What We Believe
-
The
Bible is God's verbally inspired Word and is the only sure guide to
heaven.
-
The
God of the Bible, the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is the
only true God.
-
Jesus
Christ, born at Bethlehem and crucified on Calvary, is the son of God
and therefore true God Himself.
-
We
are sinful, and deserve eternal damnation. Left to ourselves, we
can do nothing to save ourselves.
-
Jesus
Christ by His life and death has procured for us forgiveness of sin
and has purchased for us eternal life. Through the Gospel
eternal life is now offered to everyone as a free gift of God.
-
Infants
as well as adults should be baptized and that through Baptism the
pardon procured by Christ is extended to the person who is baptized.
-
According
to His wisdom and love God answers every prayer addressed to Him in
faith and the name of Jesus.
-
The
hereafter consists of heaven for the true believers and hell for
unbelievers, that both are without end. Faith in Christ at the
end of life will lead to heaven, while unbelief at the end of life
will lead to hell.
-
In
Holy Communion the true body and blood of Christ are received with the
bread and wine. Those who partake of it in true repentance and
faith receive the forgiveness procured for all by Christ.
