"Come see a man who knew all about the things I did, who knows me inside and out. Do you think this could be the Messiah?"And they went out to see for themselves. (John 4:29-30 MSG)
STATEMENT OF FAITH
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God by which we understand the whole Bible to be inspired in the sense that holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. Divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the original writings. The whole Bible in the original is, therefore, without error and, as such, is infallible, absolutely supreme and sufficient in authority in all matters of faith and practice. (2 Tim. 3:16,17; 2 Pet. 1:20,21; Psa. 119:160a; Matt. 5:17,18)
The Bible does not simply contain the Word of God, but is, in reality, the complete revelation and very Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. Christian believers today receive spiritual illumination to enable them to understand the Scriptures, but God does not grant new revelations that are contrary or additional to inspired biblical truth. (1 Cor. 2:12-14; Prov. 30:5,6)
THE GODHEAD The Godhead exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one, having the same nature and attributes and are worthy of the same homage, confidence and obedience. (Matt. 3:16,17; 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)
THE FATHER The Father exists eternally as the Creator of heaven and earth, the Giver of the Law, to whom all things will be subjected, so that He may be all in all. (Gen. 1:1; 1 Cor. 15:28)
THE SON The Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal and only begotten Son of the Father, is true God and true man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and by His sinless life, miracles and teaching, gave full revelation of the Father. (John 1:1,14; 10:30; 17; Phil. 2:6,7; Heb. 1:8; Luke 1:26-35; John 12:49; Acts 2:22; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:26)
He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitution sacrifice. He rose from the dead. He is now at the right hand of the majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom in righteousness and peace. (Rom. 5:6,8; 1 Cor. 15:3; 1 Pet. 3:18; Matt. 28:6; 1 Cor. 15:4; Acts 1:9-11; 2:33; Heb. 8:1; Matt. 25:31)
HOLY SPIRIT God, the Holy Spirit performs actions and possesses
the attributes of Deity. His personality is shown by the fact that He has personal characteristics and that individuals may relate to Him as a person. (Acts 5:3,4; John 16:13-14)
