Our Belief

GOD EXISTS

See Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:6; Psalms 14:1 and 53:1; Gen. 17:1; Gen. 21:33; Exodus 8:10; Ex. 18:11; Mark 12:32; John 17:3; Romans 3:4; 1 Tim: 3:16, and many, many more.

Webster defines God as the “Supreme Being,” which might satisfy the multitudes, but it is not good enough for Jehovah. Nowhere does the Bible speak of the creator of the world by such an appellation! It is especially improper when compared with, or in contrast to, other “Supreme Beings” of human religions! Muslims name theirs :Allah,”; Hindus use the term “Brahman,:; Taoists employ the title “Tao,”; and Shintoists claim hundreds of religious leaders. John states it correctly, “...they might know thee, the only true God. (John 17:3) God is revealed only in inspired scripture--no other source! As to “proof” of God, please read Romans 1:19-20. See also Psalms 19:1-3.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, and ONLY SAVIOR

Prophesied to be born of a virgin, Matthew declared the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:15 in Mt. 1:23. Mt. 1:21 confirms Jesus as savior, with salvation available in no other person-Acts 4:12--foretold in Isa. 53:4-12. John declares Jesus as the only begotten son of God--John 3:16--exalted by God to wear the name “which is above every name, Philippians 2:9.Read as well, John, chapter ten.

The blood of Christ alone has the power to “wash away sins,”--Acts 22:16--by baptism into Christ, Gal. 3:27; Romans 6:3-7, where ALL spiritual blessings are--Eph. 1:3. Serious words are included in 1 John 2:22: “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is Christ? He is antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.”

THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES UP THE GODHEAD

HE IS A PERSON--NOT A ‘PERSONALITY' OR AN ‘IT.' Search the scriptures on this, or any other subject, and you will learn the absolute truth, delivered by the Holy Spirit--John 16:13. Read the following passages and see for yourself what the facts are: Mt. 3:16; John 14:26, 15:26; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8, 2:4.

His work: 1. To reveal truth-John 16:1
2. Confirm the word preached in the first century by wonders, signs, gifts, and miracles--Heb. 2:1-4.
3.Intercede in prayer--Rom. 8:26
4. Indwell Christians--Acts 5:32

Miraculous gifts, miracles, and baptism by the Spirit no longer exist, having been “done away” at the proper time--1 Cor. 13:8-13, James 1:25.

THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD, OUR FINAL AUTHORITY IN FAITH AND PRACTICE

Only inspired guide for the world--2 Tim. 3:16-17

No private interpretation allowed--2 Pet. 1:20-21

Warnings against perverting the gospel--Galatians 1:6-12; 1 Cor. 4:6; 2 John 9-11; Rev. 22:18-19

1 John 4:1

Only basis to “prove all things” and to know truth from error--Acts 17:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:21

There is no such thing as “modern revelation,” or “progressive revelation,” God speaks only through his son, in the Bible--Heb. 1:1-3; Mt. 17:1-5.

GOSPEL OF CHRIST THE ONLY POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION--NO EXCEPTIONS

Christ's authority, the gospel must be obeyed to be saved, the great commission issued for teaching truth--Romans 1:16, Heb. 5:8-9. Read Mt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:44-49; John 20:21-23.

1. The truth was preached :“to every creature under heaven," in Paul's ministry, Colossians 1:23.
2. Plan of salvation taught and illustrated in the book of Acts, beginning with
ch. 2.
      1. Hear Rom.10:13-17

      3. Repent - Acts 2:38, Luke 18:3
      4. Confess Christ - Mt. 10:32-33, Rom. 10:9-10
