Creation
5. Creation
We believe as it is written in scripture that all things whether be seen or unseen exist because of God. For by him were all things created ,that are in the heaven, and that are in the earth visible and invisible , whether they be thrones ,or dominions ,or principalities ,or powers :all things were created by him,and for him. And he is before all things,and by him all things consist.In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God .All things were made by him;and without him was not any thing made that was made.(Colossians 1:16,17 John 1:3 Genesis 1:1)
6. Man
We believe that God is the creator of Heaven and Earth and all life and that Man was made in the image of God.Man was created in innocence but by willful transgression of the law of God he fell from his sinless state.(Genesis 1:27 Isaiah 53:6 Romans 3:23 Romans 5:19)
7. Salvation
Salvation of sinners is wholly the work of Christ he is the mediator between us and God and in order to receive Salvation one needs to repent and ask for forgiveness. There was a man of the Pharisees,named Nicodemas,a ruler of the Jews. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi,we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.Jesus answered and said unto him ,Verily, verily, I say unto thee,Except a man be born again ,he cannot see the kingdom of God.Then and only then can you experience the new birth and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. The scripture simply says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,thou shalt be saved. (1Timothy 2:5 Romans 10:9 John3:3)
The Church
8. We believe the Church is the visible body of Christ having many members and observing the ordinances of Christ,governed by his laws,exercising the gifts,rights and privileges invested in them by His Word.The Church is literally God’s hands,feet and voice reaching out to the world.
9. Baptism and Lords supper
We believe the scriptures teach that baptism is the immersion of the believer in water and that it is an outward show of our faith and commitment to our crucified ,buried and risen Savior.Know ye not,that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,even so we also should walk in newness of life.For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of resurrection.Knowing this ,that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.(Romans 5:4,5,6 1Corinthians 11:23-28 Acts 8:36-39)
10. The Eternal State
All those who decide or refuse to accept God’s mercy will spend eternity in an everlasting punishment for ever separated from God and his love.The scriptures teach that all those that accepted and received by faith Jesus Christ are justified and will spend their eternity in full enjoyment in God’s presence.(Psalm 16:11 Mathew 25:46)
11. Satan
We believe the scriptures teach that there is a personal devil who is “the god of this age; the prince of power of the air” who is full of subtlety; who seeks continually to frustrate the purposes of God and ensnare the sons of men.(Ephesians 2:2 2Corinthians 4:4,11:13-15 Rev 12:9.
12. Return of Christ
We believe in the bodily,personal,and pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ; that he will come before the Tribulation Period to remove from the earth his waiting Church,coming in the air, and that he will come with his Church at the close of the tribulation to judge the living nations and to set up His Kingdom on earth.(1Thess 4:13-18 Math 25:31-46 2Thess 2:1-12 Rev 19:11-21;20:1-15)
13. The Resurrection
We believe that the bodies of those who died in the lord will be raised at the return of Christ and that those who are alive will join them in the air, and that the wicked who are dead will be raised also at the close of the millennial Kingdom and stand in their bodies at the Great white Throne of Judgment to receive their final punishment.(John 5:21-30 ;1Thess 4:16 Rev 7:9-17;20:11-15
14. Separation
In view of the fact that we must all come before the judgment seat of Christ,and in order to demonstrate our loyalty to the Word of God and testimony of Jesus Christ,we dedicate ourselves to a life of Biblical separation because it is a specific command of God not an innovation of man.2Corinthians 6: 14-18;Romans 12:1-12 ;2John 10;2Chronicles 19:2;Isaiah 8:20)
