We believe the old and New Testament Scriptures are the verbally and plenarily inspired word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed and are, therefore, the final authority for faith and life. The sixtysix books of the old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to man. (2nd Timothy 3:16-17; 2nd Peter 1:20-21)
We believe in mid Acts dispensational theology. We believe that the Scriptures interpreted in their natural literal sense reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules of life that define man's responsibility in successive ages. These dispensations are not ways of salvation, but rather are divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs man according to his purpose. (Ephesians 3:1-10, Colossians 1:24-27, Romans 16:25, 2nd Timothy 2:15)
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit-each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. (1st John 5:7, Matthew 3:16-17, 2nd Corinthians 13:14)
(1) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that he might reveal God and redeem sinful men. (Isaiah 7:14;9:6; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2:14:2; 2nd Corinthians 5:19-21; Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:5-8)
(2) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. (Acts 2:18-36; Romans 3:24-25; Ephesians1:7; 1st Peter 2:24; 1st Peter 1:3-5)
(3) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God as our Savior, Mediator, and Glorified head of the body of Christ. (Titus 2:13; 1st Timothy 2:5; Colossians 1:24)
(1) We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and, that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the Body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. (John 16:8-11; Romans 8:9; 1st Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 4:30)
(2) We believe that he is the divine Teacher who assists believers to understand and appropriate the Scriptures and that it is the privilege of all the saved to be filled with the Spirit. (Ephesians 1:17-18; 5:18; 1st John 2:20,27)
(3) We believe that God is sovereign in the bestowal of spiritual gifts to every believer. God uniquely uses evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip believers in the church to do the work of the ministry. (Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 4:7-12)
(4) We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary. (1st Corinthians 1:22; 13:8; 14:21-22)
