WHAT WE BELIEVE?

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the inspired and infallible Word of God, that they are without error (in the original languages) and the only foundation for faith, doctrine, and conduct.

(2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

We believe in one God, existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, eternal and equal to each other.

(Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God.

We believe that man sinned, bringing upon himself not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; we believe that all are born sinful.

(Romans 5:12, 18).

We believe in the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

(John 1:1-2; 10:30; 14:19).

In His virgin birth by Mary (Matthew 1:23), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), His miracles (John 2:11), His substitutionary and redemptive death (Romans 3:23-26; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Colossians 1:14; 1 John 1:7; Hebrews 10:19), His bodily resurrection (Matthew 28:6; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:4), His ascension to heaven and sitting at the right hand of God the Father.

We believe that He is the giver and baptizer with the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 4:14; 8:1), and we believe in His future return to earth in power and glory.

(Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13).

We believe in the reality of the existence of Satan and his kingdom.

(Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:9-10).

We believe in the baptism of believers by immersion in water in the name of the Eternal God, fulfilling Christ’s commandment.

(Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:37-38; Acts 19:1-6).

We believe that believing parents should bring their newborn children to the church and dedicate them to God.

(Mark 10:13-16; Matthew 19:13-15).

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an experience for believers after receiving salvation.

(Acts 2:1-4; Acts 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15).

We believe in a life filled with the Holy Spirit and sanctified, and in pursuing holiness and reverence for God as an example of Christian faith.

(Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Romans 12:2; Galatians 6:14).

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their manifestations as outlined in 1 Corinthians 12-14.

We believe that all believers should regularly participate in the Lord’s Supper – Communion.

(1 Corinthians 11:23-32; Matthew 26:26-28).

We believe in the eternal life of the saved (John 5:24; 3:16) and the eternal damnation of the unsaved (Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15).
