What We Believe
The common faith for which we are exhorted to earnestly contend
Common Faith
The following are the eight points of the common faith based upon the facts in the Bible. All of our speaking and practices are based on and flow out of these Biblical truths.
The Bible
The Bible is the complete divine revelation inspired by God, word-by-word through the Holy Spirit. (2 Pet. 1:21: 2 Tim. 3:16)
Triune God
God is uniquely one, yet triune-the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. (1 Tim. 2:5a; Matt. 28:19)
Jesus Christ
The Son of God, even God Himself, was incarnated to be a man by the name of Jesus Christ. (John 1:1, 14)
Redemption
Christ died on the cross for our sins, shedding His blood for our redemption. (1 Pet. 2:24; Eph. 1:7a)
The Resurrection
Christ was resurrected from among the dead on the third day. (1 Cor. 15:4)
Ascension
Christ ascended to the right hand of God to be the Lord of all. (Acts 1:9; 2:33, 36)
Salvation
Whenever any person repents to God and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, he is regenerated (born again) and becomes a living member of the Body of Christ. (Acts 20:21; John 3:3; Eph 1:22-23; Rom 12:5)
The Lord's Return
Christ is coming again to receive His believers to Himself. (1 Thes. 2:19)
