Articles-of-faith

1. We believe in only one true and living God, and that there are three
     Persons in the Godhead - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost -
     and these Three are One (1 Cor. 8:6; 1 John 5:7).
2. We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God
     and the only rule of faith and practice (2 Peter 3:2; 2 Tim. 3:16).
3. We believe in the impotency of man to recover himself from the
     fallen state which he is in, by his own ability (Heb. 11:6; 2 Thess.
     2:2; John 10:26; Acts 13:28).
4. We believe that salvation is only by grace through faith in our Lord
     Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:4-10; Rom. 11: 4-8).
5. We believe that baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances
     instituted by Jesus Christ and should be practiced by all true
     believers (Mark 1:9-11; Rom. 6:3; Luke 22:7-20; John 13: 1-17).
6. We believe that the only true mode of baptism is by immersion and
     that true believers are the only subjects (Matt. 3:6; Mark 1:9-11;
     Rom. 6:3; Acts 2:41, 8:36-39).
7. We believe in the preservation of the saints; that they are
     preserved in Christ Jesus, and can never finally fall away from the
     love of God and the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. (John
     10:27-29; Col. 3:1-4; Jude v.1, Romans 8:35-39).
8. We believe in the resurrection of the dead and a general judgment
     of both the just and the unjust (Matt. 16:21; John 5:28-29;
     Matt.25:31-32; Rev. 20:12-15).
9. We believe that the happiness of the righteous and the punishment
     of the wicked will both be eternal (Matt. 25:46; 2 Thess. 1:9).
