is being developed under the sponsorship of the CBNW
(Conservative Baptist Northwest)
family of churches. You can learn more about them by

| |
| Our beliefs on the essential doctrines of the Bible are as follows:
|
| |
| THE BIBLE:
We believe that the Bible, consisting of both the Old and New Testaments,
is God's infallible, inerrant Word, written by men who were uniquely moved
by the Holy Spirit and that it is our sole authority in all matters of faith
and practice. We affirm our belief in the verbal and plenary
inspiration of the Scriptures in their original writings.
|
| |
| GOD:
We believe in one God, creator of heaven and earth, eternally existing
in three persons. God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit. |
|
| |
a. |
GOD THE FATHER is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and
measureless in power. We rejoice that he concerns Himself
mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer,
and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through
Jesus Christ.
|
|
| |
b. |
GOD THE SON, Jesus Christ, is God's only begotten Son, born
of a virgin, sinless in life, who atoned for the sins of the world
by His substitutionary death on the cross. We believe in
His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly
intercession for His people, His lordship, and His personal, visible
pre-millennial return to the world according to His promise.
|
|
| |
c. |
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT convicts the world of sin, of righteousness,
and of judgment.
|
|
| |
d. |
His works in the believer including (but not limited to):
(1) Salvation, baptizing in the body of Christ, indwelling,
sealing eternally; (2) progressive sanctification , giving,
filling teaching, enabling; and (3) glorifying.
|
| |
| MAN:
We believe that man was created in the image of God and was originally
without sin. Because of the sin of Adam and Eve, all men are
now sinners both by nature and by choice. Man is unable to
remedy his own lost condition. Every human being is capable,
under God, of deciding for himself in the matters of faith and life.
Each man is also free to worship God according to the
dictates of his conscience.
|
| |
| SALVATION:
We believe that salvation is God's gift to man in the person of
Jesus Christ. Sinful man is saved from the eternal penalty
of sin as a result of receiving Jesus Christ, by faith, as the Savior
and Lord of life. We believe that all who are born-again
through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ are eternally secure through
His grace.
|
| |
| THE CHURCH:
We believe that the church is the body of Christ which is made up
of every born-again believer since Pentecost regardless of race,
sex, or national origin and will be caught up to meet the Lord in the
air. The local church is an organized body of immersed
believers voluntarily associated together for the worship of God,
growth in godliness and sanctification, the fellowship of believers,
the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ throughout the world,
and the observance of the Biblical ordinances (believer's baptism
and the Lord's Supper). The scriptural officers of the
church are described in 1 Timothy 3. The local church is
independent and autonomous and is free from all outside ecclesiastical
or political interference.
|
| |
| SATAN:
We believe that Satan is a personal created being, a fallen angel,
and the author of sin and the cause of the fall.
He is the open and declared enemy of God and man.
He will be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.
|
| |
| ETERNITY:
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the believer and
the non-believer. The saved will enjoy the wonders of
God's presence forever, and the lost will be eternally punished
in the Lake of Fire.
