The Holy Bible
The entire Bible is inspired by God. It is the highest authority of truth. It is without error and is eternal.
2nd Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12
2nd Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12
Jesus Christ
Jesus is the only son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. That he lived a sinless life and was crucified, buried, and resurrected from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is humanities intercessor for sins.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to make us more effective in witnessing (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4). The nine fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) are the by-product of a spirit filled life and evidence of spiritual maturity. The nine gifts of the spirit are different manifestations to build up the body (1st Cor. 12:1-11). We are instructed to diligently seek the gifts (1st Cor. 12:31, 14:1) but must be exercised in a orderly way (1st Cor. 14:26-33).
