What We Believe

THE BIBLE IS THE TRUE AND FAITHFUL WORD OF GOD....
preserved for man in his languages. The authorized King James Bible is the word of God for English speaking people - it is the final authority for all doctrine, practice and faith.
     - I Peter 1:25 "But the word of the Lord endureth forever.  And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."    
     - Hebrews 4:12 says, "for the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


JESUS CHRIST IS THE VERY SON OF GOD....
He was born of a virgin, lived a perfect sinless life and shed his blood that the souls of all men might be saved.
     -  Matthew 3:17 "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."    
     - 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.


ALL ARE SINNERS AND NEED SALVATION....
The bible teaches clearly that the soul of man is fallen and must be redeemed.

     - Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God:"
     - Romans 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."   
     - Romans 10:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."


SALVATION BY GRACE....
Jesus Christ paid the cost of man's redemption; God the Father asks only that you repent, and believe the testimony of his Son.

   - Ephesians 2:8-9 " For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should
boast."
 
BAPTISM IS IMMERSION IN WATER....
by proper authority, of a person who has professed a saving faith in Jesus Christ. This immersion is a picture of Christ's death, burial and resurrection. Baptism has no power to save a soul. Only through proper baptism can you become a church member.    
     - Acts 2:41 " Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day were added unto them about 3000 souls."

THE LORD’S SUPPER IS ....
A church ordinance to be observed by the members of the
local church in remembrance of the Lord’s death until He returns, and as such
has no soul saving power.  The  pure grape juice and unleavened bread picture
Jesus’ purity and sinlessness. 
       -
I Corinthians 11:18-34


SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER....
A saved person is an adopted child of God, with all the rights and privileges of a child of the King! It is impossible once a person is redeemed to "lose" the salvation of God.    
     - John 10:28 " And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
 
LOCAL VISIBLE CHURCH....
The Church that Jesus built during his ministry on earth is local and visible. The church is never invisible or "universal".  In Matthew 16:18 Jesus Christ promised that his Church would exist for all time, He commissioned the Church, he loved it and died for it; the Church has authority on earth to fulfill his great commission...Matthew 28:19-20.  Also see Ephesians 5:21,25 and I Timothy 3:15.


LOCAL CHURCH MISSIONS....
It is God's plan, through the Great Commission, for churches to start churches. Missionaries are qualified men sent out under the authority of a local church for the sole purpose of starting more churches.
     - Matthew 28:19-20
     - Acts 1:8
     - Acts 13:4
     - Acts 14:27
     - Acts 15:36
