No Creed But Christ.
No Book But the Bible.

The Bible is not a human book with divine suggestions scattered through it. It is the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God — breathed out by the Holy Spirit through human authors so that every word carries the full authority of God Himself.

Because Scripture is God-breathed, it is the sole and sufficient authority in all matters of faith and practice. No council, creed, tradition, or personal experience stands above it. We receive it not as the word of men but as it truly is — the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

Jesus Christ is not merely a great teacher, moral example, or prophet. He is the eternal Son of God — fully divine and fully human — who existed before all creation, through whom all things were made, and in whom "all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily" (Colossians 2:9).

He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world, rose bodily from the dead on the third day, ascended to the Father's right hand, and now reigns as Lord over all creation. No name under heaven is given among men by which we must be saved but His (Acts 4:12).

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead — fully God, coequal with the Father and the Son. He is not a force or an influence; He is a person who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and who indwells every obedient child of God as a seal and guarantee of their inheritance.

The gift of the Holy Spirit is promised to those who repent and are baptized (Acts 2:38). He guides believers into all truth through the completed Word of God (John 16:13), produces the fruit of the Spirit in their lives (Galatians 5:22–23), and intercedes for them before the Father (Romans 8:26–27).

Baptism is immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of sins. It is not a symbol performed after salvation — the consistent witness of the New Testament is that baptism is the moment God's forgiveness is applied, the old man is buried, and the new creation is raised to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3–4).

It is the new birth of water and Spirit Jesus spoke of in John 3:5. It is where the believer "puts on Christ" (Galatians 3:27), receives the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38), has sins washed away (Acts 22:16), and enters into Christ's death to share in His resurrection. This is not human merit — it is obedient faith meeting sovereign grace.

Christ built one church — not a denomination, not an institution of human origin, but His body and bride, purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28). It was established on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) and is entered through obedience to the gospel — not through human membership rolls or traditions.

The church of the New Testament worships on the first day of the week, partakes of the Lord's Supper every Sunday, sings without mechanical instruments, gives as each has purposed in his heart, prays together, and is taught from the Word. We seek to be simply Christians — following the New Testament pattern, adding nothing, taking nothing away.

The Lord's Supper is observed every first day of the week (Acts 20:7) in remembrance of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. It consists of unleavened bread representing His body and the fruit of the vine representing His blood — the two elements instituted by Christ on the night He was betrayed (Matthew 26:26–28).

It is not a sacrament that imparts grace mechanically, nor is it merely a casual memorial. It is a solemn, joyful proclamation of the Lord's death until He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26) — a weekly anchor reminding the church of the price of their salvation and the certainty of His return. We partake with self-examination and gratitude.

Every person who has ever lived will stand before God in judgment. This is not a popular doctrine, but it is an unavoidable one. The Judge of all the earth will do right (Genesis 18:25) — and He will judge each person according to their works, by the standard of the gospel of Christ (Romans 2:16).

The righteous — those who have obeyed the gospel and lived faithfully — will inherit eternal life in the presence of God. The disobedient — those who have rejected the gospel or lived in rebellion — will face eternal separation from God. Both outcomes are real, both are eternal, and both are the reason this ministry exists. The urgency of the gospel is inseparable from the reality of judgment.

Jesus Christ will return to this earth — visibly, bodily, and gloriously — to raise the dead, judge the living and the dead, and consummate the kingdom of God. His return is not symbolic or spiritual only; it will be as literal and visible as His ascension.

No person knows the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36). The certainty of His return is therefore a call to constant readiness, faithful living, and urgent evangelism — not to date-setting or speculation. We live looking for "the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13), conducting ourselves as servants whose master may return at any moment.

Salvation is not a one-time transaction — it is a covenant relationship that must be maintained through faithful living. Christ does not merely save us from our past; He calls us into a new way of life, a new identity, and a new direction that persists until we draw our final breath.

This is not sinless perfection — when Christians sin, they have an advocate in Christ (1 John 2:1), and God is faithful to forgive the repentant (1 John 1:9). But it is genuine, persistent faithfulness — continuing in Christ's doctrine, assembling with His body, growing in grace, and never deliberately abandoning the faith. "He who endures to the end shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13)
