Affirmation of Faith

Affirmation Of Faith 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose again from the dead: he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost: the Universal church: the communion of saints: the forgiveness of sins: the Resurrection of the body: and the life everlasting. Amen

Salvation

We believe that every person is a sinner, needs regeneration, and must make a personal commitment of faith in Jesus Christ who offered his life as a substitution for our sin. We do not believe that any are saved or damned regardless of his/her own will. All infants dying in infancy, and all persons who have never had the faculty of reason are saved mercifully through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Preservation of Believers

We believe that a person who is truly regenerated will not totally fall from a state of grace, but will be preserved to everlasting life. Christ is as interested in keeping us saved as He is in saving us. This does not mean that one can “do as he pleases” after he accepts Christ as his Savior, but if he/she is truly regenerated and if he/she really loves the Lord, he/she will not be satisfied with less than a life which is pleasing to Jesus Christ.

Sanctification 

Every child of God should use every means possible to grow in grace. We do not believe that a state of sinless perfection is possible in this life. Sanctification does not mean sinless perfection, but with diligence and zeal, it does mean a setting apart of one’s life for sacred use; therefore, we seek to live a sanctified life.

The Sabbath

We believe that with Christ’s resurrection, the worship day for Christians appropriately is resurrection day, the first day of the week. We believe that the same principles apply to the keeping of that day as set forth in the Bible concerning the Sabbath which is observed by the Jewish believers.
