WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE is the Word of God. We believe that the King James Version of the Bible is God’s Holy Word. We believe it is the infallible inspired Word of God. We accept the Textus Receptus manuscript as the foundational material from which we derive the King James 1611. The Old and New Testament Scriptures were written by human authors divinely inspired and edited by the Holy Spirit, preserved, unbroken and passed down to us today. (I Timothy 3:16; John 10:35; I Peter 1:19; II Peter 1:20, 21; Psalm 119:89) We take instruction from the Bible literally; we believe that it is actually saying, not that it is an allegory or a fable. We take instruction from the Bible in the areas of life and faith, and go to it for the answers to life. In a day when opinion polls and media agendas steer our social conscience, we believe that we should first seek God's opinion on any subject before forming our own.
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as payment for our sins, and rose from the dead on the third day. We believe that the only way a person may go to Heaven when he dies is to first place his faith in the payment that Jesus Christ provided with His shed blood on the cross. Once a person is saved by putting his faith in Jesus, we are commanded to be baptized by immersion to show to others what took place when we trusted Christ; we do this in obedience not to save us but to show that we have been saved. We believe in participating in the Lord's Supper to remember the payment Jesus made for us and express our love to Him for that payment. The Lord's Supper is not kept to take us to Heaven, but to thank Jesus for His sacrifice.
