The Scriptures
We believe the Holy Bible is complete, infallible, and also inerrant. That all scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.
It is paramount that we do not neglect the fact, according to Hebrews 6:18 – It is impossible for GOD to lie. The Bible is complete, theretofore nothing needs to be added or taken away. There are those who claim the Bible is incomplete. The Bible exists above the philosophy of man and is a portion of the totality of The Father’s omniscience. Scripture states in Revelations 22:18b, “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. Verse 19 continues, “And if any man should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Not only is the Word of El-HaShamayim (the God of the Heavens – Ps 136:26) complete, it is also infallible. There are no mistakes in the entirety of the bible. It is totally flawless because it has as its author El-De’ot, The God of Knowledge (1 Sam 2:3) and as such needs no assistance whatsoever. Psalms 19:7 states “The law of the Lord is perfect” so it has no need of back up. All that is written is the complete, infallible truth.
The Word of Elohim (God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit, the plural of El) is without error – maintaining its pure integrity according to Proverbs 30:5, “The word of God is pure” in its individuals parts and also in the entirety of its context.
God
There is one living, true omniscient, and omnipresent God. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Elohim - Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1), with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
God the Father
God as Father, reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
God the Son
Christ, the Son of God was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Honoring his Father he became flesh and dwelt among men. He took the entirety of sin upon himself to save mankind. Jesus, the only son of GOD (at that time) went to Calvary, nailed himself to the cross, suffered, bled and gave up the ghost. Being obedient unto death, he secured salvation for man. He now sits at the right hand of GOD almighty. He is the savior of the world.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
The Pastor
God calls the Pastor to be the head of HIS flock. The Pastor is to have the qualifications as stated in I Timothy 3:2-7 (husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach, rule well over his own household, patient, of good report; not given to wine, a striker, greedy, and not a novice).
Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Pastor is the CEO of the church. Issues that affect the operation of the body should be brought to the Pastor for clarification and/or resolution. Through the direction of the Holy Spirit, the Pastor has the finally say in the daily operation and affairs of the church.
Man
Man is the special creation of God, in His own image. He created them, male and female, as the crowning work of His creation. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every person of every race possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.
