God's Word


No Denomination will take you to Heaven. Jesus Christ is the Only way.

We preach the Word of God - Not Denomination


God
There is only one true, living, and eternal God. The Godhead is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit....(A) One True and Eternal God: Deut. 6:4; 33:27; Jer. 10:10; Matt. 3:15-16; 28:19; Mk. 12:29; Jn. 14:9-11; 10:30; Rom. 8:9-11; I Cor. 8:4-6; II Cor. 3:17; I Thess. 1:9; I Tim. 1:17; 2:5; 6:17; Heb. 1:1-13; 3:12. (B) The Godhead: 1. God as Father: Gen. 1:1; Matt. 6:9; Eph. 4:6. 2. God as Son: Isa. 9:6; Matt. 16:16; Jn. 1:1; 3:14, 16; 14:28; I Cor. 15:28; Heb. 1:8.

Man
God created man in His own image to bring Him honor through obedience, and when man disobeyed, he became a fallen and sinful creature, unable to save himself. Infants are in the covenant of God¹s grace and that all persons become accountable to God when they reach a state of moral responsibility...(A) Man¹s Origin: Gen. 1:26-27; 2:7; Ps. 8:5.

Salvation
Salvation (regeneration, sanctification, justification and redemption) has been provided for all mankind through the redemptive work (life, death, resurrection, ascension, and intercession) of Jesus Christ. Salvation can be received only through repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ...Salvation: Heb. 5:9; I Thess. 5:9; I Pet. 1:9; Heb. 7:25. Regeneration: Jn. 3:3-8; 1:11-13; I Pet. 1:23; Eph. 2:1-10; II Cor. 5:17; II Pet. 1:4; Titus 3:5.

Repentance: Isa. 55:6-7; Lk. 24:47; Lk. 13:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Thess. 1:9-10. Faith: Jn. 3:16-18; Heb. 11:1, 6; I Pet. 1:5.


Assurance and Endurance
Those who abide in Christ have the assurance of Salvation. However, the Christian retains his freedom of choice; therefore, it is possible for him to turn away from God and be finally lost.   (A) Assurance: Matt. 28:20; I Cor. 10:13; Heb. 5:9.

(D) Finally Lost: Jn. 15:6; I Cor. 9:27; Heb. 6:4-6.

Christian Duties
Christians should live faithfully by serving in and through the local church, praying diligently, witnessing earnestly, practicing tolerance, showing loving kindness, giving as God prospers, and conducting themselves in such a way as to bring glory to God.   (A) Faithful Service: I Chron. 16:11; Ps. 101:6; Matt. 28:18-20; Jn. 15:7-14; Rom. 12:14; I Cor. 13; II Cor. 8, 9; Eph. 4, 6; Heb. 12:1.

The Church

The Church Universal is the Body of Christ, the fellowship of all believers, and its members have been called out from the world to come under the dominion and authority of Christ, its head. A local church is a fellowship of Christians, a part of the Body of Christ, voluntarily banded together for worship, nurture, and service.
(A) The Church Universal: Matt. 16:18; Jn. 10:10; I Cor. 3:16; 12:12-14, 27; Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18, 24; Heb. 12:23. (B) The Local Church: Matt. 18:17; Acts 2:38-47; 11:19-30; Rev. 1:4; 3:22. 1. Worship and Service: Rom. 12:1; I Cor. 14:12, 23-25; Heb. 10:25; Ja. 1:26-27. 2. Nurture: Eph. 4; II Pet. 1:2-8; 3:18.

Ordinances
Baptism and the Lord¹s Supper are ordinances instituted by Christ to be observed by Christians only. The Biblical mode of baptism is immersion and that participation in the Lord¹s Supper should be open to all Christians. (Note: Several associations and local churches recognize feet washing as an ordinance. This should be left to the individual, and that neither the practice nor the non-practice of it should be any bar to fellowship, either in the church, the local association, the Presbytery, or the General Association. Jn. 13; I Tim. 5:10.)
