We believe in one God, who is a personal and eternal Spirit, perfect and unchangeable in all His attributes. This one God eternally exists in three persons, impossible of division, but capable of distinction as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All have precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections, and are worthy of precisely the same honor, confidence and obedience (Deut. 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; Psalm 90:1-2; Isaiah 45:5-6; Matt 3:16-17; Matt 16:16; Matt 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:1-14; Luke 22:70; Luke 11:13; John 10:30; John 14:10-11. John 16-17; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Heb. 1:1-3; Revelation 1:4-6).
God The Father:
We believe in God the Father as Creator of heaven and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. We marvel and rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer: and that He saves from sin, its power over our life, and from spiritual death. He also takes the fear out of physical death for all who come to Him through faith in the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ upon the cross (Gen. 1:1; Psalm 34:6; Psalm 147:5; John 1:3, John 3:36; John 6:27; Rom. 6:1-13; 1 Cor. 15:2-4; Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 2:14-15; 1 John 1:5, I John 2:1-2; Revelation 3:20, Revelation 19:6).
Jesus Christ:
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary; and is very God and very man. We believe that His death on the cross was substitutionary and representative and a sufficient atonement for the guilt of all men. We believe that He was bodily raised from the dead, and He ascended to the right hand of the Father where He now carries on a ministry as Advocate and Intercessor for believers. We believe in the personal, bodilv, and pre-tribulational return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His Church (the Rapture); and that after the Tribulation He will return with His saints to the earth to establish His Kingdom of righteousness, thus bringing to fruition all the unconditional promises made to the nation Israel (John 1:1,14; Luke 1:30-35; John 1:29; 1 Tim. 2:6; Rom. 3:25-26; 2 Cor. 5:14; Heb. 10:5-14; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1 Pet. 3:18; 1 John 2:2; 1 Cor. 15; Heb. 4:14-16; 1 John 2:1; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 1 Thess 5:9-10; Revelation 19-20).
The Holy Spirit:
We believe in the deity and the personality of the Holy Spirit and that He is said to be eternally “proceeding” from the Father and the Son. We believe that the Holy Spirit was God's agent in the revelation and the inspiration of His Word. We believe that it is the Holy Spirit who performs the work of salvation in the heart of the individual believer and, that He then indwells believers and bestows spiritual gifts upon them. (1 Cor. 2:11; Eph. 4:30; John 16:13-14; John 15:26; John 16:7- 8; 1 Cor. 6:14; Gen. 1:2; 2 Pet. 1:21; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 3:5; 1 Cor. 6:19-20; Rom. 5:5; 2 Cor. 1:22; 1 Cor. 12; Eph 5:18; John 7:37-39).
