- We believe in the Deity of Christ (John 10:33); His Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14, Mt. 1:23, Lk. 1:35); His shed blood for Atonement (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1::14); His bodily resurrection (John11:25); His ascension (Acts 1:11)j; and His personal return to establish His Kingdom on Earth (Revelation 19:11-16).
- We believe that all men are by nature sinful and lost and that for salvation, Holy Spirit regeneration is absolutely essential (Romans 3:19).
- We believe that Satan is real, and that Hell is a place of eternal conscious punishment of all unsaved (Job 1:6,7, Matthews 25:46, Revelation 20:14,15).
