 s       All Scripture is verbally inspired as originally written and there infallible and inerrant 
     (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, Matthew 5:18, 1 Corinthians 2:13).  The bible is the 
     Word of God. We cannot accept this misleading statement: The Bible contains the Word of God.
 

s        
There is one living and true God who exists in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit 
     (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14).  The Father is God (1 Corinthians 8:6), the Son is 
     God (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, 14, Hebrews 1:8-10), and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4).
 

s         The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38).
 

s        
Christ rose bodily from the dead and ascended unto God the Father (Matthew 28, Mark 16,
     1 Corinthians 15, Romans 1:4).
 

s       
Christ will return; first for the dead in Christ who will resurrected bodily, and for those who are 
     alive at His coming. This resurrection not only precedes His return to earth to reign 1,000 years, 
     but also precedes the Great Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9).  Then, to reign 1,000 
     years on the earth (Revelation 20:1-6, 2 Timothy 2:12).
 

s        
All men inherit a depraved nature and are lost sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:9-19, 
     Ephesians 2:1-3).
 

s        
God has provided salvation through offering His Son on the cross of Calvary and allowing His
      blood to be shed to atone for our sins (Romans 3:25, Hebrews 9:22).
 

s        
We are saved and justified when we recognize ourselves as sinners, and put our trust in Christ 
     as the Son of God and His finished work on the cross of Calvary.  Salvation is by grace through
     faith plus nothing (Romans 3:24, 4:5, Ephesians 2:8-9).
 

s        
Once saved, we cannot be lost; we are eternally secure in Christ (John 3:16, 10:27-29,
     Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:38-39).
 

s        
The baptism of the Holy Spirit takes place at the time of conversion and is the act of placing 
     the believer into the body of Christ, but is not a second work of grace (
1 Corinthians 12:13,
     Galatians 3:27).  It is different than the filling of the Holy Spirit which is an ongoing process
     that may occur at any time in the believer’s life (Ephesians 5:18).  Neither of these aspects is
     accompanied by unusual signs such as speaking in tongues.
 

s        
We should regularly participate at the Lord’s table (1 Corinthians 11:23-32).  All believers
     should be baptized by immersion as an act of obedience, but not for securing their salvation
     (Acts 2:41, 19:4-5, Matthew 28:19-20).
 

s        
The Bible teaches the eternal blessedness of the saved (John 4:14, 5:2, Ephesians 2:7).  It also
      teaches the eternal punishment of the lost (John 5:28-29, Revelation 20:10, 15, Matthew 25:46).
 

s        
The grace of God teaches us to live soberly, righteously, and godly (Titus 2:11-13, 2:13). 
     
Looking for that blessed hope of His returning for us.
 

s         Setting our affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2-3, 1 John 2:15-17).
 

s         Living a life of separation from the world (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
 

s        
We believe in separation unto God (Romans 1:1, 16, 17:2, Corinthians 6:17, 18:2,
     Thessalonians 2:15, 3:6, 1 Timothy 6:3-5).
 

s       
We believe that the King James Bible is as close to the original that we can get, the Word of God.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.             John 3:16
