DOCTRINE OF FAITH
WHAT WE BELIEVE:
About the Scriptures
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man. It is superior to conscience and reason. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrew 4:12)
About Salvation
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus became sin and sickness providing both salvation and divine healing for all mankind. For by grace we are saved through faith. (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10)
The evidence of salvation is the inward evidence to the believer of his salvation which is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to al men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works will determine the rewards in eternity (Romans 01:9 & 11 Corinthians 5:10).
About Baptism
The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4).
New believers are baptized on the 1st Sunday of each month during Holy Communion
Service at 5:00 p.m.. You do not have to complete the new members class to be baptized.
The Lord's Supper
And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup." (1 Corinthians 11:24; 25, 28)
New believers participate in the Communion Service/Lord's Supper on the 1st Sunday of each month at 5:00 p.m. Only baptized believers, both children and adults, participate in the Lord's Supper.
