We believe:
The Bible, which is inspired by the Holy Spirit and inerrant in the original manuscripts is the infallible and authoritative Word of God. II Peter 1:21, “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy ghost.” Also, II Tim. 3:16,17
The personality of Satan, called the devil, has present control over an unregenerate mankind. I Peter 5:8, “Be sober, and vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” Also Eph. 2:2; Matt. 13:19,39; John 13:2; Eph. 6:11-12; II Cor. 4:4
The fallen and lost estate of man, whose total depravity makes necessary the new birth. Rom.3:10, “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one” Rom. 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Also Gen. 3:1-6; Gen 6:23; John 3:3; I Peter 1:18-19, 23
The reality of the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, death, resurrection, and present exaltation at God’s Right Hand and as well as a personal and imminent return. I Cor. 15:3-4, “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” I Cor. 15:51-52, “behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Also, John 1:14; Matt. 1:18; Phil. 2:5-8; Acts 1:11; I Thess. 4:13, 5:3
The atonement is by the substitutionary death and shed Blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. II Cor. 5:21, “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” Also, John 3:16; Rom. 3:24-28; I Pet. 2:24.
The resurrection of the saved unto everlasting life in the presence of Christ Jesus in heaven, and the resurrection of the unsaved into everlasting punishment, eternally separated form Christ. II Cor. 5;8, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” Also Thess. 4:13-17; Rev. 20:11-15; John 14:1-3; II Thess. 1:7-10
The church, the Body or Bride of Christ, consists only of those who are born again, for whom He now makes intercession in heaven, and for whom He shall come again. Eph. 1:22-23, “And hath put all things under His Feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.” Also Acts 2:46-47; Col. 1:18-20; Heb. 7:22-28; I John 2:1-2
Christ’s commission to the world is to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Matt. 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Also Matt. 5:16; Acts 1:8
