We believe that the bible is the only inspired, written word of God. The words spoken from God were penned by men as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 2:7-14; II Peter 1:20-21).
According to scripture, we believe that the word of God is impartial and stands alone; needs no confirmation or reinforcement from any other book or revelation outside the Holy Scriptures. The scripture is God’s revelation to mankind, God breathed, and a perfect encryption of God’s thoughts and expressions. While interpretations may vary, careful study of the word of God, along with the working of the Holy Spirit will lead to accurate, spirit led understanding and revelation.
The word of God, taught in purity and accuracy is the way of life for those who profess Jesus as Lord. The proof of the word working is the desire and ambition of the believer to embrace scripture in truth. Within this acceptance is:
The doctrine of salvation by grace through faith.
The working of the Holy Spirit according to scripture.
Water baptism, at the age of accountability, not infancy, as an act of obedience and public confession that you have been buried and raised with Jesus Christ into a new life.
The gifts of the Spirit, according to the will and divine purpose of God.
The life of a believer (in purity and holiness, separate from sin and worldly influence).
Eternity and its consequences.
The penalty of sin
The gift of God
God
We affirm and do believe, that according to scripture, there is only one true and living God. God, the creator of the universe, eternally exists in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. readmore
