Articles of Faith

Of the Scriptures

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Bible as originally written was verbally inspired and the product of Spirit controlled men, and therefore has truth without admixture of error for its matter. We believe that it is the true center of Christian union and the only infallible rule for all human conduct, creeds and opinions.

II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:19-21

Of the True God

WE BELIEVE that there is only one living and true God, infinite in every excellence; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three personal distinctions, ­the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, - one in substance and equal in every divine perfection.

Exodus 20:2-3; I Corinthians 8:6; I John 5:7

WE BELIEVE in the absolute Deity of the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ; that He was divine as no other man can be, being very God of very God, existing from all eternity co-equal with the Father and the Spirit; that He never ceased to be God for one instant and that His humiliation did not consist in laying aside His deity; that as a man He was miraculously begotten of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary.

John 1:1-2; I John 5:20; Matthew 1:20; Luke 1:26-38

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with the Father and Son and of the same essence; that He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment, bears witness to the truth, is the Agent of the New Birth and that He seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses to, sanctifies and helps the believer, indwelling every true Child of God.

II Corinthians 13:14; John 14:16; Romans 8:14-27; John 4:24; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 1:13-14

Of the Devil, or Satan

WE BELIEVE that Satan is a distinct personality, that he is the god of this age, author of all the powers of darkness and sin, and is destined to the judgment of an eternal justice in the lake of fire.

Matthew 4:1-3; II Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:10
