My Statement Of Faith

I believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and preserved in the Textus Receptus/Majority texts from which the Authorized/King James Version was translated.  However, I am not in alignment with Peter Ruckman nor those who are affiliated with him or his error.  All modern versions except the NKJV are translated from corrupt texts and are mutations/aberrations of the Word of God.  The NKJV acknowledges and uses the notes of the Westcott-Hort heresy thus it has disqualified itself as well by association with that error thereby causing confusion and division within the Body of Christ.   The KJV is therefore the only trustworthy translation available in the English language. 

I believe there is one God, the source, support, and end of all things, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I 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, in His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the Father’s right hand, and His personal, pre-millennial return for His saints.

I believe in the personality of Satan; in his power and kingdom, in his wiles and temptations, in his judgment at the cross, and eternal destruction in hell.

I believe in the deity and present ministry of the Holy Spirit, that He convicts the sinner, regenerates the one who believes, indwells ,seals, instructs, reproves and guides the believer; that He fills and controls every life that is wholly yielded unto Him.

I believe that salvation is the free gift of God offered to man by His grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We reject that salvation is obtained by church membership, water baptism, good works, or anything other means outside the person and work of Jesus Christ.

I believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto life, and the unsaved unto judgment and everlasting damnation. We believe in a literal Heaven, with streets of gold, and a literal hell with fire and brimstone.

I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, not in the organized unity sought by the modern day ecumenical movement.

I believe in the local church which is a body of baptized believers who come together in obedience to Jesus Christ to carry out the dictates of the New Testament.

I believe and practice both ecclesiastical and personal separation on the basis of the Word of God.

I believe in the visible, personal, premillennial return of Jesus Christ to the earth at the close of the Great Tribulation. He will establish His kingdom and reign for 1,000 years. Afterward, we shall enter the Holy City, New Jerusalem, where we shall live and serve God throughout eternity.
