Matthew
25:35-40
35 For
I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave
Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
36 Naked,
and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came
to Me. 37 Then
the righteous will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You,
or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 And
when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 When
did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? 40 The
King will answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did
it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.

Statements of Faith
-
Bible:
We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible authoritative
Word of God. 1 Cor. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21.
-
Trinity:
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut 6:4, 2 Cor 13:14)
-
Jesus Christ: We believe in the
Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning
death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection,
in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His
personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1-2; Luke 1:35;
Rom. 3:24-25; 1 Pet. 1:3-5).
-
Salvation:
We believe that people are saved through a direct, personal
encounter with the risen Lord, at which time they are regenerated
by the Holy Spirit. We believe that regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and
sinful people. (Rom. 8:1, 38, 39; John 10:27-30; 1 Cor. 1:4-8;
Phil. 1:6; 2 Tim. 1:12, Eph 1:3-8, 2 Thes 2:13, 1 Pet 1:3-5,
1 Cor 6:19-20, 1 Pet 1:18-19)
-
Holy
Spirit:
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by
Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live the Godly
life of obedience as he reaches for maturity. (Rom. 8:9; 1
Cor. 12:12-14; Eph. 1:13-14, 5:18-20, 1 Cor 6:19-20, Rom 8,
Titus 3:5).
-
Eternal
Life:
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost
- those who are saved to the resurrection of eternal life,
and those who are lost to the resurrection of eternal punishment.
(John 5:24-29; John 3:14-17; John 3:36; 1 John 5:11-13; John
11:24-26; John 17:1-3; Matthew 13:40-43; Matthew 25:41-46).
-
Church
Body:
We believe the Holy Spirit unites all true believers in the
Lord Jesus Christ and that together they form one Body, the
Church and the evidence of that spiritual unity is shown by
our love for one another. We believe each individual believer
is uniquely gifted by the Holy Spirit with divine abilities
necessary for the growth and edification of the Body as a
whole. (1 Cor 12, Eph. 1:22-23, 2:19-22, 4:11-16, 5:25-27;
John 13:34-35;1 John 3:14-18)
