What We Believe

We rejoice in the fact that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16; Acts 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Peter 3:18).
 
We believe this salvation is a gift of God’s grace, appropriated through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ.  This faith is a gift of divine grace, and is not simply knowledge of Jesus Christ, but is an act of personal trust accompanied by the miracles of regeneration and justification, leading to sanctification and glorification.

This doctrine is sometimes called the doctrine of eternal security, and the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. In essence the doctrine teaches that if you have saving faith you will never lose it, and if you lose it, you never had it.

John wrote, "They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us" (1 John 2:19).

We know that it is possible for people to be attracted to Christianity without ever embracing Christ Himself. In this day when it is hard to tell the difference between the church and the world, deception is a great tool for Satan. And many people are lured into his web.

Jesus tells a story about a sower who went forth to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rocks; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on "good" ground, sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.

Some hold to the position that the parable refers to those who lose their salvation. I think that good Bible theology maintains that, these people never had true saving faith in the first place. Only the seed that falls on the "good" ground yields the fruit of true saving faith.

​The security of our salvation does not depend upon our maintaining what God begun. However, it does depend upon God's promises. We have security because salvation is of the Lord and we are His workmanship.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.                                                                                                          John 10:7-11
