1. We believe in the Trinity—The creator of heaven and earth and Redeemer of mankind manifested in three persons: Almighty Father, Divine Son and Holy Ghost. 1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:1; John 1:1, 4:24; Matthew 10:20; 2 Corinthians 2:17-18
2. We believe in the Bible as the inspired, infallible word of God, inerrant and the only rule of faith, guide for practice and indisputable and ultimate authority of the revelation of God, His will and His way. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Peter 1:16-21
3. We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of the Father, born of a virgin, very God for whom and by whom all things were created. Salvation is by Jesus Christ and none other. 1 John 1:1-10
4. We believe in the substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man and that all must be born again through faith in Him. Hebrews 2:9; John 3:1-18, 6:44-49; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:9-11
5. We believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that He ascended bodily into the heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our mediator, high priest and advocate. Acts 3:12-26; John 20; Hebrews 9:24; 1 Corinthians 15:12-28.
6. We believe in water baptism and Holy Communion—the Lord’s Supper as the
ordinances of the church to be observed as public declaration of salvation through Jesus and in commendation of His death, burial and resurrection in victory over Satan, death, hell and the grave. 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16, Mark 16:16, Luke 3:21-22
7. We believe in the baptism and filling of the Holy Spirit. We believe that this gift is presently available to all who believe. We believe the Holy Spirit will impart spiritual power to the believer to be a witness. Acts 1:5, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 1:8, 5:32.
8. We believe in the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ both ―for His saints and with His saints in reign to victory. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-55; Revelation 19:19-20, 20:1-6
9. We believe in the authority of the believer over the enemy, Satan, and the victory to be gained by the exercise of the authority in the areas of deliverance, healing and holiness. Ephesians 1:20-23, 6:10-17
10. We believe in the personality and reality of Satan as the enemy of the Kingdom of God and the Saints of the Lord; and in his ultimate defeat by the Lord Jesus Christ and potential defeat in the lives of Spirit-filled believers clothed in the armor of God. Revelation 12:9-10; Matthew 4:2-11; Isaiah 14:12-17
