We
believe in Yahweh, the One True God. He is the Almighty,
the Uncreated One, the Eternal, Immortal, Invisible One.
He is the creator of heaven
and earth, of all that is seen and is unseen. From one man
He created
every nation of men and determined the set times and
places where they
should live. From Him and through Him and unto Him are all
things.
To Him be all glory and honor and praise for ever and
ever. Amen!
We believe in the Lord, Jesus of Nazareth. He is the only
true Son of God. He was eternally begotten of the Father:
God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God,
Begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through
Jesus all things were made and in Him all things are held
together. By God’s will and for our salvation, Jesus came
down from heaven. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and
born of a virgin named Mary of Nazareth. In Jesus all the
fullness of deity lives in bodily form. Although a man He
was without sin. For our sake He was falsely accused,
tried, and was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered
death and was buried. On the third day, He was resurrected
from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at
the right hand of God the Father. He will come again in
glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom
will have no end. Amen!
We believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father
and the Son.
He speaks and acts on behalf on the Father and the Son.
The Bible is not
a product of human origin; it is the living and eternally
enduring Word of God conveyed and sustained by the Holy
Spirit. The Body of Jesus Christ (the church) consists of
people who abide in the Holy Spirit, being inspired by a
living hope and governed by His Word. Through the power of
the resurrected Christ and the seal of the Holy Spirit we
celebrate and proclaim the Gospel: The grace of God,
baptism for the forgiveness of sins, the Lord’s Supper,
the fellowship of the saints, our resurrection from the
dead and the glory
of life everlasting. Amen! |
