We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God; that men are made a living soul, created in the image of God, and subject to the original jurisdiction of Genesis 1:26-28; and,
We believe there is only one God, the God of Creation, the God of the Bible, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that there is only one true religion which is rooted and grounded in Christ and the cross of Calvary (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Timothy 1:5).
We believe that men are born sinners and need a Savior (Psalms 58:3; Romans 3:23; 6:23); and,
We believe the Ten Commandments and relevant case law is the absolute, objective standard of right and wrong because it is an indirect reflection of the character of God. God’s law is not only good for Christians, it is good for all men and their institutions; and, while the law cannot save men or regenerated society, it can, when properly applied be an instrument to purge society of evil (Exodus 20:1ff; Deuteronomy 6:1-6; 17:11; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:142-144; Romans 13:8; 1 John 5:1-3; and,
We believe that Jesus Christ the direct, subjective reflection of the character of God. He is the living Torah, the Son of God, the Logos made flesh, who was sent into the world “to save his people from their sins.” The main message of Christ was the kingdom of God and the arrival its powers to defeat man’s enemies. The Savior died for sinners, was buried, and literally, tangibly, visibly rose from the dead providing proof of claim that He was the Son of God. Ascended into heaven and installed as the Messianic King, His reign is now in session at the right hand of God as Lord and Christ (Matthew 1:21; John 1:1-18; Romans 15:1-12; Acts 2:36-37; Revelation 1:5ff); and,
We believe that all who hear the gospel and accept the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved from their sins; that Christ is the only Savior, and that all other religions are false; (John 14:6; Romans 5:1-10; 10:9, 10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-12); and,
We believe that faith in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ has created a fellowship of men who share together in the spiritual blessings of the kingdom of God. Those who share a common relationship to Christ and the benefits of His accomplishments at Calvary are called the Church, the Chosen People of God, a New Creation, a New Race, a New Israel, a New Temple, and Royal Priesthood. Wherever God’s people gather to worship Christ, the Spirit of God inhabits their praises. The true church is a living organism, the “corpus of Christ,” with Christ as its Head. It is composed of the church militant on earth, and the church triumphant in heaven. It is not a dead, fictional incorporated organization subject to alien law under an agency of U.S.A., Inc. (Matthew 16:15-18; Acts 2:42; Ephesians 1:22; 2:15-21; 3:1-10; Revelation 7); and,
We believe Christ is coming again to save His people and to judge the wicked; therefore, we believe Christians should be holy and live out Theo-centric love in conformity to God’s law now (Roman 2:16; 13:8; 14:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10; 2 Peter 3:14).
We believe there is only one Lawgiver; that Christians have a duty to obey de jure governments and good laws; but, we also believe men have a duty to resist tyranny; that not only does God require Christians to obey God’s law, but that all civil rulers are required to obey the Lord Jesus Christ (Psalm 2; Isaiah 33:22; Daniel 3:12; Colossians 1:15-18; 2:8-10; James 4:12; Revelation 1:5).
