What We Believe WE HONOR JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND CHRIST Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the son of the Living God." Matthew 16: 16-18 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 3:11 And we pray this in order that you may have a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10 WE BELIEVE IN THE AUTHORITY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, correcting and training in righteousness. II Timothy 3:16 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, ... Jesus took it away, nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:14 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming ... not the realities themselves. Hebrews 10:1 WE WEAR A NEW TESTAMENT NAME -- CHRISTIAN "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." Acts 11:26 King Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?" Acts 26:28 "However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, buyt praise God that you bear that name." I Peter 4:16 WE OBEY A NEW TESTAMENT BAPTISM "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved." Mark 16:16 "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Romans 6:4 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38 WE OBSERVE A NEW TESTAMENT COMMUNION "And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them saying This is my body given for you: do this in remembrance of me." Luke 22:19 "On the first day of the week we came together to break bread." Acts 20:7 "A man ought to examine himself before he eats the bread and drinks of the cup." I Corinthians 11:28 WE LIVE A NEW TESTAMENT LIFE "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42 "Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life." Revelation 2:10
