THIS CHURCH BELIEVES, PREACHES, AND PRACTICES THE TEACHINGS OF
THE WORD OF GOD.
WE ARE CONVINCED THAT GOD RICHLY REWARDS
THOSE WHO LEARN HIS TEACHINGS, BELIEVE AND
PRACTICE THEM. ALSO, THOSE WHO DO NOT
LEARN, BELIEVE, OR PRACTICE THEM SUFFER
UNTOLD LOSS.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE DOCTRINES GOD Holy Script TEACHES AND WE
BELIEVE:
1. We believe in God — God the Father — God the Son and God
the Holy Spirit. 1st John 5:7.
2. We believe that Jesus Christ was and is God from all
eternity as the Word. John 1:1, 2, 14.
3. We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person in the
Trinity, is God. Romans 15:13; Acts 1:2; I John 5:7.
4. We believe that God created all things, including man.
Col. 1:16; Gen. 1:1; 2:7.
5. We believe in the sovereignty of God, in the salvation of
men and in all things and that nothing can come to pass contrary to
his divine will. Isaiah 40:12-31; Eph. 1:4-12; Rom. 9:15-16.
6. We believe there is a heaven and a hell and that they are
real places. Rev. 4:1,2; Rev. 20:10-15.
7. We believe in the total depravity of man. There is nothing
good in him until God gives him a new heart, until God makes him a
new creation in Christ. Isa. 1:5-6; Ps. 58:3; Jer. 17:9; Rom. 3:9,
20; Ps. 51:5.
8. We believe that salvation of men is altogether of grace —
God’s grace — and not by any good works of man. Eph. 2:8-10; Titus
3:5.
This salvation comes as the result of God’s choosing. Eph. 1:4-5.
For this choosing and salvation to become effective, it was
necessary for Christ to die for our sins and rise from the dead the
third day. Eph. 1:7; Acts 3:18; Acts 17:3; 1st Cor. 15:17-20.
We also believe it is necessary for man to hear the gospel of
Christ, to come to REPENTANCE and FAITH in Christ before salvation
is consummated. 2nd Thess. 2:13; John 3:14-18, 36; Acts 20:21.
9. We believe in Evangelism — the simple, scriptural
proclamation of the gospel of Christ. Matt. 28:19-20; 1st Cor.
15:1-4.
10. We believe in the security of the believer. After he is
born again he is a child of God and can never cease to be a child of
God. John 14:10, 11; John 6:37; John 10:27-30; Col. 1:27.
11. We believe that Jesus founded the Church while He was yet
on earth and ADDED to the Church on the day of Pentecost. Matt.
16:18; 18:17; Heb. 2:12; Acts 2:41,47.
12. We believe that only a local Church founded on the same
principles as the Church Jesus founded while He was yet on earth can
be called a true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, that it is a
self-governing body and that it must ever be free from all outside
human control or dictation. 1st Peter 5:2, 3; Acts 11:22; Acts 16:4,
5; Acts 15:22-28.
13. We believe that baptism is immersion. It is to show forth
the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord. It also shows our
own death to sin and resurrection to a new life. Acts 8:38; Col.
2:12; Rom. 6:3, 4. It is not for salvation, but is a work of
righteousness. Matt. 3:15.
14. We believe that one must be scripturally baptized
(immersed) to first enter a New Testament Church. 1st Cor. 12:13;
Eph. 4:5; Col. 1:24.
15. We believe that the Lord’s supper is a local Church
ordinance; (I Cor. 11:2) and can only be observed in the Church; (I
Cor. 11:18, 20) and that it is restricted to the members of the
Church observing it; we also believe that it is threefold in nature:
a supper of commemoration or a memorial supper, a supper of
proclamation, and a supper of anticipation. I Cor. 11:25, 26.
16. We believe members may move from one
church to another of like faith and order by letter or perhaps in
some rare cases be received by statement. Romans 16:1-2.
17. We believe in both home and foreign missions. To be an
obedient church, every church must have a part in sending out
missionaries. God requires that missionaries be sent directly by a
local New Testament Church. Matt. 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8; Acts 13:2, 3.
18. We believe in tithing. The Old Testament commanded it.
The Lord Jesus endorsed it. Mal. 3:10; Luke 11:42.
19. We believe in the Premillenial return of our Lord, first,
to catch away his own to be forever with Him; and then to return to
rule the world in person for one thousand years. 1st Thess. 4:14-18;
Rev. 20:4; Luke 1:32; Zech. 14:4, 9.
20. We believe in the judgment of rewards for God’s children.
1st Cor. 3:11-15.
21. We believe in the judgment of damnation for those who
will not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev.
20:5, 11-15.
