We
believe the
King
James 1611 "Authorized
Version" Bible to be the perfect and infallible word of God.
We
believe the
King
James Bible to be the inherent,
infallible, inspired, preserved Word of God. The KJB translators, out
of the
original sacred tongues, together with comparing many worthy men who
went
before them have given us one more exact translation of the Holy
Scriptures
into the English tongue and for this the Church is forever grateful.
We
believe that
salvation
is by grace through faith
in the blood and finished atonement of Jesus Christ who died on
Calvary, was
buried, whose soul descended into hell, resurrected on the third day,
and is
alive for evermore having conquered death and hell.
We
believe that
believers
should be immersed in water
after being saved. Such believer's baptism is an ordinance but is not a
means
of grace.
We
believe in
a
pre-millennial translation or rapture
of the Church.
We
believe the
miracle
signs and gifts to belong
primarily to Israel, dispensationally speaking, and that these signs as
practiced by the Charismatics and Apostolics are exercised mainly in
the flesh,
are most often fraudulent, and sometimes demonic and devilish in nature.
We
believe that
a
depraved and sinful nature and a
naturally dead spirit does not hinder a man from being a free moral
agent who
is capable and expected by God to will and believe and respond to the
admonitions of the Gospel. Men are free to reject God’s graciousness in
providing a free salvation. Further, Jesus Christ died for “all”
without
exception, and that he by the grace of God tasted death for every man.
We
believe that
we
are not under the law, but under
grace; however the law still has its place in the day of grace. The law
is
just, holy, and good if a man use it lawfully; for by the law is the
knowledge
of sin, and sin is the transgression of the law. The law must be
preached to
bring guilt and conviction to a lost man. The law is our schoolmaster
to bring
us unto Christ. The law is perfect converting the soul. It is the law
that
declares the holiness of God and the depravity of man, showing man his
need to
repent and be saved.
We
believe a
man
is secured in his salvation
eternally and unconditionally at the moment he believes, because Jesus
Christ
obtained eternal redemption for us. This condition is secured by the
numerous
irreversible works of God and the Holy Ghost.
We
believe that
the
saints should be separate from
the world as pilgrims and sojourners that the world is evil in its
nature and
that Satan, as the god of this world, is its primary god and governor.
We
believe in
the
active and vigorous pursuit of lost
sinners by street preaching, tract distribution, door-to-door
witnessing and
any other reasonable and appropriate methods of sowing the seed of the
word of
God.
We
believe the
Trinitarian
doctrine of the Godhead
and therefore believe Jesus Christ not only to be the Son of God but
also God
Himself, the image of God, God manifest in the flesh. We also find
abundant
evidence that the Holy Ghost as both God’s and Christ’s Spirit is
Himself God,
as well.
We
believe in
a
literal judgment for all men. Both saved
and lost shall be judged after death. The saved shall stand before the
judgment
seat of Christ where only believers shall be judged according to their
works
and may suffer loss of rewards. The lost shall stand before the Great
White
Throne of Judgment where they will also be judged according to their
works but
shall suffer God’s eternal wrath for rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ as
their
Savior.
We
believe in
a
literal, hot and burning Hell and
future Lake of Fire where Christ rejecters shall spend eternity.
