Ephesians 5:1-2
WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God
(II Tim. 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21).
WE BELIEVE that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matt. 3:16-17).
WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory
(Matt. 1:21-23, 3:17, 28:7; John 12:37; Acts 1:9-11; Heb. 4:15).
WE BELIEVE that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Titus 3:5)
WE BELIEVE that salvation is by grace through faith alone and not a result of any work
(Ephesians 2:8-9).
WE BELIEVE in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, empowered to witness and given spiritual gifts for the common good of the Body of Christ, the Church
(John 7:37-39; Acts 1:8; Gal. 5:22-23; I Cor. 12:4-7, 11; I Peter 4:10).
WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, those that are saved to the resurrection of eternal life, and those that are lost to the resurrection of eternal separation from God
(I Thes. 5:16-18; Rev. 20:11-15).
