We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life.  We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, physically rose from the dead, and that He brings salvation and forgiveness to all who truly believe in Him. We believe that this salvation is a gift we receive through faith and it cannot be earned by any human effort (Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5; John 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Ephesians 2:8-9; Colossians 1:15-22).  We believe that all who, by faith, trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit; are, therefore, children of God and eternally saved; and that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer to enlighten, guide, and enable him in life, testimony, and service (John 1:12; 3:3; John 14: 16-17, 26).  We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit takes place at conversion and is a universal experience for all believers and that God gives spiritual gifts to all believers for the building up of the body of Christ (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-13, 1 Corinthians 12:27-31; 1 Corinthians 14:1-40; Ephesians 4:8-13; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6; 1 Peter 4:10-11).
