1. The Word of God
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the Bible, as in truth, The Word of God. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration in the original writings, and God’s preservation of His pure words to every generation. The Masoretic text of the Old Testament and the Received Text of the New Testament (Textus Receptus) are the texts that we accept and use. The King James Version of the Bible is the only English Version we use and accept. The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice.
(II Timothy 3:16, Psalms 12:6-8)

2. The Godhead
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons– The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfection.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, II Cor. 13:14)

3. The Person and work of Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might redeem sinful men through his finished work on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice. We believe that Jesus ascended to Heaven, and is now on the right hand of God the Father, where He fulfills the ministry of Intercessor and advocate.
(John 1:1-2, Luke 1:35, Isaiah 9:6, Romans 3:24-25, I Peter 2:24, I John 2:1-2)

4. The Person and work of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the person that reproves the world of sin, unrighteousness and judgement; and that He is the Supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing were temporary. We believe that speaking in tongues was never the common or necessary sign of the filling of the Holy Spirit and that ultimate deliverance of the body from sickness or death awaits the consummation of our salvation in the resurrection, though God frequently chooses to answer the prayers of believers for physical healing.
(John 16:8-11, Romans 8:9, Ephesians 1:13-14, II Corinthians 12:12, I Corinthians 13:8,
Hebrews 2:3-4)

5. Man
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God but that in Adam’s sin the whole race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image and is mindful of him, and that Christ died for man; therefore every individual possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
(Genesis 1:26, Romans 3:22-23, Eph 2:1-3, Psalm 8:-9, Colossians 3:9-11)

6. The Way of Salvation
We believe that the clear message of Salvation is repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21). We believe that salvation is “by grace” plus nothing minus nothing. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe that all of the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. I believe that eternal life is the present possession of every believer.
(Ephesians 2:8-10, John 1:12, I Peter 1:18-19, John 6:37-40, 10:27-30, Romans 8:1, 38-39,
I Corinthians 1:4-8, I Peter 1:4-5, Jude 1,2 )

7. The Church
We believe that the church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, was established by Jesus Christ and was empowered at Pentecost, and will be caught up to be with Christ at the Rapture. We believe that establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures (Acts 14:27, 20:17, 28:32, I Timothy 3:1-13,
Titus 1:5-11) We also believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any outside authority or control.
(Acts 13:1-4, 15:19-31, 20:28, Romans 16:1, I Corinthians 3:9,16, 5:4-7,13, I Peter 5:1-4)

8. The Ordinances of the Church
We recognize only two ordinances of the local church; baptism, by full immersion in water and the Lord’s Supper as a Scriptural means of testimony for the local church.
(Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:41-42, 18:18, I Corinthians 11:23-26)

9. Biblical Separation
We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring a reproach upon their Savior and Lord; and, that separation from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices and associations is commanded of God.
(II Timothy 3:1-5, Romans 12:1-2, 14:13, I John 2:15-17, II John 9-11, II Corinthians 6:14-7:1)

10. The Return of Christ
We believe that the “Blessed Hope” of our Lord’s return is literal, personal, visible, imminent, premillennial and pretribulational. He will rapture His church prior to the seven years of tribulation and at the end of the tribulation Christ will return with His saints to establish His thousand year reign on the earth.
(I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18, Titus 2:13, Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6, Zechariah 14:4-11, Psalm 89:3-4)

11. Our Eternal State
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgement and everlasting punishment. We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord. We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious misery until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited; they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgement and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting, conscious punishment.
(Matthew 25:41-46, Mark 9:43-48, John 5:28-29, 11:25-26, Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15, 12:13, II Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:23, 3:21, I Thessalonians 4:16-17, Luke 16:19-26, II Thessalonians 1:7-9, Jude 6-7)
