… the Bible to be the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God, His revelation of Himself and His will for man. It is the Christian’s guidebook to a purposeful life, a road map to heaven and the only standard by which right and wrong is to be judged.
… in unity on matters of faith, freedom in matters of opinion, but in all things love.
… We wear no name but “Christian”.
… in speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent.
… one is saved by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (John 14:6, Acts 4:12) One
obtains that relationship by earnestly seeking Him as God’s Word directs:
1. BELIEVE that He is the Son of God that was sent to save us (Acts 8:37).
2. REPENT from our sinful ways and turn to follow Christ (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30).
3. CONFESS (profess) our faith in Him to those around us (Matthew 10:32,33).
4. BE BAPTIZED (immersed) for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, 22:16; Romans 6:3-6; I Peter 3:21, Galatians 2:27).
… one retains a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by remaining faithful to God’s Word
(2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 2:10; Hebrews 3:6;14)
… it is the privilege and responsibility of all Christians to share the message of Christ with others.
… the main purpose of the believer and the church existing is to bring glory, honor and praises to
the Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in and through each endeavor
undertaken
