The Word of God
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God1 and that it did not originate from the human will but rather God the Holy Spirit moved men to speak from God.2We believe that the Word of God alone is efficient and sufficient to bring a man to God and has ordained to do this through the preaching of the gospel, and that within the Word of God, He gave us everything pertaining to Godly living.3We believe that Holy Bible is free from any errors and contradictions.
Trinity
We believe that there is only one God in whom are three external, distinct, persons who exist and act at the same time. These persons are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All three persons are one God, and are coeternal and coequal. There is not three gods but one God. All three members agreed, planned, and contributed to the salvation of fallen man.
Salvation
We believe that the salvation of fallen man is an act of God alone. We do not believe that fallen man can contribute to his/her justification in any way. Not even through the participation of the ordinances of Christ such as baptism and the Lord’s supper. While all true believers must participate in these works/ordinances, it is not so that we may obtain salvation4, but as a response to being regenerated5. The work on the cross alone by Jesus Christ alone obtains our justification.
The Divinity of Christ
We confess that our Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, and was fully God, the second person of the Trinity. Jesus took upon flesh and added to His nature when He became man without loosing His divine nature. He chose out of His own free will to give up the free exercise of His divine powers and humbled himself even to the point of death. The miracles Jesus did perform were done through the power of the Holy Spirit. After Jesus Christ our Lord was resurrected, He ascended into heaven with His physical glorified body and sits at the right hand of the Father interceding for the elect.
The Supremacy of Christ in all Things
We declare the truth that our Lord Jesus Christ has been given all authority, both in heaven and on earth, by the Father. As such, we confess His supremacy in all aspect of life, not only of the believers, but also those who claim to be unbelievers. This is true do to the fact that the supremacy of Christ is not dependent on the acknowledgement of His creation, rather contained in the truth of His self existence.
