In the verbal and plenary inspiration
of the original manuscripts of the old and New Testaments,
which constitute the inerrant Word of God;
In
the Trinity of the Godhead: one God eternally existing in
the three equal Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
In
the deity, virgin birth sinless life, substitutionary death,
bodily resurrection and imminent, premillennial coming of
Christ.
In
the personality of the Holy Spirit by whom believers are
called, regenerated, baptized into Christ, indwelt, sealed
and filled for service;
In
the direct creation of the universe and man God apart from
any process of evolution;
In
the fall, total depravity and guilt of the race in Adam,
which for man’s salvation necessitates the sovereign, divinely
initiated deliverance of the sinner by the grace of God
in Christ;
In
God’s sovereign election;
In
the eternal salvation of all-individual who put their faith
in Christ, Whose blood was shed for the remission of sins:
In the unity of all believers in the Church which is the
Body of Christ is the Body of Christ of which. He is the
sole Head;
In
the local church as a company of baptized believers, independent
and self-governing, which should fellowship with other churches
to observed the ordinance of baptism and the Lord’s Super,
edify itself, and evangelize the word.
We
believe that the only biblical mode of believer’s baptism
is that of immersion, and that it is to be administered
in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The ordinance
of baptism is for believers only and it is a prerequisite
for church membership. The officers of a New Testament church
are pastors and deacons.
In
the priesthood of all believers and the right of every individual
to have direct dealings with God. In the obedience to the
biblical command to separate entirely from worldliness and
ecclesiastical apostasy unto God
In
the separation of church and state with each believers having
responsibilities to both; in the personal existence of angels,
demons and Satan… In the bodily resurrection, immortality
and pretribulation raptures of all believers at Christ’s
imminent coming:
In
the sovereign selection of Israel as God’s eternal covenant
people, now dispersed of her rejected of Christ, and later
to be regathered in the Holy Land, and saved as a nation
at the second advent of Christ
In
the distinction between the nation Israel as God’s earthly
covenant people, and the church as the spiritual Body of
Christ;
In
the resurrection and judgments of unbelievers after the
millennial reign of Christ;
In
the eternal life and blessedness of all believers in heaven
and the eternal existence and punishment of all unbelievers
in the lake of fire.
