About The
Scriptures
- Both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired and
infallible revelation of God to man and are the authority of faith
and conduct. This assembly
accepts the Bible as the
revealed word of
God, as the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, and the
purpose of maintaining general unity of our statements of faith.
About God
- God is the Creator
and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three
personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three
are co-equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Genesis 3:22;
Psalms 90:2; Matthew 28:19
About
Jesus Christ
- Jesus Christ is the
Son of God. He is co-equal with the
Father. Jesus lived a sinless life and
offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice
for the sins of all people by dying on
the cross. He arose from the dead after
three days to demonstrate His power over
sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's
glory and will return again someday to
earth to reign as King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23;
John 1:1-5; John 14:10-31; Romans 1:4
About
The Holy Spirit
-
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God.
He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for
Jesus Christ. He provides the Christian with comfort, with power for living,
understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is
right. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; Ephesians 5:18; John 14:17
About
The Bible
- The
Bible is God's word to us. It was written by human authors under
the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme
source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because God
inspired it, it is the truth without error. The Bible was not
written only to educate us, but to change our lives. Psalms
119:19; II Timothy 3:16
About
Eternity
- Man was created to exist forever. We will exist either eternally
separated from God by sin or eternally with God through
forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is
Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Eternal Life in
Heaven. Heaven and Hell are actual places of eternal existence. John 3:16; Romans
6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15 |
