- Concerning the Scriptures
We believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of the Scriptures (Old and New Testaments). By verbal, we mean that the original writers were guided by the Holy Spirit in the exact choice of words yet respecting and using the personality characteristics, style and vocabulary of each writer. By the word plenary, we believe that this […]
- Concerning The Godhead
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 […]
- Concerning Man
His Original Nature: Man was directly and immediately created in the image of God, free from sin. He was created with a rational nature, great intelligence and moral responsibility to God (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:15-25; James 3:9).

2) We […] - Concerning Satan and Angels
Their Origin: The angels were all created by God as a great host of sinless spirit beings, most of whom kept their first estate of holiness and presently worship God and serve His purposes (Psalms 148:2-5; Matthew 26:53; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:14).
The Fall of Some: One of the angels, Lucifer, fell through the sin of […] - Concerning The Church
Its Nature: All who have placed their faith in Christ are united together immediately by the Holy Spirit in one spiritual body, the Church, of which Christ is the Head. We believe that the present Church Age or Dispensation of Grace began when Christ raised up the Apostle Paul to be the Apostle to the […]
- Concerning The Last Things
The Intermediate State: At death, the souls of the redeemed pass immediately into the presence of Christ and there remain in joyful fellowship until the first resurrection, that is their bodily resurrection unto life. The souls of the unsaved at death descend immediately into Hades where they are kept under punishment […]
