Organizational Statement of Faith

 The Bible is the inspired word of God, the written record of His supernatural revelation of Himself to man, absolute in authority, complete in its revelation, final in its content, and without error in the original writings and its teaching; All men in their natural state are lost, alienated from God, spiritually dead: All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23); Salvation is only by grace, a free gift of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus, who died for our sins according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3). Those who thus receive Christ by faith have their sins forgiven (Eph. 1:7), their hearts cleansed (Acts 15:9), are born of the Spirit, become children of God (Jn. 1:12,13), and are made new creatures in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17); God is One God, Who reveals Himself in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus as the Scriptures affirm, is the Son of God and Son of man, was born of a virgin, and himself very God. The Scriptures also declare the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit; Our Lord Jesus rose from the dead in the same body that was laid to rest in the tomb Jn. 20:25-27); The bodies of all believers who die will be raised from the dead, and they will receive an incorruptible body like unto his glorious body (1 Cor. 15:53; Phil. 3:21). All men shall be raised unto theresurrection of judgment (Jn. 5:28-29); Christians, born of the Spirit, are to live the new life in the present power of the Spirit. we ... live in the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-25; Col. 2:6). The Christian's responsibility is to undergo water baptism and his normal attitude of life is to yield himself to God (Rom. 6:13), trusting god to keep him; Christian living includes Christian service, the winning of souls around us, and the preaching of the Gospel in the uttermost parts of the earth. In carrying on this work there is needed a supernatural power of the Holy Spirit which is granted to every believer as he yields and trusts (Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 12:7; Eph. 3:20; Acts 5:23). And in all this service, prayer is to have a central place (Jn. 14:12-14; Eph. 6:18-19); Jesus will come again to earth a second time (Heb. 9:28), personally (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16), bodily (Acts 1:11; Col. 2:9), visibly (Mt. 26:64; Rev. 1:7). His coming will precede the age of universal peace and righteousness, foretold in the Scriptures (Mt. 24:29, 30, 42; 1 Thess. 2:7,8; Rev. 20:1-6).
