Our Beliefs:
The Bible:
We believe the Old and New Testament are the very Word of God. (Matt. 5:18, John 16:12-13, 2 Tim 3:16-17, Heb. 1:1-2, and 2 Peter 1:20-21).
The Trinity:
We believe that God is one being, yet three persons [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit]. (Deut. 6:4, Matt. 28:19-20, and 2 Cor. 13:14).
Jesus Christ:
We believe He is the Son of God, born of a virgin, who died to redeem man, and physical resurrected from the dead, now reigns in heaven and is coming a king one day. (John 1:1-2, 14, Rom. 3:24-25, Eph. 1:7, Acts 1:9-10, Rom. 8:34, 1 Thess. 1:10, 4:13-18, 5:9, and Rev. 3:10, 19:11-16).
The Holy Spirit:
We believe that He is God, and that He is a person. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; He seals, indwells, and empowers the believer. (John 16:8-11, Rom. 8:9, 1 Cor. 12:12-14, and Eph. 1:13-14).
Man:
We believe man was created in the image and likeness of God, but man fell into sin, and is unable to help himself out of the fallen state he is in. (Gen. 1:26-27, Rom. 3:9-23, and Eph. 2:1-3).
Satan:
We believe Satan is a created being, the father of all lies, the open enemy of God, he and his follower well be cast into hell. (Job 1:6-7, Isaiah 14:12-17, Matt. 4:2-11, and Rev. 20:10).
Salvation:
We believe that salvation is a gift from God, it must be received personal by faith, once saved you are sealed and kept by God; assured by this we live for Him and not ourselves, even as we war with are old sinful nature.(John 1:12, Eph. 2:8-10, Rom. 8:1, Gal. 5:13, Rom. 6:13, 8:12-13, Gal. 5:16-25).
The Resurrection/Eternity:
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all humanity, those to eternal life, and those to eternal hell. The believer at the time of death is present with their Lord. The unbeliever at the time of death is in conscious misery through all eternity (Matt. 25:46, Rev. 20:5-6, Phil. 1:23, 3:21, Matt. 25:41-46, 2 Thess. 1:7-9, Rev. 20:11-15).
Dispensational:
We believe in the dispensational view of the Bible. That God dealt/deals with men throughout different ages; from Innocence (Gen. 1:26, Ecc. 7:29, Gen. 1:28), Conscience (Gen. 3:5, Rom. 2:14-15), Human government(Gen. 9:6, Rom. 13:1-5, 1 Tim. 2:1-3), Promise (Gen. 12:2-3, 17:1-8, 26:1-5), Law (Ex. 19:3-8, 24:3,7, Gal. 3:16-18), Grace (Eph. 3:1-7, 1:3, 2:11-17, Matt. 16:18, Acts 2:1-4), and Kingdom (Rev. 20:1-6, 11-15, Matt. 25:41).
The Church:
The local church is those that have been born again in Christ Jesus. The church is to preach the Word, worship, and give glory to God, practice the Lord’s Supper, Baptism, and make disciples of all nations.
The Resurrection/Eternity:
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all humanity, those to eternal life, and those to eternal hell. The believer at the time of death is present with their Lord. The unbeliever at the time of death is in conscious misery through all eternity.v
Matthew 25:46
These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Revelation 20:5-6
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Philippians 1:23
But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;
Philippians 3:21
who will transform [a]the body of our humble state into conformity with [b]the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
Matthew 25:41-46
“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
Revelation 20:11-15
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
