We hold to the God of
Israel as the One true God; a Triune God in three persons of the Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. He alone is to be worshipped, as prescribed in
Scripture.
We believe in the
doctrinal infallibility of the original manuscripts of the Old and New
Testaments in the original languages, and in the historicity of these
Scriptures.
The complete Bible
constituting the supreme authority for our faith and ministry. We accept
the Bible as the only basis of true doctrine.
We believe in
salvation through the New Birth experience by repentance and faith in
Jesus alone, as the only provision for man's sin. We hold that Jesus took
our sin and gave us His righteousness and we must personally accept Him
and remain faithful to Him on the basis of scripture. Those rejecting
Jesus will face eternal perdition.
We believe that
man is fallen and so is creation. It is impossible for man to justify
himself before a perfect God.
We hold to a
pre-millennium return of Christ at which time He will establish his
millennium Kingdom on earth.
We accept that
Gentiles who truly accept Jesus replace Jews who reject Him; however,
these are incorporated into Israel in a spiritual sense (on the basis of
Romans 11), rather than the church replacing Israel - a teaching which we
hold to be error.
God's prophetic
plan for the salvation of the world is bound up with His prophetic plan
for the regathering and salvation of Israel.
We believe the
gifts of the Spirit, including charismatic gifts, continue to operate in
the church. However, we reject any form of charismatic or Pentecostal
extremism, and reject totally any form of tradition-based or experiential
theology.
We hold to believer's
baptism.
We yearn for the
unity of the Spirit, such unity seen as with other Bible-based evangelical
Christians, churches, and ministries - even where we may not share all the
same nonessential doctrines.
However, we reject
- as a false unity - ecumenism or unity with any form with non-evangelical
versions of Christianity, having a different doctrine of salvation and a
basis of doctrinal authority other than the Bible
