Articles of Faith
• We Believe the Bible to be inspired; the only infallible authoritative Word of God. (II Tim 3:16; Gal 1:6-12)
• We believe that there is one God, who chose to glorify himself through His Son, Jesus Christ, that anyone who believes in Him will have eternal life. (Deut 6:4; I Tim 2:5; Eph 4:5-6; Isaiah 44:6; 45:5)
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the throne of Heaven, and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1-4; 1:9-14; Luke 1:26-38; Heb 4:15; I Peter 2:22; The Gospels and Acts; Hebrews 9:22-28; Matt 16:21; Matt 28:2-7; Marc 16:19-20; Matt 24:30; Matt 24:36-39)
• We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential. (John 1:12-13)
• We believe that justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. (John 3:15-16)
• We believe in sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the word, and by the Holy Ghost. (Eph 2:8-9)
• We believe that the full Gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing for the body and the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 2:4;2:38; I Peter 1:16)

• We believe in the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. (I Thess 4:16; Rev 20; Matt 28:19)
