1. The Bible was verbally and plenary inspired by God in the original writings
   (2 Tim. 3: 16, 17; 2 Pet. 1 :20, 21)
   ” Verbal” means that the very words of the Scripture are divinely inspired.
   “Plenary” means that every part of the Scripture is equally inspired.
   
2. The Bible is inerrant
   (Mt. 5:18; Psa. 119:89)
   “Inerrant” means that the Scripture is without error in the original manuscripts.
   
3. The Bible is the final authority in faith and practice
   (Isa. 8:20; Acts 17:11; Psa. 119:128)
   “Authority ” means that the Scripture being the divine expression of God’s will have the final say concerning what we should believe and how we should conduct ourselves.

1. The Trinity that there is but one God existing in three Persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that these three are co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, and co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections
   (Deut. 6:4; Mt. 28: 19, 20; 2 Cor. 13:14; Jn. 6:27; Rom. 1:7; Jn. 1:1-3,14; Acts 5:3,4)
   
2. God, the Father that He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father of all who have come to a saving knowledge of His only Begotten Son
   (Jn. 1:14; 20: 17; Rom. 8:15,17)
   
3. God, the Son that He is the Lord Jesus Christ. He was incarnated by means of the Virgin birth
   (Isa. 7:14; Mt.1 :18-25)
   He is fully God and fully man
   (Jn. 8:58, 14: 7-9; Mk. 2:5- 7; Lk. 2:52; Mt. 4:2; Jn. 19:28; Jn. 4:6)
   He lived a sinless perfect life
   (Heb. 4:15; I Pet. 2:22; I Jn. 3:5; 2 Cor. 5:21)
   He was crucified on the cross for the sins of all men, was buried, and rose again bodily on the third day
   (1 Cor. 15: 1-4)
   He ascended to heaven and is now at the right hand of God as our Great High Priest, Intercessor, and Advocate
   (Heb. 4: 14-1 6; 7:25; I Jn. 2 :1)
   
4. God, the Holy Spirit that He is a Person not a force or an influence
   (Jn. 14:26; I Cor. 12:11; Eph. 4:30)
   He convicts the unbelievers of sin, righteousness and judgment
   (Jn. 16:8-11)
   He regenerates (Jn. 3:6), seals (Eph. 1:13, 14), indwells (Rom. 8:9), and baptizes into the Body of Christ (I Cor. 12:13) all true believers at the moment of salvation.
   He teaches (Jn. 14:26, I Jn. 2 :20, 27), guides (Gal. 5: 16-18), empowers (Zech. 4:6; Acts 1:8), helps (Rom. 8:26, 27) and fills (Eph. 5: 18) the believers subsequent to their salvation.

We believe that angels were created beings
(Ps. 148:2-5)
They are an innumerable company
(Heb. 12 :22; Rev. 5:1 1)
They are ministering spirits carrying out God’s providence
(Heb. 1:7,14)
They are finite beings although superior to man in power and might
(2 Pet. 2:11)

1. Satan is a real personality, the chief of those angels who fell with him when he rose up in pride to rebel against the Almighty God.
   (Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:12-17; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6, Rev. 12:4)
   
2. Satan is engaged in opposing God and His program.
   (Mt. 13:24-30)
   He employs demons or fallen angels to carry out his work in the world.
   (Eph. 6 :12; Col. 2 :15; Lk. 11:15-19)
   
3. Satan will ultimately be cast into the Lake of Fire, where he and his followers will be tormented forever and ever.
   (Rev. 20:7- 10)

We believe that God spoke into existence the entire universe (Gen. 1:1-3; Jn.1:1-3),
and He upholds all things in the universe by the Word of his power (Heb.1:3).

1. Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but because of the disobedience of Adam, the entire human race was plunged into sin and death.
   (Gen. 1:26, 27; 2:7-3:24; Rom. 5 :12, 6:23)
   
2. All men inherit a sinful nature and are totally depraved.
   (Ps. 51:5; Rom:5: 18,19)
   
3. All men are condemned who reject Christ as Saviour and will endure eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
   (Jn.3:18,19; Rev. 20:14,15)

1. A man is saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ apart from any works of merit of the sinner
   (Jn. 3:36; Eph. 2 :8-9)
   
2. A saved man is a child of God (Jn. 1 :12), receives a new life (2 Cor. 5: 17), is sanctified (I Cor. 6: 11), is justified (Rom. 5: 1), and finally is glorified (Rom. 8:30) to be with Christ forever.
   
