Articles of Faith
1.
We believe there is one true and living
God,
and that the Godhead consists of three Divine Persons, The Father, and
The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
2.
We believe Jesus Christ to be The Son of
God.
3.
We believe that all
scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and that
the ministers of Christ should teach all the scripture recorded in the
1611 King James Version. However, we believe that the New
Testament contains the perfect rule of order, discipline and practice
for the Church of Christ.
4.
We believe that by one man - Adam - sin
entered into the world, and by
that sin death passed upon all men, and that "by nature"
the human race is alienated from God, and are without strength, desire
or will to come to Christ for life.
5.
We believe that by the decree of God,
and for the
manifestation of His glorious grace, He chose an innumerable host of
mankind, and predestinated them to be conformed to the image of His Son
Jesus Christ. Those He chose are particular and unchangeably
designed, so that they cannot either increase or diminish.
6.
We believe that those of mankind thus
chosen and
fore-ordained unto eternal life, were redeemed by Christ Jesus, and are
effectually called by the direct work of the Holy Spirit, and that by
irresistible grace. We, thus reject the doctrines of water
baptism regeneration and gospel regeneration by the preached word.
7.
We believe in the preservation of the
saints; that
they are "preserved" in Jesus Christ, and can never finally fall away
from the love of God and the redemption that is by Jesus Christ.
8.
We believe that baptism and the Lord's
Supper are
Ordinances of Christ, and baptism by immersion in water is the only
scriptural mode, and that unleavened bread and wine are the only proper
emblems for the Lord's Supper, and that the authority to administer
these ordinances is invested in God's ministers who have come under the
imposition of hands by a presbytery.
9.
We believe that Jesus Christ taught one
of the
greatest examples of humility when He laid aside His garments, and
washed the apostles feet. We believe
that the Church
of Christ
should practice this example in all
ages.
10.
We
believe that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the
just and unjust, and that the bodies of the elect shall inherit the
Kingdom prepared for them "from the foundation of the world", and that
the bodies of the wicked "shall go away into everlasting punishment."
11.
We
deny that God decreed sin, and that He is not in any sense the author
thereof. We believe the scriptures teach a parental law, and that
the saints of God that obey the scriptures enjoy blessings in this life
which cannot be enjoyed otherwise.
12.
We
believe that the Churches of Christ should withdraw from every member
that walks disorderly; that walks in any sin named in Gal.5:19-21 or
Eph. 5:5.
13.
We
believe in the separation of Church and State, and that each local
church is an organic member of the visible Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and
that such a church is an independent body, having Christ as her only
Head and Lawgiver.
