We believe in the Verbal Inspiration of the entire Bible, that not only the ideas of the Bible are Inspired, but the very words are God-breathed, Acts 1:16; 1I Peter 1:20, 21; Acts 28:25-27; Rev. 1:1,2; II Timothy 3:16,17.

We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, that He had an earthly mother but that God was His Father. We believe that He was both God and man - the God-Man, Isa. 9:6; Matt. 1:21-23; Luke 1:27-35; John 3:14-17; Luke 19:10; Isa. 7:14.

We believe in the Genesis account of Creation ­that man was created by a special act of God, and do not believe in the modern theory of evolution with respect to creation, Gen. 1:27, 28; 2:7; 10:32; Acts 17:26; Col. 3:10.

We believe that Jesus Christ Instituted His Church while He was in the world in person - during His personal ministry, Matt. 4:12-22; 10:5-8; 16:18; Mark 3:13-19; Luke 6:12-19; Matt. 28:19,20; John 3:29.

We believe the Ordinances of the church were given to the church by Jesus Himself during His personal ministry, Matt. 28:19,20; Luke 22:29,30; Jolm 4:1,2. The ordinances are two, Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

We believe the Commission to evangelize the world was given by Jesus Christ in person to His church and was not given to preachers, boards, synods, sessions, presbyters, popes and potentates, but to the church and the church alone as an institution, Matt. 28:19, 20; 16:18;Mark 16:15,16.

We believe that the maintenance of the church as an institution is one of the fundamentals, Matt. 16:18; 28:19,20; Eph. 3:21.

We do firmly believe that only baptisms administered by the authority of a Baptist church are Scriptural baptisms, Mark 1:5-9; Acts 1:22; 19:1-4

We firmly believe that repentance and faith are prerequisites to baptism and essential to the salvation of the soul, Matt. 3:1-12; Mark 1:3-5; Acts 2:41, 42; 3:19; 8:35-39; 10:44-48.

We believe that repentance is more than a mere moral reformation - that it changes the very nature of man, and that after he has genuinely repented he is a new creature in Jesus Christ, 1I Cor. 5:17; John 3:3-5; Acts 3:19

We believe that baptism is a complete immersion in water, Matt. 3:13-17; Mark 1:5-11; John 3:23; Acts 8:36-39; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12

We believe that salvation is wholly of grace without any mixture of works whatsoever, Eph. 2:8-10; Titus 3:5; Rom. 4:1-6, 16.

We believe in the personal second coming of Christ to this earth and that in connection with His coming, the dead saints will be raised from the dead, the living righteous will be changed (translated) and all caught up together to meet the Lord, I Thess. 4:14-17; I Cor. 15:51-54; Luke 17:34-36.

We believe in the eternal punishment of the wicked forever in hell, Mark 9:43-48; Matt. 18:8; Jude 7; Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10; 14:11; Matt. 25:46; Dan. 12:2.

We believe there will be two resurrections - one for the righteous and one for the wicked, Dan. 12:1, 2; John 5:28, 29; Rev. 20:5, 6; Luke 14:13, 14; I Cor. 15:23.

We believe there will be a Millennium of 1000 years in which Jesus Christ with His people will reign over the earth in peace and prosperity, Psalm 10; Zech. 14:9; Rev. 11:15; 5:10; 20:2-7; Matt. 25:31; Jer. 23:5, 6; Luke 1:32, 33; 1sa. 9:6,7.

We repudiate the practice of pulpit affiliation which is practiced by many, II John 10,11; Amos 3:3; Gal. 1:6-10.

We believe the Bible thoroughly furnishes us unto all good works, hence we do not believe that any means, except Scriptural means, should be employed in missionary work. We believe that every dollar contributed for missions or any other purpose should be used for the purpose for which it is contributed.

We believe in every phase of the missionary work as taught in the Bible, but we do not believe in turning our mission work over into the hands of boards arid conventions and high-salaried secretaries to lord it over God's heritage, Matt. 20:25-28; I Peter 5:1-3. The churches of Jesus Christ are the executives in the kingdom. The commission was give to the church, as such, Matt. 28:19,20.
