What God's Word Teaches Concerning:
SCRIPTURE:
That the scriptures of the Old and New Testament were inspired by God and are inerrant; that God has preserved his Word throughout the generations. That the collection of the sixty-six books known as the Holy Bible does not only contain and convey the word and will of God, but is the very Word of God and as such is infallible.(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; John 1:1)
THE DEITY OF GOD:
That there is one God and Father of all; that God is a spirit. That the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit/Ghost are there persons unified together forming the Godhead/Trinity. That these three persons work together in unity; never doing anything apart from another.(Ephesians 4:4-6; John 4:24)
CONCERNING CHRIST:
That Christ Jesus is the Son of God; the Word made flesh who dwelt among us. That Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary. That Christ came to do the will of His Father. That Jesus was tempted like us; yet without sin and became the sacrificial lamb: shedding His blood for all that we might be redeemed from our sin's. That Christ Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, and on the third day rose again and lives forevermore. That Jesus ascended into Heaven where He sits at the Father's right hand as our High Priest and Advocate, and that it is only through Jesus that man has access to the Father. That Christ Jesus will soon return again to judge all humanity. (John 3:16; John 1:14; Matthew 1:8; Luke 1:26-27; John 1:4; Galatians 4:4-5;
Romans 8:3; John 6:38; Hebrews 9:22; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 4:14-16; Acts 4:12 Hebrews 9:27-28)
THE HOLY SPIRIT:
That the Holy Spirit is alive and well in the Church today; just as He was during the time of the Apostles. That the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is not only crucial in the life of the believer, but commmanded by God. That the gifts of the Spirit are as relvant today as they were during the time of the Apostles, and shuld be implemented in the life to the believer.(Acts 1:1-5; Acts 2:38-39, John 14:16-17, 1Cor. 12)
HUMANITY:
That man is inherently sinful, and it is because of man's sin that we are separated from God. Yet God in his love towards us sent His only Son, Jesus to become the atonement for man's sin; thus providing a way to once again have communion with the Father (God). And it is solely through the acceptance of Christ's sacrifice through repentance that man can gain access to God; thus the sinner becomes saint, the lost becomes saved, and one becomes born again.(Romans 5:1-2, 8-12, 18-19; John 3:16-17; Colossians 1:12-14, 19-21; Acts 4:12)
LITERAL HEAVEN AND HELL:
There is a literal Heaven and Hell. That one must be reconciled to God to enter Heaven's gates, and all who would rejected Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior will find themselves in a place called Hell. Heaven being the eternal home of the faithful follower's of Christ. Hell being a place of torment reserved for the angels who left their first estate, and the ungodly; where the flame of their torments rises up forever.(John 3:3; Mark 16:16; Acts 3:12; Luke 16:22-23; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6-7;
Isaiah 66:24; Revelation 14:11)
SIGNS FOLLOW THE BELIEVER:
That if one is truly repentant and following after Christ there will be an immediate, and continual transformation in their life. That their old way of life will fall away and their lives will begin to take on the attributes of Christ, thus Christian: meaning Christ like; to imitate Christ. That signs will follow the life of the believer; for they shall in Jesus name: lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, cast out devils, and speak with new tongues: a fresh new conversation; both in word and deed. Becoming instruments of Christ, spreading the gospel; not only in word and deed, but in the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit.(2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Timothy 2:19; Romans 8:29; Romans 6:13;
Mark 16:15-20; 1 Corinthians 2:4)
