We believe that the salvation of man is and always has been wholly of grace through faith and made possible through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the only atonement for sins; that the death of the Lord Jesus Christ for man was a voluntary substitution of Himself in the sinner’s place, the just dying for the unjust, the Lord bearing man's sin in His own body on the tree that man might be pardoned and receive the gift of eternal life; and that no man is justified before God by any works of righteousness which he has done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer’s shed blood is God’s righteousness imputed to him. (Acts 15:11; Romans 3:24-25, 5:1, 9; 8:1; ICorinthians 15:3; Ephesians 2:8-9)

The Believer’s Nature

    We believe that every saved person possesses two natures with provision made by God for victory of the new nature over the old nature through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit; and that all claims of the eradication of the old nature in this life are unscriptural. (Romans 6:13, 8:12-13; Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:10; I Peter 1:14-16; I John 3:5-9)

The Believer’s Assurance and Security

    We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of salvation through the testimony of God’s Word which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh; that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by the power of God and are thus secure in Christ forever. (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39, 13:13-41; I Corinthians 1:4-8; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15; I Peter 1:5)

The Believer’s Walk

    We believe that all the saved are commanded to live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord; that they are to separate themselves from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations; that our minds, bodies, talents, time, money, and all things belong to the Lord; and that we will each be called upon to give an account of ourselves to God. (Romans 12:1-2, 14:12-13, I Corinthians 6:14, 7-11; II Timothy 3:1-5; I John 2:15-17; II John 9-11)

The Believer’s Witness

    We believe it is the obligation of the saved to witness by life and word to the truths of the holy Scriptures and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind. (Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:15-17, 10:14-17; II Corinthians 5:19-20; I Peter 3:15)
