​Statement of Faith
​
​
-
I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible, which is the inerrant, authoritative Word of God. I use the King James Version for preaching and teaching in English.
-
I believe in the Trinity. There is only one true God, externally existing in three uncreated Persons.
-
I believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit.
-
I believe that salvation is by grace alone, accessed by faith, on the basis of Christ’s atoning work on the cross.
-
I believe in the creation of the universe by the direct act of God, from nothing, in six literal days.
-
I believe that man was created in the image of God, but that he fell from his original state through willful disobedience.
-
I believe in the deity, virgin birth, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
-
I believe that one who is born again will be kept saved forever.
-
I believe that every believer should separate himself from the things of the world.
-
I believe in the personal existence of angels.
-
I believe in the local church, an assembly of immersed believers, as God’s ordained institution for the perpetuation of the Truth and the advancement of His work in this age.
-
I believe that the Bible commands separation from all forms of religious liberalism, apostasy, and doctrinal compromise.
-
I believe in the bodily resurrection, pretribulational rapture of all believers, and the one-thousand year millennial reign of Christ on earth.
-
I believe that every believer is righteous by position, but that he must depend on the Holy Spirit for growth in Christlikeness.
