My Beliefs

I am a Christian.  I believe in the following statements.

Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy catholic Church, the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen.

I believe…

I believe the Holy Bible is the word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths.
II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26

I believe that in the one true God there are three distinct persons. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are all of the same substance and are co-equal and co-eternal.
Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19; Matthew 3:16-17; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11

I believe that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and physical resurrection.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10

I believe that the Blood of Jesus Christ shed on Calvary was and is sufficient to forgive man of all His sins.
I John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, Colossians 1:20; Revelation 5:9

I believe in the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus after His ascension to empower the Church to preach the Gospel through the whole earth.
Acts 2:17,38,39; Mark 16:17; Acts 10:38, 44-47

I believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
