Doctrine of Salvation
I believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace,
a free gift of God in the Person of Jesus Christ; that salvation
is received individually by a repentance from sin and a personal
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; that through the mediatorial offices
of the Son of God, who by the appointment of the Father freely took
upon Him our nature yet without sin; He honored the divine law by
His personal obedience, and by the shedding of His blood in death
made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins. He is in every
way an all sufficient Savior.
John 1:12; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:24,25;
10:19; 12:24; 1 Peter 1:18,19; Revelation 1:5
I believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by
God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. I believe that
it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of
their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word; which, however,
clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for
the flesh.
John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1,38,39; 13:13,14; 1 Corinthians
1:4-8; Galations 5:18; Titus 2:11-15; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 5:11-13
