What we believe about "the faith...once delivered..." Jude 1:3

THE SCRIPTURES
 We Believe every word of GOD to be verbally inspired by GOD and to be preserved in the King James Bible and that it is the final authority of faith and practice. (II Tim 3:16; Ps 12:6-7)
 
THE TRINITY
 We Believe the GODHEAD to be eternally self-existent, manifesting Himself in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. (I Jn 5:7)
 

JESUS CHRIST
 We Believe that Jesus Christ is GOD's only begotten Son and our sole mediator.  We believe in His incarnation, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitionary atonement, His bodily resurrection, and His imminent return from Heaven (Tit 2:13-14; Ph 2:5-11)
 

MAN
 We Believe that man was created in the image of GOD innocent and without sin, that man sinned in Adam and that he is now a sinner by choice, therefore all are in need of redemption (Rm 5:12).
 
SALVATION
 
We Believe in salvation as a gift by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from human merit, works or ceremonies.  That every believer is eternally secure and a child of GOD who can do nothing to forfeit this gift (Eph 2:8-9; Jn 3:7; Jn 10:29; I Jn 5:13).
 
HEAVEN AND HELL
 
We Believe in the literal Heaven where the truly saved shall spend all eternity, and a literal burning hell where the unbelieving Christ rejecter will spend all eternity (Jn 14:6; Rev 20:14-15)
 
ANGELS
 
We Believe that angels are personal beings, originally created holy.  Some angels chose to disobey GOD and follow satan.  These fallen angels comprise satan's army and are known as demons.  Obedient angels are ministering spirits sent for the protection and well being of the saints (Eph 6:11-12; Ps 91:11).
 
THE CHURCH
We Believe that the local church is composed of regenerated, baptized believers, voluntarily united together for the purpose of worship, edification, fellowship of believers, spiritual growth, and the propagation of the Gospel (Eph 4:11-16)
 
WORLD EVANGELISM
 
We Believe, because all men everywhere without Christ are lost and bound for hell and men cannot believe on Him in whom they have not heard, that we are all debtors to all men and have the responsibility of taking the Gospel to them (Rm 10:14-15; Mt 28:19-20).

 
PERSONAL SEPARATION
 
We Believe in the believers duty to ecclesiastical separation, abstaining from worldly practices, and live a life devoted to GOD (Rm 12:1-2).
