NON-NEGOTIABLE TRUTHS
We believe there is only one God who is eternal and unchanging in His nature. We affirm that God is the creator of all things, and we believe that man was created in His image. Genesis 2: 1-25; Hebrews 11:3;
Colossians 1:16 - 17
We believe there is one God who is manifested as three distinct persons: God the father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Manifest: To make evident by showing)
Deuteronomy 6:4; II Corinthians 13:14; John 14:16, 26; Matthew 28:19
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, revealed through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the source of all truth and wisdom, is without error, and is applicable for all matters of life.
II Timothy 3:14-17; II Peter 1:21; Hebrews 4:12;
I Thessalonians 1:5, 2:13
We believe that all people are born with a sin nature and sin by choice. The consequence of our sin is separation from God, resulting in both physical and spiritual death. We believe that unless one professes and accepts Jesus Christ as Savior, that person will be permanently separated from God in hell (eternal death).
John 3:3; Revelation 20:10,14,15; Romans 5:12, 3:23
We believe God offers salvation as a free gift that comes only through repentance and faith (trust) in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Salvation brings forgiveness of sin, new life, and eternal life in heaven. Eternal life has two important elements:
Quality New life has meaning and purpose.
Quantity: Life forever and forever.
John 3:16,17; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 10:9,10; Acts 16:31; Luke 13:3; II Corinthians 7:10; 1 John 5:12,13; Romans 6:23; John 10:10;
Hebrews 5:9;
We believe that we should put forth every effort to be (individually and corporately) morally and spiritually blameless in mind, heart, and conduct before God and man, realizing that apart from God we can do nothing.
Psalm 7:8,9; Psalm 26:2,11; Proverbs 2:7,8;
Philippians 2:14,15; Philippians 1:27; John 15:5
We believe because of their salvation through Jesus Christ, true believers are sealed by the power of God and guaranteed an inheritance, which is eternal life.
1Peter 1:3-5; John 3:16; Romans 8:35,39; John 3:6; 1 John 5:11-13; John 10:28,29; II Corinthians 1:21,22;
Ephesians 1:13-14; 1Peter 1:3,4
We believe through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ each believer has the privilege and responsibility to confidently approach the throne of God to seek forgiveness, healing, and direction for life, and to pray for others in Jesus name.
Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 10:19-22; I Peter 2:9
We believe Christians are commanded by Jesus Christ to go into all the world sharing the gospel, teaching, baptizing, and discipling people to become committed followers of Him. This can only be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15-16
We believe that Jesus will return again, at God’s appointed time, as reigning King of Kings and Lord of Lords over all things.
Acts 1:6,7; John 14:2,3; I Thessalonians 5:2,3;
Revelation 16:15
We believe Jesus Christ experienced physical death, was buried, was raised in bodily form in victory over sin, death, and the grave, and is now seated at the right hand of God. His resurrection guarantees the resurrection of all believers.
I Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 6:3,6; John 11:25,26; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:3; I Corinthians 15:55-57;
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
