The Scriptures are the timeless, inspired, and infallible Word of God. We believe in one eternal God Who, like water and light, has a tri-une nature and exists in 3 distinct persons to give us spiritual life. God the Father is the creator, sustainer, and judge of the Universe. Jesus, the Son of God, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and as “the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world,” willingly died on the cross as our substitute. Jesus paid the sin debt we are incapable of paying on our own. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and was seen by over 500 eyewitnesses at one time. He fulfilled over 300 prophecies about the coming Messiah, the Anointed One. His many miracles, healings, and resurrection from the dead proved Jesus to be the fulfillment of the scriptures as our Savior and Redeemer. Jesus is the only sufficient sacrifice of God to reconcile repentant sinners back to the Father. All self effort is insufficient and will fail. Jesus ascended into Heaven to intercede for us and judge mankind. The Holy Spirit indwells the born again believer to empower, guide, and direct us to live a holy life. Baptism by immersion is an outward expression of repentance and of being born again from above by faith in Christ alone. At a time known only to the Father, Jesus will rapture His bride, the universal church of believers, and judge the unrepentant sinners left behind. After the Great Tribulation Jesus will return in power and glory to rule the earth from Jerusalem. After the final battle, Satan is thrown into the abyss for eternal punishment. God judges all of mankind and recreates the world and universe. The redeemed (saints) will spend eternity in His presence. All previous suffering, pain, and sorrow will be replaced by unspeakable joy. Eternity never ever ends.
