We believe that the baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, to show forth in a beautiful emblem of our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savoir. Baptism symbolizes our death to sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ. I Pet 3:21; Matt 28: 19, 20.
We believe that the Lord’s Supper is the commemoration of His death until He comes.
I Cor 11:23 – 32 We believe that only the ordinances mentioned above are to be practiced in this present church age until His coming for the Church.

.

We believe the dispensational view of Bible interpretation is the natural, literal understanding of God’s dealing with man. We believe that dispensations are stewardships or “rules of life” in which God deals with mankind in successive periods of time. We believe that dispensations are not different ways of salvation, but different responsibilities God gives to man according to His purpose. We believe that God’s promises to Israel will be literally fulfilled before Israel, not spiritually fulfilled in the Church (Rom 11:11,25). We believe that the dispensations of Law, the Church, and the Millennial Kingdom are distinct in Scripture. Eph 1:10, 3:2 – 10; John 1:17; I Cor 9: 17;
II Cor 3: 9 – 18; Gal 3: 13 – 25; Col 1: 24 -25; Heb 7:19; Rev 20: 2 – 6.

.

We believe in that “Blessed Hope”, the personal, imminent, pre - tribulational and pre - millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones; and in His subsequent to earth, with His Saints, to establish His Millennial Kingdom. I Thes 4:13 – 18; Zec 14:4 – 11; Rev 19:11 – 16; 20: 1 – 6; I Thes 1:10; 5:9; Rev 3:10.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men: the saved to eternal life and joy in the presence of our Lord, and the unsaved to judgement and everlasting punishment. Matt 25:46; John 5:28,29; 11:25,26; Rev 20:5,6,12,13.

We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord; There after being translated to the New Heaven and The New Earth. Luke 23:43; Rev 20: 4 – 6; II Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; 3:21;I Thes 4:16,17; Rev 21:1; II Pet 3:10 - 13.

We believe that the souls of the unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious misery until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgement, and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting conscious punishment. Luke 16: 19 – 26;
Matt 25: 41 – 46; II Thes 1: 7 – 9; Mark 9: 42 -48; Rev 20:11 – 15.

We believe that civil government is of divine appointment for the interest and good order of human society; that our government are to pray for, conscientiously honoured and obeyed except in those things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the only Lord of \the conscience and the coming Prince of kings of the earth. Rom 13: 1 – 7; II Sam 23:3; Ex 18:21; Acts 23:5.
