WE BELIEVE that the Bible is God's infallible, inspired, and preserved word, and that it was written by men, divinely inspired, and that it has Supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. We believe that God has preserved His word for the English speaking world in the King James Bible.

WE BELIEVE in one God, namely God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, making a triune God possessed of one Spirit. We believe God the Father is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, and that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, virgin born, sinless in His life making atonement for the sins of the world by His death. We believe that His blood was shed for the sins of the whole world, and that it is preserved and sprinkled upon the altar in the heavenly tabernacle, and that there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people and His pre-millennial, visible return to the world according to His promise. We believe that He is very God from eternity to eternity.

WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit who came forth to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment to come, and to regenerate, sanctify and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the nine-sign gifts of the Holy Spirit were only used during the period of the inspiration of the New Testament, and that with the close of the canon, the nine-sign gifts came to a conclusion. We believe that all Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit from the moment of their personal salvation, and are filled or influenced by the Holy Spirit many times in their lives, in relation to their surrender to His absolute will. We believe that He is Very God from eternity to eternity.

WE BELIEVE that all men are sinners by nature and by choice, but that, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." We believe therefore that those who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour will rejoice forever in God's presence, and those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, confessing their sins in repentance, will be forever separated from God in Hell which is literal, inescapable, everlasting, and made up of actual fire.

WE BELIEVE that every born-again Christian is secure in his personal salvation, as Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith, being the One who saves us by His grace, and keeps us by His grace, demonstrating that a man does not save himself, and a man does not keep himself.

WE BELIEVE that God's one appointed organization is the local church. This is to say that we do not hold to any invisible, catholic, or universal church concept of any kind. We do not believe the church will go through any portion of the tribulation, or any kind of "pre-wrath" judgement by God, but awaits the pre-tribulation rapture. We believe the local church alone has the authority to baptize and administer communion.

WE BELIEVE that God's standards of conduct are final. Qualifications for pastors, deacons, and leaders in the church are clearly spelled out in the Bible and we are to submit to them. Among these standards are that God never meant husbands and wives were ever to be divorced, and that an "exception clause" for the case of fornication is not an allowance for any of God's people to be divorced and remarried. We do not believe that pastors, missionaries, deacons, or their wives can meet Gods qualifications having ever been married, divorced, and remarried.

WE BELIEVE that every born-again Christian has direct relations with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority. We believe in separation of church and state, but denounce the thought of separation of God and state.
