- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19)

- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Philippians 2:6-11; 1 Peter 3:18; Romans 5:9; Matthew 26:64)

- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (Titus 3:4-7)

- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (John 14:15-18; John 16:13; John 16:7-11)

- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (1 Corinthians 15:10-23; John 5:28-29)

- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 2:41-47)

- We believe that man was created for immortality, but that through sin he forfeited his divine birthright; that because of sin, death entered into the world, and passed upon all men; and that only through faith in Jesus Christ, the divinely ordained Life-giver, can men become “partakers of the divine nature,” and live forever. (2 Timothy 1:10; Romans 2:7; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 1 Corinthians 15:51-54).

We understand that other true believers think that all humans are inherently immortal and the wicked will live forever in conscious eternal torment. While this is clearly not what we see in scripture, it is a secondary issue not related to the true Gospel. We acknowledge those who trust and follow Jesus as our family even if they disagree with us on this issue.

- We believe that death is a condition of unconsciousness to all persons, righteous and wicked; a condition which will remain unchanged until the resurrection at Christ’s Second Coming, at which time the righteous will receive everlasting life while the wicked will be “punished with everlasting destruction;” suffering complete extinction of being. (Ecclesiastes 9:5; Job 14:14; John 5:28-29; Matthew 10:28)

We understand that other true believers think that people face judgment at the moment of death, before Jesus returns. While this is clearly not what we see in scripture, it is a secondary issue not related to the true Gospel. We acknowledge those who trust and follow Jesus as our family, even if they disagree with us on this issue.
