SALVATION
Salvation is the free gift of God, provided through the death, burial and ressurection of His son, Jesus Christ. It is obtained through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance is defined as a change of heart toward yourself and God. Realizing that you are wrong and he is right. It results in you admitting to God your failure at being righteous, and then recieving His free gift of perfect righteousness and salvation by faith.

• 2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

• Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish

• Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

• Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

• Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

• Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

• Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

• John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

• Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God. Willful sin on Adam’s part brought death, both physical death and the second death which is eternal punishment in the Lake of fire. Humans are born sinners and then become sinners by choice. Man's only hope is in the great salvation provided by God through his son, Jeus Christ. (see above "salvation")

• Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

• Psalms 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

• Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, the third member of the trinity, verily God, convincing men of sin, revealing Christ, teaching truth, restraining evil,encouraging believers in prayer, worship and service, He is always present in the believer as our comforter and helper, and intercessor. As God, the Holy Spirit retains all the attributes of Diety while always seeking to magnify Jesus Christ.

• Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

• 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

We Believe the Local Church an organism rather than an organization. The church is alive because of its founder, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is it's head, the local pastor the undershepherd. It is the "vehicle" God has ordained it to spread the gospel around the world, edifiy and encourage the saints of God, and to be a light in this dark world. Every believer should belong to a local bible believing church.

• Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him Even so, Amen.

• Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

• Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

• Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

We believe in the blessed hope, which is the return in the air of Jesus Christ to catch up his Bride, all believers who have put thier faith and trust in Him. The rapture is not the second coming. (see above), but rather the gathering of His saints to heaven. The rapture is pre-tribulational, meaning the church is NOT chosen by God to go through the "time of Jacobs trouble"

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

There are fifty four verses in the scripture on Hell. More than on any one subject.
• Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

• Mark 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mark 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mark 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Iasiah 66:24 is the Old Testament verse most quoted by Jesus Christ.
