THE BIBLE-
I BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED, INFALLABLE, VERY WORD OF GOD
TRINITY -
I believe that God is a person, eternally existing as a Trinity, manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I further believe that these three are one God, but separate in personality and work.
JESUS CHRIST -
I believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He lived
a sinless life, whose death on the cross was both sufficient and substitutionary for the sins of the whole world. After making
atonement for the sins of the world, with His own blood, He ascended into Heaven with a glorified body where He is seated
at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our High Priest.
SALVATION -
I believe that man is lost in sin and must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. We believe that for lost and sinful
men, regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential. The salvation of a man's soul is by grace alone through repentance
and personal faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross.
SECOND COMING -
I believe the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any moment to rapture His church and to reward their
service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a seven year period called the Tribulation, after which Christ shall
return visibly to the earth with His saints to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the
unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God
forever, while believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord.
