The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
(Psalms 119; Matthew 4:4; Luke 24:27)

There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:7)

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 bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right
hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this Earth in power, and glory to rule a
thousand years. (John 1:14; Ephesians 2:13-18; Revelation,Chapters. 19-20)

In the blessed hope - the rapture of the church at Christ's coming.
(1 Thessalonians. 4:13-18)

The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the
precious blood of Christ. (Romans 5:1; Ephesians  2:8-9, 13-18)

Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
(John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5)

The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer
to believing prayer. (Exodus 15:25-26; James 5:14-15; 1 Peter 2:24)

The baptism with the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4; is given to believers who ask for it.
(Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7)

In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the christian is enabled to
live a Holy life. (Romans 6:3-14: 8:1-2, 11)

In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the one to everlasting life and the
other to everlasting damnation. (Revelation 20:5-6, 11-15)

THE PRICELESS CORNER

We have set aside this corner of our web-site to show God's plan of salvation.  If you are
unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in
His Word:

FIRST...GOD LOVES YOU!

"For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life" (John 3:16)

SECOND...MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD!

"For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and sinneth not"
(Ecclesiastes 7:20).

"For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

THIRD...JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN!

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us
to God..." (1 Peter 3:18)

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

"Jesus said...'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by
Me.' "  (John 14:6)

FOURTH...YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR.

Jesus calls this experience the "new birth."  He told Nicodemus:"...Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour.  "But as
many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on His Name" (John 1:12).

Pray this prayer and mean it with all of your heart:

Dear Lord Jesus, I now realize that I am a sinner.  I accept the fact that You died for me on
the rugged Cross of Calvary.  I now open my heart's door and receive You as Saviour and
Lord of my life.  Please take full control of me and help me to be the kind of Christian You
want me to be. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child of God!  So that we might
rejoice with you, we invite you to contact Pastor Cliff via telephone or email.
