I
believe in One God, the Creator of all things, visible I
believe that within the nature of the One True God, there are
three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are coequal in
power, nature and eternity.
I
believe that Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God, but the Son of
Man, who was born into this world of a virgin, lived as a man among men,
suffered and died for our sins and was physically and literally resurrected
from the dead, that He ascended back to Heaven and is alive today, seated at
the right hand of the Father. He Himself is the King of Kings and the Lord of
Lords, the one to whom every knee shall one day bow.
I
believe that all mankind is helplessly lost, separated from God, and
that the only path to reconciliation with God is personal faith in Jesus Christ
as Savior. Salvation is therefore the free gift of eternal life, bought and
paid for by the death of Christ on the cross.
I
believe that Jesus Christ will one day return physically and literally
to this world at the climax of the age, at which time the dead of all time will
be raised and judged according to God’s mercy and righteousness.
I
believe that the Holy Spirit is at work in the world today revealing
Jesus Christ, convicting of sin, and empowering the Church. I believe in the
miraculous work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian as proclaimed
in the scripture and lived out down through the ages. What the Holy Spirit did
in the time of the Apostles, He desires to do today!
I
believe that the Bible is a gift from God, written by men who were moved
by the Holy Spirit. I can think of no better proclamation that what the
scripture itself gives us in regard to our faith concerning the Bible:
“All
scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate,
equipped for every good work.”
-II Timothy 3:16-17
I
believe in One Church, comprised of all true believers in Jesus Christ,
regardless of race, or denominational creed, and that Jesus Christ Himself is
the Head and Lord of this Church.
