Statement of Faith

 
  • The Bible is the complete, inspired Word of God and contains no errors
  • There is One God existing in three persons "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" (Elohim)
  • The God of the universe hates sin
  • Mankind was created in the Garden of Eden, and was perfect without sin, in the beginning
  • Adam and Eve were the first created humans on this planet
  • Adam and Eve sinned by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, even though God commanded that they not eat from that tree
  • Because of Adam and Eve's original sin, all offspring are born into a state of sin, we all inherit a sin nature
  • All people are sinners (we have all broken God's laws)
  • The penalty of sin is death, the result of sin is eternal separation from the presence of God; total and utter separation
  • Sinful man cannot "undo" his sinfulness, he cannot save himself according to God
  • This presents all men and women with a problem: If man cannot save himself, then what, if anything, can be done to restore mankind in the eyes of God?
  • God has provided a way out of this problem, but ONLY one way out
  • Every person must make a personal choice whether to accept or reject God's provision (salvation)
  • Trust in the promises and in the person of Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation
  • This gift of salvation is totally free and cannot be earned or purchased
  • According to the Lord, we are saved by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works lest any man should boast
  • The Lord wants you to accept His free gift so that you can be restored and made into a new creature
  • The final decision is yours.  Will you choose life, or death? 

Acts 16: 25-34, New Living Translation:

25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. 27The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul shouted, “Don't harm yourself! We are all here!”

   29The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

   31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household.” 32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God–he and his whole family.
