The Gospel

God, who is perfectly good and limitless in power, created the universe.  God sustains His creation expressing His kindness to all men.  All men are to live in worship and obedience to God.   All are accountable to Him.

In Adam and Eve mankind rebelled against God.  All are born into the world in sin and under condemnation.  Sin separates from God.  The consequence of sin is physical and spiritual death.  An eternal hell awaits those who remain in a state of sin and rebellion.

 Answers To Three Questions

by Haddon A. Haynes

I. Sinful Man is the Enemy of God

We live in a world that does not believe the concept of man’s sinful antagonism against God. This is not a new problem. Here is what A. W. Tozer had to say: “Until we believe that we are as bad as God says we are, we can never believe that He will do for us what He says He will do. Right here is where popular religion breaks down.” (A. W. Tozer - Quoted in The Berean Call, September 1993, New Man, July/August 1994, p. 10.)

"Sola Scriptura"

(Scripture Alone)

We reaffirm the inerrant Scripture to be the sole source of written divine revelation, which alone can bind the conscience. The Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured.

We deny that any creed, council or individual may bind a Christian's conscience, that the Holy Spirit speaks independently of or contrary to what is set forth in the Bible, or that personal spiritual experience can ever be a vehicle of revelation.
