The Scriptures: The Bible, in the original language, is God's only inspired, infallible and authoritative word. It is with out error in all it teaches including theology, doctrine, history and the cosmos. The Bible is a completely sufficient guide to full salvation. It has been completely and adequately translated into English.
The Godhead: There is one God who is infinite, eternal and immutable. God has always and will always have a triune nature. Scripture has revealed that there is one God who exists in three co-equal personages. God is self-existent. He was neither created nor was there anything before him. He is not a part of the universe rather the entirety of the universe was created by him. All of the Godhead is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and sovereign.
God the Father: The Father is spirit without physical form, who must be worshiped “in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) His holy righteousness requires payment for sin; but in His perfect love he sent His Son to satisfy our debt.
The Person of Jesus: Jesus Christ is deity, God manifest in the flesh, both wholly man and wholly God. He was born of a virgin, lived a perfect sinless life in perfect submission to Old Testament law, performed miracles, provided substitutionary atonement for sin through his death on the cross, was bodily resurrected from the dead on the third day, ascended to the right hand of the Father and will personally return in power and glory.
The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a personage of the Trinity, co-equal with the Father and the Son in all attributes of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit currently has a personal ministry indwelling those who believe, empowering them in their submission to live for the glory of God.
The Fall of Man: Man is created in God's image. Through the transgression of Adam, sin entered the world. Therefore, all are born with a sinful nature and “ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Without spiritual rebirth, humanity is already condemned to an eternity of hopeless separation from God.
The Redemption of Man: Salvation from our sin is obtained entirely by grace through faith, paid for by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. No good works, no matter how exemplary, will earn salvation. It is a free gift from God to those who are willing to except it. As a result of true redemption, the redeemed will do good works not for redemption but as a result of redemption.
The Church: Those who are redeemed are the Church. The Church is not a building nor a denomination but the people who have dedicated their lives to our Lord and Savior. Salvation does not come through the church, but rather those who are already saved constitute the Church.
The Resurrection of Man: There will be a physical resurrection of both the saved and unsaved. Those who are saved will be resurrected to everlasting life with God. Those who are unsaved will be resurrected to everlasting damnation.
The Eternal Punishment: “It is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27) The person who dies without accepting Christ as their savior while on this earth will suffer eternal separation from God in the Lake of Fire. After death there is no longer hope of repentance. We must accept God's free gift of salvation while in this existence or face the everlasting consequences of our rebellion.
