Men of Faith

Belief Statement

ONE TRUE GOD: Genesis 1:1; Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 43:10-11 - We believe the one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM”, the creator of Heaven and Earth.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: Colossians 1:15-22; I Thessalonians 4:16; 1 Peter 3:18 - We believe that Jesus Christ is the “Image of the invisible God” and that in Him “all deity dwells in bodily form.” We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin, His literal bodily resurrection from the dead, His present ministry of intercession in Heaven, and His personal future return to the earth.

THE HOLY SPIRIT: John 14:16; Romans 8:14, 16; Ephesians 1:13; Philippians 1:6; Philippians 2:13 - We believe the Holy Spirit convicts men of sin and regenerates, indwells, seals , sets apart, and empowers all sincere believers for service and for Holy living and a Holy life. We believe that “God is at work within us both to will and work to His good pleasure” and that “He will continue to perfect us until the day of Christ Jesus.”

THE GODHEAD: Genesis 1:26; John 1:14, 15:26, 17:21; Ephesians 4:4-6 - We believe in the unity and trinity of the God head existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. These three persons are One God having the same nature, attributes, and perfection.

MAN: Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:22; Romans 3:23; Hebrews 9:27; Romans 5:12 - We believe that man was created in the image of God but was separated from God by sin and shall be judged. Only through the Blood of Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and eternal life be obtained.

SALVATION: Ephesians 2:8-10; I Corinthians 15:3-4; John 1:12 - We believe in salvation by grace, a free gift from God apart from works. Salvation comes through repentance, a turning from one’s own way to God’s way, and accepting Jesus Christ in personal faith.

THE SCRIPTURES: II Timothy 3:15, 16, 17; II Peter 1:19-21 - We believe both the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible to be the inerrant Holy work of God, inspired in every part by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the revelation of God for the equipping of man and is the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
