statement of faith
The Scripture:
-
-
The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. It was uniquely, verbally, and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and was written without error in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in faith and life in every age.
God:
There is but one God, infinite in power, wisdom, justice, goodness and love, the Creator of the universe,
eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each of whom possesses all the attributes of
Deity and the characteristics of personality.
Man:
-
-
God created man in His own image, and man, as he was originally created, was innocent before God. But man chose to sin by disobeying God, and therefore was alienated from his Creator and came under divine condemnation. Thus all human beings are born with a corrupted nature and without spiritual life, and are totally incapable of pleasing God in and of themselves.
