WE BELIEVE:

​

1. That there is one God creator of all things. (Mark 12:29 - 31; 1 Corinthians 8:4 - 6; Isaiah 43:10,11)

​

2. That God eternally exists in three distinct personalities the Father, the Son , and the Holy Spirit. The persons of the "Trinity" are equally God. (Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7,8; John 15:26)

​

3. That the Holy Bible is God's word and that it is the only 100% inspired book on earth.Any doctrine that cannot be supported by scripture is false. The 66 books of the Bible are complete. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21 The book of Isaiah)

​

4. That God created man in his image and likeness. God created Adam the first man and from Adam he created Eve the first woman. ( Genesis 1:26,27; 1 Corinthians 15:45,46; Genesis 3:20; Genesis 2:23)

​

5. That when Adam and Eve sinned, they lost fellowship with God and cursed all of their descendants. Men and women are born in a state of death and separation from God. ( Genesis 2:25 - 3:24; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22; Romans 5:15-21 )

​

6. That God, the Word, became flesh. Jesus Christ was and is God in the flesh. ( 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:1 - 17; John 8:56-58; John 20:28,29)

​

7. That Jesus was and is 100% man. ( John 5:26,27; Romans 5:15 )

​

8. That Jesus Christ was born of a Virgin. ( Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1: 18 -25; Luke 1:26 - 38)

​

9. That Jesus Christ was not born with a sin nature, and he lived a sinnless life. ( 1 Peter 1: 18 - 21; 1 Peter 2: 21,22 )

​

10. That Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried and then rose again the third day. Jesus was raised bodily and not as a "spirit" creature. ( 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; 1 Timothy 2:8; Luke 24:36 - 43; Mark 8: 29 - 31 )

​

11. That salvation is by grace through faith. Baptism, Sabbath observance, good works,church attendance etc. are not requirements to be born again. ( Titus 3:5 - 7; Ephesians 2: 8,9; Romans 10:8-10; Ephesians 1:13,14)

​

12. That the Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs at the time of salvation. This Baptism of fire is what recreates us. ( Matthew 3:11,12; Acts 11:16; Acts 1: 4,5 )

​

13. That the filling with the Holy Spirit occurs when we yield to the Holy Spirit and faith is the only evidence of this occurrence. When a believer is filled with the Holy Spirit "gifts" of the Spirit do not necessarily have to manifest. ( John 7:38,39; Ephesians 5:18,19)

​

14. That all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are in operation today. ( Acts 2:14 - 21; 1 Corinthians 13:9 - 10)

​

15. That a born again Christian cannot lose their salvation. ( John 10:27 - 30; John 5:24; John 6: 37 - 40; Romans 7:22 - 25; 1 John 3:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:10 ;1 Corinthians 3:15 Romans 11:29; )

​

16. That all believers should be baptized in obedience to scripture. ( Mark 16:16; Matthew 28:19,20)

​

17. That Jesus is the only savior. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5,6)

​

18. That the work of redemption was completed on the cross. Jesus did not have to be tormented in hell to complete His work (John 19:30; Luke 23:43; Luke 23:46; 1 Peter 2:24)

​

19. That those who reject Jesus Christ will one day be resurrected into a body fit to burn forever in the Lake of Fire. ( Revelations 20: 1 - 15; John 3:36; Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29 Matthew 7:22,23)

​

20. That those who accept Jesus Christ will one day be resurrected into a glorified body and will live forever and rein with Christ. (1 Corinthians 15: 50 - 58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13 - 18; Revelation 21:1 - 22:5)

NICENE CREED

​

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
