Tenets of Faith

We Believe in...

• the verbal inspiration of the original Scriptures
• the absolute Trinity of the eternal Godhead
• the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
• the reality and personality of the devil
• the natural depravity of the human race
• the substitutionary atonement
• the propitiation for sin only by the blood of Jesus Christ
• full salvation by grace through faith and not of works
• divine healing through atonement
• the anointing with oil and prayer for the sick
• the personal baptism of the Holy Ghost as revealed by the apostles
• the necessity of the new birth
• the water baptism by immersion at an age of accountability
• the one and only Church composed of all blood washed believers
• the evangelization of the heathen and the nations of the world
• obedience to those over us in civil government
• loyalty and obedience to those in authority over us in the Lord
• tithing as God's financial plan
• restitution for past wrongs whenever possible
• an open table at the Lord's supper and foot washing
• the free moral willpower of man who can apostatize and backslide and therefore be lost
• the maintenance of good works and holy living
• the victorious life over sin, self, and bad habits by Bible study, and an incessant prayer life
• Christian perfection and holiness through consecration and absolute surrender
• Christian modesty in the matters of dress, wearing apparel and jewelry
• the keeping of the Lord's day as a matter of privilege rather than law as regards to recreation and liberty
• the conscience existence of the soul
• the resurrection of our literal bodies - the just and unjust
• a literal heaven, and everlasting life for all true believers
• a final day of judgment for the incorrigible wicked
• the everlasting punishment of the impenitent
• the personal, literal, and bodily pre-millennial Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
• a future literal thousand-year Reign of Christ on earth with all His saints
• the Judgment Seat of Christ, where saints will be rewarded for their deeds of commission and omission
• Christian tolerance for all denominations of the Christian faith
• essentials (unity), non-essentials (liberty), in all things (charity)
