  • His personal return in power in glory:Rev. 9:11-16

Faith in the Gospel of Grace

• We believethat salvation is totally dependent on God and His grace:Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 6:23; Acts 16:30,31
• We believethat the new birth of the believer comes through faith in Christ alone:John 1:12; 3:16, 18; 5:24; Acts 13:39; 16:31; Rom. 1:1617; 3:22, 26; Gal. 3:22; Eph. 2:8,9; John 14:6
• We believethat repentance* is a vital part of saving faith in Jesus Christ and not a separate work. We do not believe that any actionssuch as baptism, prayer, a reformed lifestyle, or faithful servicecan be added to repentant faith as a condition for eternal salvation:Acts 20:21; Heb. 6:1; 2 Pet. 3:9
• *Repentance (Greek metanoia), as used in New Testament theology, means to change your mind at a heart level (mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation) about God, Jesus, sin, and dead works.
• We believeit is the privilege of all who are born again by the Spirit, through faith in Christ, to be assured of their salvation from the very day they take Him to be their Savior as revealed in Scripture:Luke 10:20; 2 Cor. 5:1, 68; 2 Tim. 1:12; 1 John 5:13; John 5:24
• We believethat all true believers everywhere, once saved, shall be kept saved forever:John 5:24; Eph. 1:3-14; John 10:29

• We believe, however, that God is a holy and righteous Father and cannot overlook the sin of His children. When they persistently sin, He will chasten them and correct them in His infinite love:Prov.3:11-12; Isaiah 6:1-5; Rom. 3:25-26; Heb. 12:9-11; 1 John 2:1-2; Rev. 3:19

Faith in Gods Plan

• We believein the bodily resurrection and judgment of all men. Believers will be resurrected to enjoy eternal life with God, and unbelievers will be resurrected to suffer eternal judgment and separation from God:Luke 16:19-26; Luke 23:39-43; Phil. 1:23; 2 Thess. 1:6-10; Jude 6-7; Rev. 20:11-15

• We believethe primary responsibility of all who are saved is to work toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission. All worldly and personal ambitions should be lower in priority than the supreme command of making disciples:Matt.28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 17:18, 20:21; Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:18-20
