OUR BELIEFS ABOUT God
1. The Bible in its entirety is the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16)
2. There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, Creator of all things. (1 John 5:4-6)
3. We affirm the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious & atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and his imminent, personal future return to this earth in power and glory. (2 Timothy 3:16) 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 2:21-24; John 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
4. We affirm the eternal reward of the saved & eternal punishment of the lost. Heaven & Hell are real. (John 5:24, 28-29)
5. We affirm the personal salvation of mankind exclusively through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. (John 3:16; Acts 4:12)
6. God’s plan for human sexuality & marriage is specifically and narrowly defined in the Bible. The celebration and/or promotion of sexual deviancy (of any kind) or attempted distortion of the New Testament model for human sexuality & marriage constitutes open, unabashed rebellion against God and defies his specific, well- defined plan for human sexuality & marriage found throughout the Holy Scriptures. (Matthew 19:4-6)
