What Do We Believe?
God and the Trinity
We believe there is but one living and true God, everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; Maker and Preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in the unity of this Godhead, there are three Persons of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power, and dignity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Christ
We believe that the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and the manhood were joined together in one Person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and perfect man, who actually suffered, was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile the Father to us, and to make atonement, not only for our actual guilt, but also for original sin.
Christ's Resurrection
We believe that Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again His body, with all things appertaining to the perfections of man's nature and ascended into heaven and there sits until He shall return to judge all men at the last day.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son; is of one substance, majesty, and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.
The Holy Scriptures
We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, known as the Bible, composed of sixty-six books and divided into two departments, Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible is the Word of God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and history of redemption.
The Future of Believers and Unbelievers
We believe we have eternal life through faith in Christ (John 3:14-16, 36); and that Christ has prepared a place for His own in Heaven (John 14:1-3). Dreadful as this truth may seem, we believe, and must so believe because of the consistent teach of God's Word, that "everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture (or punishment) in hell is the wages of the persistently wicked" (Psalm 9:17; Matthew 5:22, 29, 30; 18:9; 23:33; 25:41, 46; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 16:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9; Revelation 14:9-11; 20:11-15; 21:7, 8).
