10 Basic Beliefs

1. The Bible is the Word of God. It in infallible and authoritative for what we believe and how we live.
2. There is only one living and true God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. All people are sinners, and totally unable to save themselves from God's wrath, punishment, and judgement.
4. Salvation is by God's grace alone through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He sovereignly chooses those He will save. His choice is based on His love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness toward His chosen people. It is not based on any human effort, merit, works, or foreseen faith.
5. The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, shedding His blood to atone (make payment) for the sins of His people. He arose from the dead on the third day to gain the victory over sin, death, and Hell, for all who believe in Him.
6. The Holy Spirit of God causes us to be born again. He regenerates our hearts, and then we confess our sins, repent, and believe in Christ, trusting Him alone for our forgiveness and life everlasting.
7. Christ will come again to judge all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself.
8. Those who die in their lost condition (not believing in Christ) will spend eternity in Hell.
9. Those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven.
10. We are to live all aspects of our lives to the glory of God and under the Lordship of Christ.
