The Bible We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired word of God. The Bible is preserved to the English speaking people through the 1611 King James Version ONLY. (2^nd Timothy 3:16, 2^nd Peter 1:1-23) The Church We believe that the New Testament Church is a congregation of baptized believers practicing New Testament principles, holding forth it's doctrines, observing its ordinances, which are baptism and the Lord's Supper, exercising it autonomy, and proclaiming Christ's Gospel. (Matthew 16:16-18) Faith Promise Missions We believe in the support of New Testament, fundamental, Bible believing missionaries all over the world and the United States of America. We support missionaries through Faith Promise monies that are given above and beyond the tithes and offerings of our members. (Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19, 20; Malachi 3:10) Heaven and Hell We believe in the eternal blessedness of the saved in heaven and the eternal punishment apart from God in Hell for the lost. (Revelation 21:4. Luke 16:19-31) Man We believe that God created man in His image and by his own personal choice fell into sin and death. Hence every person is sinful and under condemnation. (Genesis 1:26-27, Romans 3:10, 23) The Return of Christ We believe in the eminent pre-millennial, pre-tribulation return of Jesus Christ. (1^st Thessalonians 4:13-18, John 14:1-3) Salvation We believe that salvation is wholly of grace and that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only salvation. (John 3:16, Acts 16:30-31) Security of the Believers We believe that those who have received the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are eternally saved. The security of the believe rests upon the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary. (1^st John 5:11-13, John 10:28) Separation We believe in the personal separation and ecclesiastical separation. We take a separate stand against Neo Orthodoxy, Neo Evangelicalism, Ecumenical Movement and any other movement undermining the fundamentals of faith. (2^nd Corinthians 6:14-17, 2^nd Thessalonians 3:6) The Person of God We believe in God, the supreme personal eternal being, the source and beginning of all things, absolute in His attributes existing in the Trinity. (Genesis 1:1-2, Psalms 53:1) The Person of Jesus Christ We believe in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, His deity, His sinless life and vicarious death. We believe in His bodily resurrection and ascension and His personal pre-millennial return. (Romans 9:5, Philippians 2:5-11) The Person of the Holy Spirit We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit.  We believe that He executes the divine plan for our salvation. He indwells the believers and empowers them for service. (John 16:7-13, Acts 5:3-4)
