I believe in the verbal, plenary, inspiration of the Bible. It is the inerrant, infallible
Word of God, and the final authority for all matter of faith and practice. - KJV

I believe in the Biblical and historic Christian doctrine of the Trinity.

I believe in a literal 6 day creation and reject all other interpretation of creation.

I am a historic fundamentalist believing in the Deity of Jesus Christ and the
Sufficiency of His Sacrifice.

I believe salvation comes by grace, through faith, and not of any work;
“repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ”. Salvation is found
in Jesus Christ Alone.

I believe that all of mankind, because of their exceeding sinfulness, stand in
need of salvation. They need to be “born again”.

I believe those who experience the “new birth” are eternally secure in Christ.

I believe the truly saved hunger and thirst after righteousness, exhibit fruit of the
Spirit, and seek to save the lost.

I believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, baptizes the believer into the body of
Christ, seals the believer unto the day of redemption, indwells every true
believer, leads, guides, directs, comforts, and is our divine teacher. Without the
power of the Holy Spirit in our Christian life, we will be fruitless. Without the
Holy Spirit it is impossible for natural man to understand the things of God.

I believe that believers are to separate themselves unto the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and away from sin and apostasy.

I believe for a believer to call himself a Christian, he must live in a manner that
is Christ like.

I believe that Baptism is NON saving, but commanded that every believer be
baptized as an outward testimony of what Christ has done within.

I believe that the Lord’s Table is a memorial of what Christ did for us at Calvary.

I believe that Baptism and the Lord’s Table are the only ordinances of the NT
church.

I believe that all believers are commissioned to bring the Gospel to this lost and
dying world.

I believe in a pre-wrath rapture and a pre-millennial & physical return of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe in the autonomy of the local church. They are self governing and not
under the rule of a hierarchy. A local church is responsible to be exactly how
the Holy Spirit has lead it to be, not how men desire it to be, and not as man’s
religion dictates.

I maintain an unaffiliated position in relation to "camps", "colleges",
"denominational hierarchies", etc. I stand with the Lord Jesus Christ and others
of like mind and faith.

Very Simply: I am a Bible believing, NON charismatic Christian.

I hold a 3 year Diploma of Biblical Studies, Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor in
Pastoral Counseling,
and Diploma in Evangelism. I have been married ONCE and never divorced.
