Doctrine of Scripture The Bible is God's inspired, infallible, written Word of God. It is the only and final authority and without error in what it teaches and affirms. There are no other writings that are vested with such divine authority.
Doctrine of God There is only one true God. He exists eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; each completely God yet each personally distinct from the other. God is the creator and maker of all things. Isaiah 44:24
Doctrine of Sin Everyone, regardless of race, gender, social class, or intellectual ability, was created in God's image and for communion (fellowship) with God. But because of sin (disobedience) that communion was broken and all of humanity was separated from God, who is the source of all life. Because of the fall, everyone deserves God's judgement.
Doctrine of Salvation Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and God gives salvation and eternal life to hose who repent and ask for forgiveness and trust in him. Salvation cannot be earned through good works or human effort. It is a gift (promise) that is received by repentance and faith in Christ, His Death on the cross, His Burial and His Resurrection from the dead.
Doctrine of Christ Jesus Christ, the second person of the trinity, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary (he was God robed in human flesh). He lived a sinless human life, he willingly took upon himself our sins by dying (as the sacrifice atonement) for our sins, in our place and on our behalf. He rose bodily, victorious over death. He ascended into Heaven and is at the right hand of the Father where he is the intercessor, mediator, and advocate of the believer. Some day he will return to consummate and fulfill the eternal plan of God.
Doctrine of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit (Ghost), the third Person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin, gives new life, and teaches the believers, those who trust in Jesus. He indwells all believers and is available to empower them to lead a Christ-like (Christian life). The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts with which to serve fellow believers and reach out to the lost and those in need of this world.
Doctrine of Judgement The Judgement seat of Christ (JSC) is where the believer will receive rewards, crowns and judge the world. The Great White Throne judgement (GWT) is the final judgement, where the unbelievers at this time they will be eternally separated from God. Those that are written in the "Lambs Book of Life" will be eternally with God.
Doctrine of the Church All believers are members of the Body of Christ (his Bride), the one true church universal, Spiritual unity is to expressed among Christians by acceptance and love of one another across ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, national, generational, gender and denominational lines. The local church is a group of believers who gather for worship (in obedience to God's Word), Prayer, Instruction, Encouragement, Fellowship, and Community (relationship) with each other, as a witness (testimony) to the world.
