Doctrinal Statement

1. The Bible is the inspired, infallible, preserved Word of God. (II Timothy 3: 16)

2. I believe that the Authorized KJV Bible is the very Word of God preserved in the English Language. (Psalm 12:6,7, Proverbs 30: 5)

3. God is a Trinity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are One.

4. God Created Heaven and earth in six literal days. (Genesis 1:1,2) 

5. Mankind is depraved, which means men are under sin and cannot save themselves. (Galatians 3:22, Romans 3:23; Titus 3:5)

6. I believe in the blood atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. He didn’t have to die, but He chose to die a substitutionary death for us in order to reconcile us to God the father. (II Corithians 5:21, Romans 5:11) 

7. Salvation is by grace through faith plus nothing and minus nothing: just simply put your trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ (his death, burial and resurrection) (Ephesians 2:8,9; I John 5:12,13; Titus 3:5)

8. The believer has eternal security. Once you have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can’t ever be lost. It is impossible. You are saved to the uttermost, and your salvation is kept by the power of God. (1 Peter 1:4,5; John 10:28)

9. God gives man a free will. Man has a choice whether to receive Jesus Christ to go heaven or to reject Him and go to Hell. It’s up to man. 

10. Heaven and Hell are literal, eternal places. 

11. I believe in the imminent, pre-tribulation rapture of all born again, blood-washed believers. (1 Corinthians 15; 1 Thessalonians 4; Rev. 4:1)

12. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with His saints is in order to set up His millennial visible kingdom on Earth. (Revelation 19-20)

13. The great commission for believers is to witness to and win and disciple the lost. (Matthew 28:19-20)

14. God calls both men and women to the mission field.
