We believe there is one GOD who is the creator of the universe, who is
the only one that can create something from nothing, who loves beyond
human comprehension the human race, who is eternally existent in 3
persons: GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit.
- Genesis 1:1 ~ In the
beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth.
- John 3:16 ~ For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life)
- 1John 5:7 ~ For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are one.)
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative
WORD of GOD.
- 2 Timothy. 3:16 ~ All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
We believe in the deity of our LORD Jesus Christ, the only begotten
SON, The Messiah, Emmanuel – GOD with us, conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary, led a sinless life, performed mighty miracles,
taught of God’s plan for redeeming humanity, choose to obediently die on
the cross and become our perfect sacrifice, became victorious over death
and the enemy of our soul by physically resurrecting the third day,
ascended into heaven who now sits at the right hand of GOD the Father, who
intercedes for the believer, and will soon return to rule this earth
in power and glory.
- Matthew 16:16 ~ And
Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God.
- 1 Corinthians. 15:3-4
~ …. that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day …
- Romans 8:34 ~ … It is
Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the
right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Teacher, one who comes
along side a Christian and guides them into all truth, a Comforter, HE is
the supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the
body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them the moment they receive Christ
as their Savior. The Holy Spirit is also one who convicts the world
of sin, of righteousness, and judgment. It is the privilege and duty
of all Christians to be filled (controlled) with the Holy Spirit.
-
John 16:7-14 ~ Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for
you that I go away for if I don’t go away, the Comforter will not come
to you, but if I depart I will send HIM to you. And when HE is come, HE
will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment
- 1 Corinthians 3:16 ~
Know ye not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwells in you?… But when HE, the Spirit of truth, comes, HE will
guide you into all truth. HE will not speak on HIS own; HE will speak
only what HE hears, and HE will tell you what is yet to come. HE will
bring glory to me (Jesus) by taking from what is Mine and making it
known to you.
- 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 ~
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be
Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to
drink into one Spirit.
- Ephesians 1:13 ~ In whom
you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were
sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise
- Luke 24:49 ~ And,
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye ....,
until ye be endued with power from on high.
- Ephesians 5:18 ~ And
be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit
We believe because of Adam and Eve's rebellion and disobedience that
everyone's born with a sin nature, bent towards disobeying GOD and serving
the selfish wants of the flesh. As a result of sin we have
become eternally separated from GOD unless we allow the work of the
Holy Spirit to restore us back into fellowship with God the Father. We
have a choice to willingly confess that we are a sinner, admit we
can’t save ourselves, humbly ask God for forgiveness, and receive the
free gift of salvation from GOD then believe that the perfect blood
of Jesus Christ has covered our sins so that by faith alone and not
works we are ‘born again’!
- Romans 3:23 ~ For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
- John 3:5-7 ~ Jesus
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born
of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
- Titus 3:4-7 ~ But
after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to HIS mercy HE saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Which
HE shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That
being justified by HIS grace, we should be made heirs according to the
hope of eternal life.
- 1John 5:4 ~ For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
- John 10:9 ~ I (Jesus) am
the door: by ME if any man enter in, he shall be saved
- 1 Peter 1:18-19 ~
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as
of a lamb without blemish and without spot
- 1 Peter 2:24 ~ Who
his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were
healed.
