We
Believe
in sola Scriptura, that is, Scripture is the sole infallible rule of faith
for the church. Scripture is sufficient above all things, hence the ultimate
authority and starting point for theology (2 Tim. 3:16-17 & 2 Pet.
3:16).
We
Believe
that Jesus Christ is the Eternal God, Creator of all things. He is of the
same substance (homoousios) as the Father. The Word became (egeneto) flesh.
"Perfect in Godhead and also Perfect in manhood; very God and very man
(Chalcedonian Creed) (John. 1:1; Col. 2:9; Tit. 2:13; Heb. 1:3).
We
Believe
the historical doctrine of the Trinity as delineated in the Athanasian
Creed: "We worship one God in trinity, and trinity in unity, neither
confounding the persons nor dividing the substance…" One Eternal God
revealed in three distinct Persons (Mat. 28:19; Heb. 1:3).
We
Believe
the Holy Spirit empowers the church for works of service (Acts. 1:8)
We
Believe
in Original sin, which is the result of the first sin in the Garden. The
unregenerate man is dead, morally corrupt, incapable of saving himself (Rom.
8:18-24; Eph. 2:1-10).
We
Believe
in the Atonement by means of one sacrifice on the cross. Jesus died in our
place paying the penalty of sin (Rom. 8:32; Heb. 10:11).
We
Believe
that Jesus Christ was physically resurrected (1 Cor. 15:3).
We
Believe
God saves infallibly. Salvation is solely by grace alone through faith
alone. Man can only be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. He can never merit or
add to his justification. Christians are credited as righteous through faith
alone. They are completely justified in Christ Jesus. Works are the fruit of
Salvation (John. 6:37-44; Rom. 4:1-8;5:1; Eph. 2:8).
We
Believe
in a literal Hell (Mat. 25:45; Rev. 14:10&11).
We
Believe
the church will be raptured to be with the Lord forever (1 Thes. 4:14-18).
