Statement of Faith

The Holy Bible (66 books) is the infallible, inerrant and inspired word of GOD. It is the final authority in all matters of doctrine and faith above all human authority; and is the supreme standard by which all human conduct will be judged (II Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 119:160; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5).

There is one eternal, almighty and perfect GOD existent in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; with distinct personal attributes but without division of nature, essence, or being (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 John 1:5; Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 45:5; Matthew 28:19).

Jesus Christ is the only way of true salvation. He was born of a virgin, received a human body and was completely sinless, without ever ceasing to be GOD. He became the divinely provided sacrificial Lamb, and He arose from the dead in three full days with all power and authority. He is The Head over all things in The Church, which is His Body. No one can enter the Kingdom of GOD unless born again spiritually which comes only through sincere repentance, submission and faith in The Lord Jesus Christ (John. 1:1-3, 14; Matthew 1:21-23; John 19; Luke 24:36-53, Hebrews 4:15; Ephesians 1:20-23; John 14:6; John 3:3).

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom, which will occur at an undisclosed time (Matthew 24:30; Philippians 2:20; I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 1:5-8).

The Holy Spirit dwells in every true believer who places his or her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He leads to all truth, guides, convicts/corrects, comforts, and provides power to live a submitted Christian life (John 14:15-17, 26; John 16:13; Acts 2:38, Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:16-25, Romans 8:9).

The Church (Ekklesia) is The Body of Christ (all who are truly saved), and it is not based on race, color or ethnicity (John 1:12-13; Ephesians 4:4-6; Galatians 3:28-29). Local gatherings of The Body of Christ are where Believers are taught, discipled, encouraged, and build up one another in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:47; Acts 11:26; Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Romans 12:5; Hebrews 10:25).

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto Jesus. The Bible teaches without holiness, no man can see the Lord, and sanctification is a definite, yet progressive work of grace, beginning at salvation and continuing until the return of Christ (Hebrews 12:14; I Thessalonians 5:23; II Peter 3:18; II Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14; I Corinthians 1:30). 1 Peter 1:1; Romans 12:1,2; I Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12).

There are a variety of spiritual gifts, still in operation today, for the work of The Gospel and to build and sanctify The Church. These gifts are to always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and never be in violation of Biblical doctrine and parameters (1 Corinthians 12:4-31; Hebrews 2:4; Ephesians 4:16; II Timothy 1:5-7; I Peter 4:10).

Both heaven and hell are real physical places reserved for different groups.

• Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all true and faithful believers in The Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; II Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; I Peter 1:4).

• Hell is a place of eternal torment and damnation for the Devil, his fallen angels, and those who’ve rejected the true Messiah Jesus Christ and His commandments (Matthew 25:41; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:11-15, 21:8).
