About Us
We believe that before the
Rapture, some imminent world crisis will be resolved by the Antichrist, who
will then lead the world into economic prosperity. Cities like
We want to remind our
readers that the fulfillment of biblical prophecy is sometimes a two-step
process. For example, the Old Testament clearly reveals two distinct
appearances of the Messiah/Christ. First, as the suffering servant of the Lord:
"For he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities,
the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are
healed" (Isaiah 53:5; and see Psalm
22 regarding the Crucifixion). Second, the Messiah will come at the end of
the age as the conquering king: "Then the Lord will go out and fight
against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet
will stand on the Mount of Olives.Then the Lord my God will come and all his
holy ones with him" (Zechariah 14:3-5).
Many Christian Bible
scholars, e.g. Arthur E. Bloomfield and Joseph Augustus Seiss, recognized that

Our Statement of Faith
We also believe
1. There is one true God,
eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- each of
whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
2. Jesus Christ is God,
the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy
Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity
united in one person forever.
3. He lived a sinless life
and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their
substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all
who trust in Him alone.
4. He rose from the dead
in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
5. He ascended bodily into
heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only
mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
6. Man was originally
created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was
alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine
condemnation.
7. Man's nature is
corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of
regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
8. The salvation of man is
wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of
human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to
those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby
justified them in His sight.
9. It is the privilege of
all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the
very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not
based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy
Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
10. The Holy Spirit has
come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work
of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to
them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals
them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are
appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
11. Every believer is
called to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit so that he will not
fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
12. Jesus Christ is the
Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all people, living and dead,
who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
13. God admonishes His
people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in
ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual
encouragement.
14. At physical death the believer
enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits
the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
15. At physical death the
unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord
and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and
condemnation.
16. Jesus Christ will come
again to the earth -- personally, visibly and bodily -- to consummate history
and the eternal plan of God.
17. The Lord Jesus Christ
commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to
disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires
that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment
to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us."
18. The sole basis of our
beliefs is the Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old
and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully
inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (inerrant) in
the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters
on which it speaks.
Yours in Christ,
