The Bible:

We believe that the Holy Scriptures (II Tim 3:15; II Pet 3:15-16) consist of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments (Lk 11:50-51; 24:44). The Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus are the verbal, plenary preserved words of God. They are inspired, inerrant, infallible and available for God’s people today (Deut 30:11-14, II Pet 3:2). The King James Bible is an accurate and perfect translation of the preserved, inspired words of God and; therefore, the King James is the verbal, plenary, inerrant, infallible and inspired Word of God (Ps 12:6-7, Matt 4:4, Matt 24:35, Is 59:21).

Salvation:

We believe that salvation is by repentance/faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ (Lk 13:1-3; Rom 3:28). Repentance is not a “work” (Tit 3:5). As one repents of sin (Lk 18:13-14; Acts 3:19), he does so to believe (Jn 3:14-18) on Christ (Mark 1:15; Acts 20:21).

Also the blood of Christ is necessary for salvation.

An abundance of Scriptures refer to the importance of the blood of Christ (Matt 26:28; Acts 20:28; Rom 5:9; Eph 1:7, 2:13; Col 1:14, 20; Heb 9:12-22,10:19, 12:24, 13:20; I Pet 1:2, 1:19; I Jn 1:7; Rev 1:5, 5:9, 7:14, 12:11).

The blood of Jesus Christ was and is divine (Acts 20:28) and without any taint of sin (II Cor 5:21) and, yet, physical (Heb 2:16-17).

The blood of Jesus has a present and future (Rev 12:11) ministry of cleansing and of propitiating the wrath of God (I Jn 1:7; Heb 12:24).

The Church:

The Church is a local assembly of saved and baptized believers who worship God in spirit and truth (Jn 4:24) and carry out the great commission (Matt 28:18-20; Mk 16:15).

The church is not universal and invisible (Rev 22:16). There are two offices: the Pastor (Acts 20:28) and Deacon (Phil 1:1). God’s eternal purpose is centered in the Church (Eph 3:10-11 & 21). Fellowships, para-church organizations, bible colleges that are not under the authority of a local church and mission boards do not have any authority over the church (Matt 18:17).

Second Coming:

We believe in the pre-millennial, pre-tribulation rapture of the saints (I Thess 4:15-18). We reject the pre-wrath position (Mk 13:32).

Holy Spirit:

We believe that when a person is saved (Acts 16:30-31), he is regenerated (Tit 3:5) indwelt (I Cor 6:19), and sealed by the Holy Spirit (Eph 1:12-13). A saved person should be filled with the Spirit of God (Eph 5:18). We reject speaking in tongues and seeking the other sign gifts (Matt 16:4; Heb 2:3-4) mentioned in I Corinthians 12:8-10. The filling of the Spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) as well as power to witness for Christ (Acts 1:8, 4:31-33), not to give an experience or make one lose self-control (II Tim 1:7). The modern charismatic movement is unscriptural and dangerous.

Separation:

We believe in standards of holiness (Rom 12:1-2; I Thess 4:7; I Jn 2:15-17) in areas including dress (I Tim 2:9; Duet 22:5), music (Ps 149:1; Col 3:16), and entertainment (Js 4:4; Ps 101:3). In ministry we do not believe in cooperating with Neo-Evangelicals (Rom 16:17). We separate from any agency that attempts to supersede the authority of the N.T. Church (I Tim 3:15).
