1. We believe that there is only one God, who’s revealed
Himself as the triune (three-in-one) God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Luke 3:21-22; Matthew
28:19)
2. We believe that God created the earth in six normal,
24-hour days. Man and woman – created in
a unique manner – were the crown of creation, being created in the image of
God, that is, perfect and holy. (Genesis
1-2; Exodus 20:11)
3.
We believe that because Adam and Eve sinned, that
subsequently all humans are born sinful, and in fact, are sinful from the moment
of conception. Therefore all deserve to
be sent to hell eternally. (Psalm 51:5;
Romans 8:7; Romans 3:9-20; Romans 6:23;
Genesis 5:3, 6:5; 1Corinthians 15:22)
4.
We believe that Jesus is both truly God and truly
human, in one person. (John 1:1,14; Romans
9:5; Mark 9:2-9; Hebrews 1:1-8; Philippians 2:5-11)
5.
We believe that Jesus is the only Savior, and that His
death paid the full price for all sins of all time. (Rom 3:23-24;
Romans 5:18; John 3:16; 1John 2:1-2)
6.
We believe that Jesus’ resurrection is THE proof of
Jesus’ divinity, and is THE proof of the fact that God has declared all mankind
to be innocent. (Romans 4:25; Romans
1:4)
7.
We believe that all mankind will be raised from the
dead at the end of the world. Body and
soul will be reunited, those who were believers in Jesus will enjoy eternal
life with God, those who were unbelievers will be condemned to an eternity of
suffering in hell. (Matthew 24-25)
8.
We believe that Jesus will return only once, at which
time this world will be destroyed by fire.
Until that time the world will become progressively worse, not
better. Only God knows when that return
will take place, so it’s foolish for humans to try to predict it. (Matthew 24:4-14; Revelation 1:7; Hebrews
9:27-28; 1Thessalonians 4:13 – 5:11)
