My Statement of Faith

*The Bible is the plenary verbally inspired Word of God.The Bible IS without error and is the complete Word Of God. I use only the King James Version. I believe that God not only inspired the Bible using the original writers, but has preserved this inspiration word perfect today in the KJV.I do not use, endorse or recommend any other version of the Bible.

*There is one God manifesting Himself in three persons- the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit- co-equal in all attributes and power.

*The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died a vicarious death on the cross where He shed His blood for the remission of man's sins. I believe that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin (Heb 9:22). The shed blood of Jesus is a must for salvation.

*The Holy Spirit of God (and is God) convicts man of sin, righteousness and judgment. He regenerates the sinner; He indwells, seals, baptizes, guides, teaches, sanctifies and intercedes for believers.

*Salvation is that work of God whereby whosoever will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ is redeemed from the curse of the law, justified, kept, and set free from the dominion of sin, sanctified and finally perfected in the image of his Lord. Salvation is the gift of God and comes solely by the grace of God though faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross.

*The local church is a group of scripturally baptized believers united together for the spreading of the Gospel, the edification of the saints, the worship of the Lord and upholding of God's truth. It is through the local church that God is working His program today.

The Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and rose again; He ascended bodily, personally and visibly and He will return in like manner.

I believe once a person is saved, they should follow the Lord in baptism and that baptism should be by immersion. Sprinkling is NOT an acceptable means of baptism.
