What sets our church apart from others?

Our belief that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. With this in mind we endeavor to follow the Everlasting Word of God, choosing to follow what is pleasing to God rather than man. We believe that God's words never change as the Bible says (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; mark 13:31; Luke 16;17), therefore, we observe the Seventh Day Sabbath as Jesus did..

How do we view the Scriptures?

We view the scriptures as God's unchangeable words (Isaiah 40:8). We believe that they are perfect and true (Matthew 5:18). That there is nothing that any man or organization can do to change them (Mark 13:31, Luke 16:17).

We believe that there are no secret interpretations of the word of God, but rather all things should be able to be seen clearly throughout the scripture (2 Peter 1:20).

Further, we believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and that it was given to men who were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:21; 1 Cor 12:10,11)

What is our belief on the Divinity of Christ?

Looking solely at the scriptures, we see Jesus Christ as the only fulfillment of the promise of "God with us."

• Matt. 1:23 - Immanuel "God is with us."

• John 1:1 - Word was God (verse 14), Word (Jesus) made flesh.

• John 17:5, 24 - Jesus existed with the Father before the foundation of this world.

• John 8:58 - Jesus declared He was the self-existent one - the "I Am", that He existed before Abraham.

• Luke 5:20-24 - Jesus forgave sins, only God can do that.

• John 20;28 - Thomas testified the He was both Lord and God.

• Heb. 1:5-9 - The Father addresses the Son as God.

• 1 Tim. 6:15, 16 - He has immortality.

• Rev. 1:18 - He has the keys over the grave.

What is our view on the Law of God?

• We believe that the Law of God stands forever (Ps. 111:7, 8).

• That it leads us to see our guilt and drives us to Jesus (Rom 3:20).

• That it is an agent in leading us to conversion (Ps. 19:7).

• That it gives a great reward to those to keep it (Ps. 19:11).

• That we are not "under the law" as a means of salvation, but rather salvation comes totally by grace (Rom. 6:14; Eph. 2:8).

• That we don't have the liberty to break the law (Rom 6:15; Gal. 5:13).

• That sin is defined as breaking it and leads to separation from God (1 John 3:4; Isa. 59:1, 2).

• When we are saved by faith we desire to keep God's Law (Heb. 10:7; John 8:29).

• Love for God leads us to obey His Laws (John 14:15).

• That a sign of those who love God is their obedience to His law (John 14:21).

• Those who keep not His commandments are liars and the truth is not in them (1 John 2:4, 5).

• That we are to hide His Words in our hearts to prevent us from sinning (Ps. 119:11).

• The new covenant is based on the old law written in our hearts (Heb. 8:10).

• That the saints of God and His remnant keep His law (Rev. 12:17, 14:12).
