In the verbal, plenary inspiration of the original manuscripts of both the
Old and New Testaments and that they together constitute the inerrant and
infallible Word of God, and are the final authority in faith, in practice, and
in life.
In the Trinity of the Godhead; one God, eternally existent in Three Equal
Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; who created the universe and all that
is by direct creation and not evolution.
In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His being both true God and true
man; in His virgin birth, begotten in miraculous manner by the Holy Spirit; in
His sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and ascension
into heaven; in His personal, imminent, pre-tribulational and pre-millennial
coming again for His redeemed ones and in His Millennial Kingdom.
In the personality of the Holy Spirit, by whom believers are called,
regenerated, baptized into Christ, indwelt, endued, guided, taught, witnessed
to, sanctified, aided and filled for service.
In the fall, total depravity and guilt of the race of Adam, and because of
this, man is sinful by nature and choice, must individually and personally
repent of sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, such faith and
repentance being the only requisites of salvation; and that it is only the
shed blood of Jesus Christ that provides such an atonement for sin. That every
saved person possesses two natures, with the power of the indwelling Holy
Spirit, and that all claims to the eradication of the old nature in this life
are unscriptural.
In the local church as being a company of regenerated baptized (immersed)
believers, independent and self-governing, with voluntary fellowship and
cooperation among churches of like faith; in the responsibility of every local
church to observe the two ordinances which the Lord has committed to us,
namely:
Baptism, by immersion, as the Word indicates, of the believer in water as
the Lord commands;
The Lord's Supper, as a memorial of the death of Christ until He comes;
and to edify itself and evangelize the world.
In the existence of Satan as a personality, angels and demons.
In the complete separation of Church and State; in the separation of the
local church from the combined meetings with all organizations or groups who
deny the inspiration of the scriptures, the Deity of Christ, in the separation
of the believer unto God, and from the world and ecclesiastical apostasy.
That it is a privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their
salvation through the testimony of their salvation through the testimony of
God's Word; which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an
occasion to the flesh.
In the dispensational view of Bible interpretation, but reject the extreme
teaching of "hyper-dispensationalism", such as that teaching which opposes
either the Lord's table or water baptism as a scriptural means of testimony
for the church in this age.
In the bodily resurrection, immortality, and pre-tribulational rapture of
all believers at Christ's imminent coming; in the bodily resurrection and
judgment of all unbelievers after the millennial reign of Christ; in the
eternal life and blessedness of all believers and the eternal existence and
punishment (and not annihilation) of all unbelievers.
We believe in the future restoration of the Jews in their own land, also
in the setting up of a Kingdom of Righteousness, on earth, by our Lord Jesus
Christ, who shall then be King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
