2015 - 2016

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of GOD: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2015 - 2016

17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18. And all things are of GOD, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19. To wit, that GOD was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though GOD did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to GOD.
21. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of GOD in Him.

2015 - 2016

Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

2015 - 2016

16. All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction ,
for instruction in righteousness:
17. That the man of GOD may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Article 13

We believe the Scriptures teach that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers,
associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel;
observing the ordinances of Christ;
governed by his laws;
and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word;
that its only scriptural officers are Bishops or Pastors, and Deacons
whose qualifications, claims and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus.

Article 14

We believe the Scriptures teach that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer,
into the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost;
to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem,
our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, with its effect, in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life;
that it is prerequisite to the privileges of a church relation;
and to the Lord's Supper,
in which the members of the church,
by the sacred use of bread and wine,
are to commemorate together the dying love of Christ;
preceded always by solemn self-examination.

Article 16

We believe the Scriptures teach that civil government is of divine appointment,
for the interest and good order of human society;
and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored and obeyed;
except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the Prince of the Kings of the earth.

2015 - 2016

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Article 09

We believe the Scriptures teach that election is the eternal purpose of God,
according to which he graciously regenerates, sanctifies and saves sinners;
that being perfectly consistent with the free agency of man,
it comprehends all the means in connection with the end;
that it is a most glorious display of God's sovereign goodness,
being infinitely free, wise, holy and unchangeable;
that it utterly excludes boasting and promotes humility, love, prayer, praise, trust in God, and active imitation of his free mercy;
that it encourages the use of means in the highest degree;
that it may be ascertained by its effects in all who truly believe the Gospel;
that it is the foundation of Christian assurance;
and that to ascertain it with regard to ourselves demands and deserves the utmost diligence.

2015 - 2016

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2015 - 2016

But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he that comes to GOD must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of them that deligently seek Him.

2015 - 2016

For the word of GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

2015 - 2016

11. For I know the thoughts I think towards you,said The Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12. Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto Me, and I will harken unto you.
13. And you shall seek ME, and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart

2015 - 2016

And I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

2015 - 2016

But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His name:

2015 - 2016

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD.
2. The same was in the beginning with GOD.
3. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.

2015 - 2016

Jesus saith unto him, I AM the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

2015 - 2016

For GOD so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

2015 - 2016

GOD is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

2015 - 2016

It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Article 05

We believe the Scriptures teach that the great Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in him is justification;
that justification includes the pardon of sin,
and the promise of eternal life on principles of righteousness;
that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done,
but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood;
by virtue of which faith his perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God;
that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God,
and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity.

2015 - 2016

For I AM the Lord your GOD:
ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy;
for I AM Holy:
neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Article 11

We believe the Scriptures teach that such only are real believers as endure to the end;
that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial professors;
that a special Providence watches over their welfare;
and they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.

2015 - 2016

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Article 07

We believe that the Scriptures teach that in order to be saved, sinners must be regenerated, or born again;
that regeneration consists in giving a holy disposition to the mind
that it is effected in a manner above our comprehension by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth,
so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the Gospel;
and that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith, and newness of life.

Article 08

We believe the Scriptures teach that repentance and faith are sacred duties, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the regenerating Spirit of God; whereby being deeply convinced of our guilt, danger and helplessness and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy; at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our prophet, priest and king, and relying on him alone as the only and all-sufficient Savior.

Article 17

We believe the Scriptures teach that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked;
that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are truly righteous in his esteem;
while all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in his sight wicked, and under the curse;
and this distinction holds among men both in and after death.

2015 - 2016

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD.

2015 - 2016

9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

2015 - 2016

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of GOD unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

2015 - 2016

1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service.
2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of GOD.
3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as GOD hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

2015 - 2016

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;

2015 - 2016

For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Article 10

We believe the Scriptures teach that Sanctification is the process by which,
according to the will of God,
we are made partakers of his holiness;
that it is a progressive work;
that it is begun in regeneration;
and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Sealer and Comforter,
in the continual use of the appointed means
especially the word of God, self-examination, self-denial, watchfulness, and prayer.

Article 15

We believe the Scriptures teach that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath,
and is to be kept sacred to religious purposes,
by abstaining from all secular labor and sinful recreations,
by the devout observance of all the means of grace, both private and public,
and by preparation for that rest that remaineth for the people of God.

Article 03

We believe the Scriptures teach that Man was created in holiness,
under the law of his Maker;
but by voluntary transgressions fell from that holy and happy state;
in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, not by constraint but choice;
being by nature utterly void of that holiness required by the law of God,
positively inclined to evil;
and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin, without defense or excuse.

Article 06

We believe that the Scriptures teach that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by cordial, penitent and obedient faith; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, but his own determined depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation.

Article 12

We believe the Scriptures teach that the Law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government;
that it is holy, just and good;
and that the inability which the Scriptures ascribe to fallen men to fulfill its precepts,
arise entirely from their love of sin;
to deliver them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator
to unfeigned obedience to the holy Law
is one great end of the Gospel, and of the Means of Grace connected with the establishment of the visible church.

Article 1

We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired,
and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction;
that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error for its matter;
that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us,
and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world,
the true center of Christian union,
and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be tried

Article 02

We believe the Scriptures teach that there is one, and only one, living and true God,
an infinite, intelligent Spirit,
whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth;
inexpressibly glorious in holiness,
and worthy of all possible honor confidence and love;
that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost;
equal in every divine perfection,
and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

Article 04

We believe that the Scriptures teach that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace;
through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God;
who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon him our nature, yet without sin;
honored the divine law by his personal obedience,
and by his death made a full atonement for our sins;
that having risen from the dead, he is now enthroned in heaven;
and uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections,
he is in every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Savior.

Article 18

We believe the Scriptures teach that the end of the world is approaching;
that at the last day, Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave for final retribution;
that a solemn separation will then take place;
that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and the righteous to endless joy;
and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness.
