I Believe ... the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, as the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God.  I believe that God has preserved His Word for us in the King James Bible. I Believe ... in the Genesis account of creation, and that it should be accepted literally. I Believe ... believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I Believe ... God the Father is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power; that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. I Believe ... that Jesus Christ was born of Mary, a virgin; that He is the Son of God, and God the Son. I Believe ... in the Holy Spirit who came forth to convict the world of sin, to teach the world of righteousness and of judgment to come, and to regenerate, sanctify and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ. I Believe ... that Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. I Believe ... that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the grave the third day, according to the Scriptures. I Believe ... that only Jesus Christ is the High Priest, and we need not the intercession of any man, but that Christ ever liveth to make intercession for us. I Believe ... that Jesus Christ will come again in person, bodily, visibly, to establish His Kingdon on the earth. I Believe ... that in order to be saved, the soul must be born-again.  This is done by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. I Believe ... that every born-again Christian is secure in his/her personal salvation, as Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith, being the One who saves us by His grace, and keeps us by His grace, demonstrating that man does not save himself, and man does not keep himself. I Believe ... that every born-again believer should declare his faith by the act of baptism (immersion in water) setting forth the Lord's death, burial and ressurection.  It is the outward sign of an inward belief. I Believe ... the ordinance of baptism and the Lord's Supper are given to the church and must be carried out by the local church and under it's authority. I Believe ... that the church is a body of baptized believers, whose only mission is not to "reform the world" but to preach the Gospel of Salvation to the individual soul. I Believe ... in the bodily resurrection of the Saved unto everlasting life in Heaven, and the unsaved of all ages into everlasting punishment in a literal burning Hell.     Are you sure of YOUR Salvation?  If not, please read What if YOU died tonight?
