of Doctrine
We believe:Statement
That the Bible, consisting of all the Books of the Old and New Testament, is
the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation without error or misstate-
ment in moral and spiritual teachings and record of historical facts.
In the Trinity- that the eternal God manifests Himself in three persons: God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one
God, but separate in personality and work.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in
his miracles, in his vicarious death and atonement through his shed blood, in
his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in
his personal and visible return in power and glory.
That man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and
fell, and that, because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration
by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for salvation.
That the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, though omnipresent from
all eternity, took up his abode in the world in a special sense on the day of Pente-
cost according to the divine promise and dwells in every believer and that the
gifts of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit in the lives of believers are visible
demonstrations of his presence.
In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved
unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation.
That God's plan for this age as expressed in the great commission involves the
evangelization of the world through the witness of every believer in Jesus Christ
the making of disciples through the teaching of his Word in the local church as
a means of accomplishing his purpose.
