Doctrinally,
this ministry shall be based upon the following confession of
faith:
1.
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as
inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and that
they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. II
Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:21.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 14, 10, 13,
16-17, 26; II Corinthians 13:14.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten son, by the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Marry, and is true God and true man.
Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 1:35; John 17:11 and 21.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he
sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also
that Spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all
human beings are born with a sinful nature; and, in the case of
those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought,
word, and deed. Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7; Jeremiah 17:9; Ezekiel 18:4
Romans 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:3.
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins,
according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitution
sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the
ground of His shed blood. Isaiah 53:6; John 3:16; Romans 5:9, 12,
6:23; I Corinthians 15:3,21;
I Peter 2:24.
6. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our
Lord, in His Ascension into heaven, and in His present life there
for us, as High Priest and Advocate. Luke 24:6; Acts 1:9; Hebrews
4:14, 10:12.
7. We believe “that blessed hope" the personal return of
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. John 14:3; Acts 1:11; I
Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 1:7.
8. We believe that all receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are
born again of the Holy Spirit, and, thereby, become children of
God. John 1:12-13, 3:3; I Peter 1:23.
