Ephesians 4:4-6
A living faith must experience a growing understanding of truth and must be continually interpreted and related to the needs of each new generation. The closer a church is in doctrine, the closer they are in fellowship and mission. We reaffirm our beliefs!
This I Believe about SALVATION
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and begins and ends with God and His purpose of grace.
The Three Basic Elements of Salvation:
· Conviction
· Repentance
· Faith
Believers are saved and fully justified before their faith ever produces a righteous work.
Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God’s grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus.
Justification is God’s gracious and full acquittal upon principles of His righteousness of all sinners who repent and believe in Christ.
Progressive Sanctification is the experience, beginning in regeneration, by which the believer is grown into the image of Christ.
The basic underlying meaning of sanctification is consecration, or separation, unto God.
Glorification is the culmination of salvation and is the final blessed and abiding state of the redeemed.
Security of the Believer - This is a combination of two great Biblical doctrines of the faith – Preservation of the Saints and Perseverance of the believer.
This I Believe About The Eternal State
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.
