We
hold the Bible as the Holy Word of God,
free from error in its originals, kept through
the ages, right down to the present day,
as found in the King James Version and in
the translations in other languages that
are based thereupon. We consider this version,
and its translation in other languages,
our final and absolute authority, above
and beyond all other authority. God is one,
eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, who are infinite in
glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power
and love. (1Jn
5:7)
Man
was created in the image and likeness of
God, "male and female created He them"
(Genesis
1:27); but through the sin of Adam,
all Adam´s descendants are sinful
from conception, therefore, are lost apart
from Christ. (Romans
3:23). Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. (John
3:3)
Jesus was the perfect sacrifice: He died
on a cross, but on the third day, He rose
again, conquering death, so that all that
believe and receive Him are able to come
back to God and live for eternity with their
creator.
Salvation is the gift of God and includes
the forgiveness of sins and the gift of
eternal life. Salvation is received by faith
alone, apart from all good works and merit.
(Romans
6:23, Ephesians
2:8,9)
The church is composed of all those regenerated
by the Spirit of God by whom they have been
baptized into one body of whom Christ is
the head. The purpose of the church is to
witness concerning Jesus Christ according
to the Scriptures, and to preach the Gospel
to every creature. (Acts
17:24) (Mark
16:15)
Jesus Christ will come again to receive
unto Himself those who believe in Him, that
where He is, they may be also. He will come
again personally and visibly to establish
His kingdom. (John
14:3, Matthew
24:30, Luke
21:27)
God is Love (I
John 4:8), thus Love is the greatest
force in the world and the solution for
all the problems of mankind.
