We
hold the Bible as the Holy Word of God, free from
error in its originals, kept through the ages, right
down to the present day, as found in the King James
Version and in the translations in other languages
that are based thereupon. We consider this version,
and its translation in other languages, our final
and absolute authority, above and beyond all other
authority. God is one, eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are infinite
in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love.
(1Jn 5:7)
Man
was created in the image and likeness of God, "male
and female created He them" (Genesis
1:27); but through the sin of Adam, all
Adam´s descendants are sinful from conception,
therefore, are lost apart from Christ. (Romans
3:23). Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God. (John
3:3)
Jesus
was the perfect sacrifice: He died on a cross,
but on the third day, He rose again, conquering
death, so that all that believe and receive
Him are able to come back to God and live for
eternity with their creator.
Salvation
is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness
of sins and the gift of eternal life. Salvation
is received by faith alone, apart from all
good works and merit. (Romans
6:23, Ephesians
2:8,9)
The
church is composed of all those regenerated
by the Spirit of God by whom they have been
baptized into one body of whom Christ is the
head. The purpose of the church is to witness
concerning Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures,
and to preach the Gospel to every creature.
(Acts 17:24)
(Mark 16:15)
Jesus
Christ will come again to receive unto Himself
those who believe in Him, that where He is,
they may be also. He will come again personally
and visibly to establish His kingdom. (John
14:3, Matthew
24:30, Luke
21:27)
God
is Love (I John
4:8), thus Love is the greatest force in
the world and the solution for all the problems
of mankind.
