What we Believe:

The Scriptures

We believe that the Bible contains 66 books, among whom 39 of the Old Testament, and 27 of New Testament; both Old, and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and women and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and practice.

In one God

creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

That Jesus Christ

is true God and true man having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit

is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age, to convict men and women, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.

That mankind was created in the image of God

but fell into sin and is, therefore, lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained; also Man was originally created in the image of God, without sin. Because of disobedience, he sinned against God, and that was the cause of separation from God. The fall of Adam meant that all men are guilty and are condemned.

The nature of man is corrupt. For this reason, God sees men as dead spiritually. Every man be born again, and be transformed by the Holy Spirit.

SALVATION

The salvation of man is a complete gift that God gives freely – the man can not add anything to God’s grace. Those to which God gives salvation are called saints. It is those who put their trust in Jesus Christ, believe in Him as their Lord and personal Savior, and are called saints.

The Church;

God recommends that His people regularly meet to adore Him, praise Him, and to be strengthened and exhorted by the use of the Holy Scriptures.

Jesus Christ is the head of the Church which is His body –composed of all those living by faith when he returns and those who have died in Christ before he returns.

That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection

provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe. That the new birth comes only by grace through faith in Christ alone and that repentance is a vital part of believing, but is in no way in itself a separate and independent condition of salvation; nor are any other acts such as confession, baptism, prayer, or faithful service to be added to believing as a condition of salvation.

In the bodily resurrection of the dead

of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.

END of Time

When a believer dies, he enters directly into eternal communion with Jesus Christ, waiting, consciously, to be clothed with a new beautiful body at the day of resurrection. When an unbeliever dies, he enters the place of eternal separation from God, waiting, consciously, the resurrection of his body, the judgment, and the eternal punishment. We believe that Jesus Christ will return for the thousand years reign. This reign will be preceded by the first resurrection and the removal of the Church. The crowns will be given to the Saints at the time of this meeting with Jesus Christ in the air. After the Thousand years reign, the Saints will live eternally with God in Heaven
