We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15–17; 2 Peter 1:21). We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30). We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34,35);
His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9); His bodily resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); and His personal future return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11–16). We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16–19; 5:24, Romans 3:23; 5:8,9; Ephesians 2:8–10; Titus 3:5). We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are not unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15). We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12,13; Galatians 3:26–28). We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13,14; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19,20; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18). It is this (agape) love that we desire to possess and without which we have no right to call ourselves Christians (1 John 4:16,17). We believe it is the mandate of the whole Church to go into the whole world and preach the gospel to every living creature (Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15).
