Personal Statement of Faith
I believe
- in the plenary inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures in their original languages,
- in the sufficiency of the Scriptures as the rule for all matters of faith and practice,
- in the Trinity of the one true God in three persons,
- in the 6-literal day Creation,
- in the sinful rebellion of all mankind,
- in the Person of Christ (including His pre-incarnate eternality, virgin birth, sinless life, death on the cross, burial, resurrection, and ascension) and Gospel (that all people have a decision to surrender or reject Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior),
- in the one way of salvation being the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross,
- in the call of all Believers to discipleship,
- in the local church being essential for spiritual health, community and the primary method of God for the evangelism and discipleship of the world,
- in the imminent, personal return of Jesus Christ,
- in eternity: the unsaved to eternal torment in Hell and the saved ushered to the presence of Christ at the moment of death.
