Many people ask me which translation of God's Word I
prefer. My answer is simple, I prefer the one that will
be read. I grew up with the King James and I still like
to read it, but I also use the New King James, the New
American Standard, The Amplified and even The
Message. If there is a translation that is easy for you to
read and understand, then by all means, read it. The
Word of God does not return void, so I will trust the
Holy Spirit to minister to you through God's Word,
whichever translation you use.
I BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for
mankind.
I BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit
(commonly known as the Trinity).
I BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human
and divine.
I BELIEVE...that man was created in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in
character. I believe that man sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but
also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature.
I BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation'
(accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin).
I BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after
repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion
(the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our
salvation.
I BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation
that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New
Testament times.
I BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a
believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as
believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
I BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We
believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout
time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination)
through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
I BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is still available today and is provided for in
Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).
I BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return
to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died
will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive
will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.
I BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His
second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. At that time
many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah, the Savior
who died for them and all mankind.
I BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They
will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of
fire.
I BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is
preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with
Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be
with the Lord!'
