.  (Mt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15; Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38; 8:36-38; Rom. 6:1-6).

13. We believe in salvation by grace through faith: a free gift of God without the virtue of works, but by personal faith in Christ and His finished work in His death, shed blood, and resurrection. Through Him we have the gift of eternal life, imputed righteousness. We are children of God and are guaranteed never to perish. (Eph. 2:8-10; Rom. 6:23; 10:9-13; John 3:14-16; 10:28-30; 3:36; 5:24; I John 3:1-3).

14. We believe that Satan is a person. He was originally created Lucifer, son of morning, but fell from his first estate and led one-third of the angels astray with him. He became lifted up with pride and is now called Satan, the devil, and his angels are called demons or devils. He is that evil and wicked one who is a defeated foe. (Gen. 3:1-15; Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:12-19; Jude 1:6-9; II Pet. 2:4; I Pet. 5:8-9; Rev. 12:3-17;20:1-10; Heb. 2:14; I John 3:8).

15. We believe in the priesthood of all believers. Christ, our High Priest, provides access to God without the need of a human intercessor. (Heb. 4:14-16; I Tim. 2:5, 6; I John 2:1, 2; Heb. 7:25-26; John 14:13,14; 16:23, 26; I Pet. 2:9; Heb. 10:19-22).

Our Biblical Position Against:

1.  Neo-orthodoxy:  We believe this method of Scriptural interpretation is false and deceiving.  Instead of presenting the truth, this method presents a half truth.  It is inconsistent with true Biblical interpretation. It tries to reconcile Higher Scientific Biblical Criticism with the Word of God.

2.  Neo-evangelicalism:  We believe that the neo-evangelical is one of attitude rather than doctrine. It compromises with the modernists and liberals in cooperative efforts in evangelism and other co-called Christian endeavors.

3.  Ecumenical Movement: We believe this movement to be un-scriptural, since it desires to unite all faiths into a world-wide Church.  This movement does not raise the standards of morality, but it is a contributing factor to the destruction of the moral fiber of many men today.

4.  Charismatic Movement:  We believe this movement is very much a part of the ecumenical monster used by Satan to bring together the one world church through experiences called tongues and healing.  The Bible doctrine of separation from the ungodly is ignored while promoting so-called "brotherly love".

5.  Hyper-Calvinism:  We believe this is a false doctrine represented by the letters TULIP.  This teaches that man has no choice, but must accept that God has predestined some to be saved while the rest must go to hell.  This is totally inconsistent with God's Word that teaches whosoever will may come.  Christ's death on the cross was not just for the few, but for all. (II Pet. 3:9; I John 2:2; John 3:16; I Tim. 2:3-6).

6.  Humanism:  We believe humanism to be evil, as they refer to it as a "faith" and a "religion".  Humanism was declared by the U.S. Supreme Court to be a religion.  It denies the deity of God, the inspiration of the Bible, and divinity of Jesus Christ.  It teaches there are no absolutes, no right, no wrong, and that moral values are self-determined and situational.  Do your own thing is the philosophy of this cult.

7.  Easy-believism:  In recent years, there has arisen a philosophy of evangelism which has NO repentance, nor demands any conviction or sorrow for sin.  We believe that salvation is by grace through faith with repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph. 2:8-9; Acts 20:21).  A believing sinner confesses (agrees with) the Lord Jesus Christ, calling upon the Lord for forgiveness and salvation (Rom. 10:9-13).
