WHAT WE BELIEVE
- We believe in one true and living God; and that there is a Trinity of Persons in the Godhead; the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the same in essence, equal in power and glory.
- We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, given by inspiration of God, are of divine authority and the only rule of faith and practice.
- We believe in the fall of Adam; in the imputation of his sins to all his posterity,in the total depravity of human nature, and in man's inability to restore himself to the favor of God.
- We believe in the everlasting love of God for His people; in the eternal and unconditional election of a certain number of the human family to grace and glory.
- We believe that sinners are only justified in the sight of God by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, which is unto and upon all them that believe.
- We believe all those who were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world are, in time, effectually called regenerated and sanctified; and kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
- We believe there is one Mediator between God and men-the Man Christ Jesus, who, by the satisfaction He made to the law and justice in becoming an offering for sin, hath, by His most precious blood, redeemed the elect family from under the curse of the law, that they might be holy and without blame before Him in love.
- We believe that good works are the fruits of faith, and following after justification, are the evidences of a gracious state; and it is the duty of all believers to perform them from a principle of love.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead and a general judgement; that the happiness of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked will be everlasting.
We wish to stress the importance of the fundamental doctrines as being absolutely necessary. We should,however, also be understanding in minor differences that often are merely differences in terminology or custom. "In essentials, Unity; in non-essentials,Liberty; in all things,Charity!"
