We believe that when the Bible speaks God speaks. The biblical concept of ex nihilo means that God created from nothing all that is, through Jesus, the Christ. Psalm 19 teaches that his handiwork bears His mark in nature. Romans 1 teaches that all people are without excuse, having a sure way to know directly from nature that God exists. Romans 14:11 teaches that all will bow the knee to Jesus when He comes again. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is triune, with the three persons sharing the same essence: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Jesus was fully God (John 8:58, 10:30) and fully human (John 1:14), made of flesh and blood, was crucified for our sins, resurrected by the Father, ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father in Glory.
How We Hope Our Beliefs Manifest themselves in Our Teaching of go:
Therefore, if there is to be any comfort in Christ, if there is to be any consolation of love, if there is to be any fellowship of spirit, if there are to be any affections or compassions, fulfill my joy! That you might think the same thing, having the same love, co-spirited, thinking the one thing, doing nothing according to selfish ambition nor according to vainglory, but in humility of mind, regard one another to be better than one's self, not having everyone looking out for their own things, but also having everyone doing so for the things of others. (Philippians 2:1-4, translation by Christopher S. M. Long)
If you ever see us acting out of this character, please let us know.
Other Biblical Concepts we Espouse:
God adopts into sonship those who put their faith in His son. Everyone suffers from sin. No one can save himself. Only Jesus, who did not sin, can save us from our sin. Justification comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Heaven & hell are real places projecting into eternity. Once saved, we then relate to the Holy Spirit for our sanctification, walking with Jesus.
