Justification is instantaneous and final, and based on the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, so that the believer’s standing and righteousness is alien to him and based on Christ’s righteousness alone. We believe in justification by grace alone through faith alone. We believe that salvation is by the grace of God, which is neither merited nor secured, in part or in whole, by any virtue or work of man.

( John 8:44 Genesis 1:26 2:7 3:1-6 Romans 5:12-14 Ephesians 2:1-3 Romans 3:9-23) We believe that man’s depravity extends to his will: that while man is a free agent choosing as he pleases, his will is in bondage to his sinful nature therefore, he always chooses darkness, being unable and unwilling to choose Christ. Sin and depravity has been transmitted to the entire human race so that man is a sinner by nature, choice, and practice and guilty before God, a just object of God’s wrath. Adam, by personal disobedience to the will of God, became a sinner depraved in nature and subject to Satan’s power. We believe that Adam was created in the image and likeness of God immediately and apart from any process of evolution.
( Luke 24:47, 48 I Timothy 4:10 II Peter 2:1 John 10:15 Ephesians 5:25-27 Revelation 5:9) We also believe that Christ’s death demonstrated love for all men, is to be offered to all and is able to save all. (Philippines 2:5-11 Matthew 1:21 Luke 1:35 II Corinthians 5:21 Hebrews 7:25, 26 Matthew 20:45 I Peter 2:24 Romans 8:34) We believe that His death was substitutionary and efficacious for the elect alone. He was buried, arose bodily and ascended into heaven, and is presently fulfilling His intercessory and mediatory ministry. While on earth He lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary and propitiatory death for sinners bearing the penalty of God’s wrath that they deserved. In the incarnation, He became a man through the miracle of His divine conception and virgin birth without change in His deity. We believe that the second person of the Triune God is the Son whose name is the Lord Jesus Christ. ( Genesis1:1 Exodus 3:14 John 4:24 Hebrews 1:8-10 James 1:16 John 1:1 John 10:30 Matthew 28:18 Matthew 14:6-9 Ephesians 2:4 I John 4:8) Jesus Christ and the Atonement And each has a distinct function in the execution of the everlasting purpose of the Godhead. Each of these divine members is equally worthy of worship, trust and obedience. The Godhead is the absolute and sole creator of the universe and their creation was by divine decree, not through evolutionary process. These three are one as to their nature, essence and attributes. That God existed eternally as three distinct, yet inseparable persons known as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that God is infinite, self-existent Spirit: unchangeable in His nature, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, righteous, good, love and truth. Therefore, no current prophetic word is necessary for Christ to communicate His present voice and will to His people. We also believe that the Scripture is the fresh and present voice of Christ by which He communicates through the Holy Spirit to His people.
We also believe that the Scriptures are sufficient, entirely adequate, in conjunction with the Holy Spirit and the body of Christ for every emotional or spiritual problem and in no need of any supplement from secular psychology. Consequently the whole of Scripture is authoritative for the faith of every believer. Thus, every word of the original autographs was God-breathed and without error. Men, chosen by God, wrote the Bible under the superintendence and enabling of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the revelation of God and thus constitute the Word of God.
