The
Way to Heaven
Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father
except through me." (John 14:6)
What you should do:
- Admit
you are a sinner, and that only the Lord Jesus can save
you. (Romans 3:23)
- Repent
-- be willing to turn away from sin and submit to God, who
will help you overcome sin in your life. (Luke 13:5)
- Believe
that the Lord Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood
to pay the price for your sins, and that He rose to life
again by the power of God. (Romans 10:9).
- Confess that
Jesus is the lord of your life. (Romans 10:10)

What We Believe
Statement
of Faith
We believe that the Bible is the verbally
inspired Word of God.
We believe there is only one Living
and True God, maker of Heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible; and in Jesus
Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was with
God in the beginning, (Jn 1:1-2;14); and in the Holy
Spirit, the Spirit of Truth which proceeds from the
Father and Son, and is equal with the Father and Son, (I Jn
5:7) and is a gift to the believer (Jn 14:16-17, Acts 1:8,
Jn 15:26).
We believe in the virgin birth of
Jesus Christ and that He suffered, was crucified, died and
buried, the third day He rose again, He ascended into Heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of the Father, and His return
is imminent in order to judge the quick and dead (Mt 1:18-25,
Acts 2:22-24, 30-32, Mk 16, Lk 24, Acts 7:55-56, Eph 1:20-23,
Heb 1:3-4, Acts 1:11,II Thes 1:7-10).
We believe in the personality of Satan,
adversary of God and man (Gen 3:1-5, 14-15, Isa 14:12-14,
Ezek 28:12-15, Mt 4:1-11, II Cor 11:14, I Pet 5:8).
We believe that man was created in
the image of God, and sinned bringing death to all in his
fall (Gen 1:26-27, 2:7, 3:1-19, Rom 5:12, I Cor 15:21-22).
We believe in repentance from sin,
in the atonement by the substitutionary death and shed blood
of Jesus Christ for the propitiation of the sins of the world
(Mt 4:17, Lk 24:27, Rom 5:6-10, II Cor 5:15, I Pet 1:18-19,
II Cor 5:21).
We believe that salvation is by grace through personal faith
in Jesus Christ, thereby experiencing the new birth (Eph 2:8,
Jn 3:1-17, Jn 1:11-13, Pet 1:18-23).
We believe in baptism by immersion
in water (Mt 3:13-17, Jn 1:29-34, Mt 28:19, Mk 16:15-16, Acts
2:38).
We believe in sanctification and in the baptism, filling and
indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer. We believe
in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in the Church
(Jn 17:17-20, Eph 5:26, I Thes 5:23, Heb 13:12, I Pet 3:12,
I Pet 3:15, Acts 2:4, Acts 1:8, Acts 19:1-6, I Cor 12:4-14,
I Cor 12:40. |
