What We Believe |
|
|
We believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son, being at the same time fully God and fully man. Jesus, through His Substitutionary atoning death and bodily resurrection, has provided the meritorious basis of our justification, which, by God's grace, we receive by faith alone. We believe the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, indwells the hearts of believers, effecting their regeneration and operating in their sanctification. We believe that Christ has established a visible church which is called to live in the power of the Holy Spirit under the regulation of the authority of Holy Scripture, and is the sole institution through which God works out redemption. We believe the Scriptures are the sole source of special revelation whereby God has revealed His redemptive plan and will for His people, acknowledging it to be inerrant, infallible, and inspired by God and carrying the full weight of His authority. We believe in the second coming of Christ, the ultimate hope of all believers and the motivation of sanctification at which time all believers will experience the bodily resurrection and eternal glorification. |
