What we believe About the Bible

We believe the Bible is the written word of God given to man for instruction in righteousness (being rightly related to God) and Godly living (living as God commands us to). We believe the Bible is authored by God and penned by men who were chosen by God. We believe the Bible is protected by God and is without error.

We believe that all scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, and instruction. We believe that all commands and laws given by God through the Bible, in both the Old Testament (unless specifically changed in the New Testament) are relevant for today and are to be obeyed by lived by whether we agree with or like them.
We believe that God is the creator of all that is and that He is Master of all.

What We Believe: All Scripture is verbally inspired as originally written and therefore infallible and inerrant (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, Matthew 5:18, 1 Corinthians 2:13). The Bible IS the Word of God. We CANNOT accept the misleading statement: "The Bible contains the Word of God." There is one living and true God who exists in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14). The Father is God (1 Corinthians 8:6); the Son is God (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1, 14; Hebrews 1:8-10); and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38). Christ rose bodily from the dead and ascended unto God the Father (Matthew 28, Mark 16, 1Corinthians 15, Romans 1:4). Christ will return: A. First, for the "dead in Christ" who will be resurrected bodily, and for those who are alive at His coming. This resurrection not only precedes His return to earth to reign 1,000 years, but also precedes the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9). B. Then, to reign 1,000 years on the earth (Revelation 20:1-6, 2 Timothy 2:12). All men inherit a depraved nature and are lost sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:9-19, Ephesians 2:1-3). God has provided salvation through offering His Son on the cross at Calvary, and allowing His blood to be shed to atone for our sins (Romans 3:25, Hebrews 9:22). We are saved and justified when we recognize ourselves as sinners, and put our trust in Christ as the Son of God and His finished work on the cross of Calvary. Salvation is by grace through faith plus nothing (Romans 3:24, 4:5; Ephesians 2:8-9). Once saved, we cannot be lost; we are eternally secure in Christ (John 3:16,10:27-29; Philippians 1:6; Romans 8:38-39). The baptism of the Holy Spirit takes place at the time of conversion and is the act of placing the believer into the body of Christ, but is not a second work of grace (1Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:27). It is different than the filling of the Holy Spirit which is an ongoing process that may occur at any time in the believer's life (Ephesians 5:18). Neither of these aspects is accompanied by unusual signs such as speaking in tongues. A. We should regularly participate at the Lord's table (1 Corinthians 11:23-32). B. All believers should be baptized by immersion as an act of obedience, but not for securing their salvation (Acts 2:41, 19:4-5; Matthew 28:19-20). The Bible teaches the eternal blessedness of the saved (John 4:14, 5:24; Ephesians 2:7) It also teaches the eternal punishment of the lost (John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:10, 15; Matthew 25:46). The grace of God teaches us to "live soberly, righteously, and godly" (Titus 2:11-13). A. Titus 2:13 - "Looking for that blessed hope" of His returning for us. B. Colossians 3:2-3, 1 John 2:15-17 - Setting our "affection on things above, not on things on the earth." C. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 - Living a life of separation from the world. We believe in separation "unto God" (Romans 1:1, 16:17; 2 Corinthians 6:17-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 3:6; 1 Timothy 6:3,5).
