We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the conception of His body by the Holy Spirit and His birth by the virgin Mary, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that salvation is wholly of grace, but conditioned solely on repentance toward God and acceptance of Christ by faith. When the sinner has met these requirements, God justifies and regenerates him.
Justification is a judicial act absolving from punishment and restoring to divine favor.
Regeneration is the impartation of divine life effecting a change in the believer's nature. By the operation of the Holy Spirit through the Word, he is given a disposition to obey God. The Holy Spirit witnesses to this experience. We believe in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, that He personally dwells within and guides those who are true believers, and empowers them for service, giving to them various gifts and producing within their lives the fruits of Christian character. He comes to dwell within the believer.
