We Believe
In the authority,
accuracy, and inspiration of the Bible alone.
(II Tim 3:16, 17; II Pet 1:19-21; Isa 40:8)
In one God who reveals
Himself to us in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
(Matt 28:19, 20; Mark 1:10, 11; I Cor 12:5-7;
I Pet 1:2; I John
5:7)
That Jesus Christ is the
eternal Son of God, that He is true God and true Man, and that He is the only Mediator between God and man.
(Matt 1:20; I Tim 2:5; John 1:1-3, 14; John 14:6)
That people by nature
and by choice are sinners, and apart from Christ's death and resurrection shall be forever separated from God.
(Rom 3:10, 23; Rom 5:12; John 3:36; John 5:24; Acts 4:12)
That salvation is by
grace through faith without works to all who believe.
(Eph 2:8, 9; Titus 3:5-7)
That once saved, you
cannot lose your salvation.
(John 10:9, 28, 29; I John 5:11-13)
That Jesus Christ died
for our sins, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures.
(Acts 1:1-3; 9-11; I Cor 15:1-4)
That the Genesis account
of creation is true, that man was created directly in God's image
and was not a matter of evolution.
(Gen 1:1-3:1; Ex 20:11; John 1:1-4; Col 1:16, 17)
That Christ will return
again, bodily, personally, and visibly, and accept the Scriptures at their face and full value on this subject.
(Psa 72:8; Isa 11:4, 5; Matt 24:27, 42;
I Thess 4:16-18; Rev
20:1-4, 6)
Dear Friend, the above statement is a simple summary of what we believe as a church family. We believe the Bible and teach it to be perfectly true. Every belief and teaching of H.B.C. flows from God's Word.
