Jesus Christ
God the Father, by His own choice and out of love for sinful men
and women, sent Jesus Christ into the world to reconcile sinners
to Himself. Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and
born of a virgin. He is God in the flesh, both true God and true
man. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and voluntarily suffered and
died as our substitute to pay the penalty for our sins, thus
satisfying God's justice and accomplishing salvation for all who
trust in Him alone. He rose from the dead in the same body,
though glorified, in which He lived and died. He bodily ascended
into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father,
where He, the only mediator between God and man, makes
intercession for His own. He will return to earth personally, visibly
and bodily - to judge all men and establish His kingdom.
Salvation
Men and women are freed from the penalty for their sins not as a
result, in whole or in part, of their own works, goodness or
religious ceremony, but by the undeserved favor of God alone.
God declares righteous all who put their faith in Christ alone for
their salvation.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify
Christ, to convict men and women of their sins, and to impart new
life to all who place their faith in Christ. He indwells believers from
the moment of spiritual birth, seals them until the day of
redemption and empowers them to live a life
pleasing to God.
The Scripture
The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, the 66 books of the
Old and New Testaments. It was uniquely,verbally and fully
inspired by the Holy Spirit and was written without error in
the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority
in faith and life in every age.
God
There is but one God, infinite in power, wisdom, justice,
goodness and love, the Creator of the universe, eternally
existing in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit each
of whom possesses all the attributes of Deity and the
characteristics of personality.
Man
God created man in His own image, and man, as he was
originally created, was innocent before God. But man chose
tosin by disobeying God, and therefore was alienated from
his Creator and came under divine condemnation. Thus all
humanbeings are born with a corrupted nature and without
spiritual life, and are totally incapable of pleasing God in and
of themselves.
