Statement Of Faith
|
- We believe that there is one supreme and eternal God
consisting of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are
one. (Genesis 1:26, John 1:1, Ephesians 2:22, 1 John
4:15, John 15:26, John 16:13-15)
- We believe that God made all things for His glory and
that He governs and will finally judge the world. (John
1:3-4, John 5:22-23, Acts 10:42)
- We believe that God made man upright and holy, but by
his own free will and choice he sinned and fell, both he and all his
descendants. (Gen. 1:26-27, Gen. 2:16-17, Gen 3:6, Gen.
16-19, Romans 5 12:15)
- We believe all human family have sinned and are
inclined to evil. (Romans 3:23)
- We believe that Jesus Christ made a full and complete
atonement for sin, so that whosoever believeth in Him shall be saved.
(Romans 5:11, 1 John 2:2, John 3:16-17, 2 Cor. 5:18-21, 1
Tim. 2:3-6)
- We believe that in the church of Christ there are
but two standing ordinances, "Baptism"
and "The Lord's Supper" and
that all members of Christ's church are under obligation to observe
them. (Matthew 3:13-16, Mark 1:4-12, Luke 3:15-23,
John 1:29-34, Acts 10:47-48, Lord's Supper, 1 Corinthians
11:17-33; Baptism, Romans 6:1-11)
- We believe that immersion is the only mode, and
believers are the proper subjects of gospel baptism.
(Acts 2:38-42, John 3:3, Mark 16:16, Romans 6:3-4, 1 Corinthiams 12:13,
Col. 2:12, Acts 8:12,36,37 Acts 10:43,44,47, Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew
3:13-16, John 3:23)
- We believe that the scriptural officers of the
church are the pastor and deacons, whose qualifications, claims and
duties are defined in the Epistles of Timothy and
Titus. (1 Timothy 3:2-12, Titus 1:6-9)
- We believe the scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments are the infallible Word of God given by inspiration and
contain the whole duty of man. (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20,
Eccl. 12:13, Matthew 5:18)
- We believe the soul is immortal and at the
resurrection will be united with the body. (1 Cor. 15:35-53)
- We believe that immediately upon resurrection there
will be a general judgement, when God will bring every work unto
judgement whether it be good or evil. (1 Corinthians
3:11-15, 2 Corinthians 5:10-13, Eccl. 12:14)
- We believe that the wicked will be punished with
everlasting punishment and the righteous blessed with eternal life.
(Matthew 25:46, Revelation)
