What We Teach On:
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Scriptures are divinely inspired, meaning they are word for word from the mind
of God, directly written to His human family [2 Tim 3:16].
We believe Scripture is God-breathed, meaning that all Scripture is filled with God’s Holy Spirit.
It follows then that when Scripture is obeyed, the one obeying Scripture is in fact being led by
the Holy Spirit of God [2 Tim 3:16].
We believe Scripture [Old and New Testaments, 66 books in total] is inerrant, meaning it is
without error or contradiction [Prov 30:5; Is 40:8].
We believe Scripture is infallible, meaning Scripture will never fail, but will accomplish that
which it was sent forth to do. Scripture is infallible in the sense that every truth is secure and
eternal, every promise will be fulfilled [Psalm 19:7; Psalm 12:6].
We believe Scripture is sufficient, meaning that, in order to be complete and lacking in nothing,
the believer will not need anything else beyond the Canon of Scripture for salvation or life, but
will be complete in all things through it. [2 Tim 3:14-17; 2 Pet 1:3]We believe that our response to Scripture is in fact our response to God Himself.
To embrace Scripture is to embrace God.
To reject Scripture is to reject God.
To submit to Scripture is to submit to God.
To overthrow Scripture is to rebel against God.
The Trinity
We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God
We believe there is one true and living God [Deut 6:4], eternally existing in three Persons, the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit [Matt 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14].
We believe each of the God head to be divine and equally deserving of our worship and
obedience.
We believe God to be the creator and sustainer of all things created [John 1:3; Heb 1:3].
We believe God is Holy in the sense that He is separate from His creation, that there is no one
like Him and that there is nothing that can be compared to Him.
We believe He is Holy in that He is morally perfect.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus is fully-God and fully-man, meaning that
His deity did not limit His humanity and His humanity did not minimize His deity. He came to us
in human form, for the purpose of revealing God to the world and to die for the sins of the
world. He is the Savior of this world: He took upon Himself our sins through His death on a
cross; He rose from the grave, so that we might rise in Him eternally.
Man
We teach that man is made in God’s image [Gen 1:27].
We teach that after Adam’s disobedience and because of his disobedience, sin entered
humanity and as a result impacted the human creature and his nature to a devastating degree.
As a result of his sin nature;
man lost his innocence before God [Gen 3:7-11]man was separated from God [Is 59:2]he became hostile toward God [Rom 8:7]sin destroyed his mental capacity to submit to God [Rom 8:7]man lost his volition to choose Christ [John 6:44]We teach that the effects of sin on human nature is devastating to the point that unless God
redeems him, that man’s salvation would be impossible [Luke 18:27].
Salvation
We teach that justification is by faith in Christ alone and not by any human effort [Gal 2:15-16].
We teach this salvation as a monergistic act of God.
Salvation belongs, not to God and man, but to God alone [Rev 7:10].
This means that God initiates and completes the entire act of salvation all by Himself, without
man’s intervention or participation.
Man brings nothing to the act of his own salvation except for the sin that made his salvation
necessary.
God is both the author and the finisher of our faith. [Heb 12:2].
That would mean He gets all the glory for saving a lost soul.
We teach that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to
Scripture alone for God’s glory alone.
