Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe:
• The Bible is the inerrant Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. We believe that it is true for now and for all eternity, and that it holds the answer to every person’s problem, whatever it may be.
2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 3:16,17
• We believe there is only one God and He exists eternally as a trinity being: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7
• We believe all men were created in the image of God but separated from God because of sin. Genesis 1:26
• We believe the only way to God the Father is through Jesus Christ. We believe that salvation is a free gift of God and can be received by believing in the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We must also confess to God that we have sinned and then ask for forgiveness.
Ephesians 2:8,9 Romans:5:1; Romans 3:24
• We believe that Jesus will return suddenly one day and take all of those who have accepted Him as their Savior, to be with Him in heaven for eternity. Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28
• We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus.Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13
• We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God's will. Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4
• We believe that God gives spiritual gifts to all believers. These gifts are to be used to edify, encourage, up-lift and strengthen the church. They are also proof of God’s existence and power to the unbeliever. Romans 12: 6-8 1Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10
• We believe hell is a real place. We believe it is a place of great suffering, torment and permanent separation from God. We believe it is for those who die without accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. Revelation 20:12-15
• We believe that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
