We believe that it is the obligation of the saved to witness by life and by word to the truths of Holy Scripture and to seek to proclaim
the Gospel to all mankind and to make disciples from among all nations, to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, and to teach them to observe all things whatsoever He has commanded (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:19,20).
a. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ gives the Church evangelists and pastor-teachers. These gifted men are to equip the saints
for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:7-14).
b. We believe the Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts upon believers for Christian
service and the edification of the Church (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10,11).
c. We believe the Church Age
was initiated through the ministry of the apostles and prophets accompanied by sign gifts to confirm their message. These sign
gifts gradually ceased by the time of the completion of the New Testament (1 Corinthians 12:28-31;
13:8-10; 14:1-28; 2 Corinthians
12:12; Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 2:3,4).
d. We believe God hears and answers prayer in accord with His own will for healing
of the sick and afflicted (John 14:13,14; 15:7; 1 John 5:14,15).
a. We believe the Scriptures interpreted in their natural, literal sense reveal Divinely determined dispensations which define man's
responsibility in successive ages. A dispensation is not a way of salvation, but a Divinely ordered stewardship by which God
directs man according to His purpose (John 1:17; 1 Corinthians 9:17; 2 Corinthians 3:9-18; Galatians 3:13-25; Ephesians 1:10; 3:2-10;
Colossians 1:24,25; Hebrews 7:19;
Revelation 20:2-6).
b. We believe salvation is always by grace through faith regardless of
the dispensation in which the believer may have lived. God's purpose of salvation by grace alone through faith alone has always
been based upon the substitutionary atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross (Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 11:6; 1 Peter 1:10-12).
We believe Satan is a created being, the author of sin, the tempter in the fall, the declared enemy of God and man, and the god of
this age. He shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Job 1:6,7; Isaiah 14:12-17; Matthew 4:2-11; 25:41; Revelation
20:10).
We believe in the personal, imminent, pretribulational and premillennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones.
We believe that at the end of the seven-year tribulation He will return to earth with the saints in power and glory to reign for a
thousand years (Zechariah 14:4-11; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:9; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10;
19:11-16; 20:1-6).
a. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men: the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment
(Matthew 25:46; John 5:28,29; 11:25,26; Revelation 20:5,6,12,13).
b. We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death,
absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection when spirit, soul, and
body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; Revelation
20:4-6; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; 3:23;
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).
c. We believe the souls of unbelievers are, at death, absent from the body and in conscious misery
until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgment and shall be
cast into the lake of fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting conscious punishment (Luke 16:19-26; Matthew 25:41-46;
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Jude 6,7; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 20:11-15).
We believe the triune God, by a free act and for His own glory, without the use of existing materials or secondary causes, brought
into being -- immediately and instantaneously in six literal days by the word of His mouth -- the whole universe (Genesis 1:1-27;
Exodus 20:8-11; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 104:25,26; Isaiah 40:21-31; John 1:1-5; Colossians 1:16,17).
a. We believe the saved should be separated unto the Lord Jesus Christ, necessitating holy living in all personal and ecclesiastical
associations and relationships.
b. It is the believer's responsibility to endeavor to maintain the unity of the faith while separating
from apostasy and those who have deviated from Biblical doctrine and behavior. Every proposed alliance must be considered in
the light of our commitment to Biblical separation (Romans 12:1,2; 14:13; 1 Corinthians 6:19,20; Titus 2:14; James 4:4,5; 1 Peter
2:9-11; 1 John 2:15-17; Matthew 18:15-17; Romans 16:17; 1 Corinthians 5:7-11;
2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Ephesians 4:1-6; 2 Thessalonians
3:11-14; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Titus 3:10; 2 John 9-11).