3. A Christian is sanctified positionally in Christ, progressively as he obeys the Scriptures, and completely when he sees Christ either at death or at His coming.
   (I Cor. 1:2, 30; 2 Cor. 7: 1; Jn. 17:1 7; 1 Thess. 4:3-7; Heb. 12:23; I Jn. 3:2)

1. The Gospel speaks of Christ’s death for our sins. His burial, and His resurrection on the third day as the only way for salvation.
   (I Cor. 15: 1-4; Acts 4: 12; I Tim 2:5)
   
2. Christ’s death is vicarious (2 Cor. 5:21; I Pet. 2 :24), is an atonement (Rom. 5:11), is a propitiation (1 Jn. 2 :2) and brings reconciliation between God and man (Eph. 2 :16).
   
3. Christ’s bodily resurrection (Lk. 24:39; Mt. 28:9; Jn. 20:5-7) guarantees that all believers will one day be raised from the dead (Rom. 8:11; I Cor. 15:20-23) to be with Christ forever.
   
4. Salvation is available for all but is enjoyed only by those who believe the gospel.
   (Jn. 1 :29; Titus 2:11; Rom. 10:13; Rev. 22:17)

1. The Church is a spiritual organism consisting of all true believers in this age, who have been born of the Spirit of God and who were baptized by the same Spirit into the body of Christ.
   (Mt. 16:18; 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:4-6; Heb. 12:23)
   
2. The Local Church is a body of believers in Christ who have followed the Lord through the waters of baptism, uniting together in worship, prayer, instruction, fellowship, service and the spread of the Gospel to the uttermost part of the earth.
   (Mt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:41, 42; 14:27; Heb. 10:25)

There are only two Christian ordinances, water baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

1. The Lord’s Supper: We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a commemoration of the Lord’s death to be observed until He comes again, and that it should always be preceded by solemn self examination, and that participation should be extended to all regenerated persons living in fellowship with and obedience to Jesus Christ.
   (Mt. 26:26-30; I Cor. 11:23-30)
   
2. Baptism: We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit upon profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour (Mt. 28: 18-20; Acts 8: 12, 36-39, 10:47, 48, 16:32-34), and that it sets forth in picture the believer’s union with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12).

Biblical separation includes:

1. Separation of Christians from disobedient brethren.
   (2 Thess. 3:6,14,15: I Cor. 5:11)
   
2. Separation of Christians from sin, worldly habits, practices and amusements.
   (Eph. 5:11; Jas. 4:4; I Jn. 2:15-17)
   
3. Separation of Church and State.
   (Mt. 22:21)
   
4. Separation of the local Church and individual Christian from any form of apostasy, of unbelief, and of compromise with those who deny the basic fundamentals of the faith.
   (2 Cor. 6:14-18; Gal. 1:8; Titus 3:10; Rom. 16:17; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14, 15; 2 Jn. 10,11)

We believe that there are two phases in the Second advent of Christ,

First, the Rapture, which is the pre-tribulation, pre-millennial, personal, imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air for His saints
(I Thess. 4:16- 17, 5:9,10);

Second, the revelation, which is the personal, visible return of Christ with His saints after the seven years of tribulation on earth to set up His millennial kingdom
(Zech. 14:4-5 ; Mt. 24:29, 30, 25:31-46; I Thess. 3:13; Rev. 1:7).

We believe that at the end of the 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth, there will be a final rebellion when Satan is loosed for a season and then cast into the lake of fire, that at this time the second resurrection for all the unsaved will take place, that they will be judged at the Great White Throne and cast into the lake of fire to be tormented eternally, and that the righteous will live with Christ eternally in Heaven.
(Jn. 5:28, 29; I Cor. 15:20-26, Rev. 20:3, 7-10, 15, 22:3-5)
