The Bible is the perfect Word of God. It is holy and inspired by God. It is God's only written

source and final authority in knowing God and His will. (2 Timothy 3:15-16)

 

The Bible, more specifically, the books of the Old and New Testaments. The Word of God is fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is inerrant and infallible in the original manuscripts.

 

There is one God, eternally revealed in three persons-- The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)

 

All parts of the trinity are equally and fully divine.

 

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and then took all our sins upon Himself on the cross. His death on the cross paid the penalty God has set for our sins. He rose from the grave, ascended back into heaven, and is at the right hand of the Father in heaven working as our mediator and advocate. He is returning to earth to judge all mankind, the living and the dead, and will set up His promised eternal kingdom. (John 1:14)

 

Jesus Christ is God incarnate, and is the only mediator between God and man unto salvation. He continually intercedes on our behalf. Jesus atoned for the sins of men through His substitutionary death on the cross, through His death He satisfied God's wrath and accomplished salvation for all who trust in Him alone.

 

That every person everywhere has been separated from God by willfully choosing to sin and will face the judgment of God. (Romans 3:23)

 

Man's nature is corrupted, and he is completely unable to please God. The only hope is the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.

 

Heaven is a real place and is the eternal destiny for those people who have been made right with God through Jesus Christ. (John 14:1-3) Hell is a real place created for the Devil and his demons. All people who die without Christ will also be sentenced to hell for eternity.To go to heaven a person must accept Jesus Christ to receive God's love and forgiveness, demonstrated and offered to every person, by God, only through His Son Jesus Christ who shed His blood on the cross of Calvary. (Romans 6:23)

 

Salvation is a work of God's free grace and is not through any work of man, in part or in full. God imputes His righteousness to those who have faith in Christ alone for their salvation. Assurance of salvation is not based upon human merit, but is based solely on God's faithfulness.

 

Every Christian is born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Every Christian possesses the Holy Spirit as God's redeeming presence and regenerating power in their life. Every Christian should seek everyday to be filled and led by the Holy Spirit continually.

 

The Holy Spirit came into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to regenerate lost souls. He continually is convicting and drawing sinners to Christ, imparting new life, and continually indwells them. Every believer is predestined for sanctification through daily living in the power of the indwelling Spirit.

 

Every Christian is to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ which is God's design and desire for their destiny. (Romans 8:28-29)

 

Every Christian should dedicate themselves to serve Jesus Christ. We must submit to His authority over our lives and to His pupose in our lives.

 

Every Christian should have compassion and concern for the well being of every person, putting others before themselves.

 

The way God has chosen to accomplish His purposes is through His Church, the Body of Christ, working together in local congregations in every community but also working as One Body everywhere.

 

Jesus Christ commands that all believers proclaim the Gospel. God's purpose is to bring glory to Himself by drawing men unto Himself-- by the preaching of the good news. The fulfillment of the Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us."
