The first and final rule and authority of the faith and life of the believer is the Bible.
The message of the Bible is the true and infallible word of God and is to be preached to every living soul, for its message contains the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the salvation message to those who are called and elected of God.
The historical church has stated its belief and faith within statements, creeds and confessions, being led by the Holy Spirit, establishing its belief and passing it on to those who have followed.
These historical documents are subordinate to the Bible, and are the wisdom of believing men that create a summary of the teachings of the Bible and establish a commonality within the faith.
Within these statements, creeds and confessions an orthodox unity is established and wisely proclaimed by our predecessors and those that were faithful to the word of God.
The Statements, Creeds and Confessions that are found in the “Our Beliefs” section of this site, are the Standards that this ministry has chosen to represent it's beliefs, but still confesses and affirms, the Bible is the first, final and infallible authority of it's belief and faith.
As does the Bible itself teach, so we profess of the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ:
That those who are true believers are not so by accepting the statements, creeds, and confessions of the church, or by any other personal righteousness,
But are so based upon a true and credible profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
According to the scriptures that contains the covenant, commands and word of God,
Which the believers promise and have the true desire to live accordingly,
As those that appropriately and suitably demonstrate as the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ their faith,
And show forth the fruit of a life that is born of the Holy Spirit of God,
Being Baptized into the church,
And demonstrate a love of their fellow faithful believers,
Which is the church of God, purchased by the shed blood and death of the Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory,
To whom every knee will bow before and every tongue will confess as the one true Lord.
