The basis of our Association is the Word of God and through its authority we offer the following as our statement of faith:
-
We believe in the divine and infallible inspiration of the Scriptures. (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Tim. 3:16)
-
We believe in the triune God existing in three person: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Gal. 4:6; Matt. 3:16-27; Eph. 4:4-6; 2 Cor. 13:14)
-
We believe in the deity, virgin birth, and sinless life of our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 1:1, 14; 10:30; Luke 1:34-35; Heb. 4:15)
-
We believe in Christ’s atoning death through His shed blood for our sins, and that He arose from the grave and ascended to the right hand of God where He makes intercession for us. (Rom. 3:24-25; 5:8-9; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; Eph. 1:20; Heb. 4:14-16)
-
We believe in the sinful nature of all men and his condemnation but that he can have salvation by grace through faith in the work of Jesus Christ. (Rom. 3:23; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9)
-
We believe that the salvation of man and his faith is wrought by the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit enables us to live a godly life and secures
our atonement. (Titus 3:5; John 3:5; Eph. 5:18; Rom. 8:2; Eph. 1:13-14)
-
We believe in the resurrection of all men; the saved shall receive the
resurrection of life, and the lost shall receive the resurrection of damnation. (Luke 14:14; John 5:28-29; Rev. 20:11-15)
-
We believe in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and the rapture of believers. (Acts 1:11; John 14:2-3; 1 Cor. 15:51-53; 1 Thess. 4:13-17)
-
We believe every Christian is to keep himself separated from the sinful world, and in so doing must deny sinful habits and worldly influences. We believe that every Christian should uphold a proper scriptural standard in order to be a testimony to the lost and to other Christians.
-
We believe we must stand against and separate from ungodly and apostate philosophies such as Liberalism, Ecumenism, New Age Thinking, Humanism, and Occult Influences. (II Cor. 6:14-17; II Thess. 1:9, 10; II Tim. 3:1-5)
Therefore, no members will be admitted to the Association who adhere any of the above philosophies. If specific questions arise concerning any of the above or similar philosophies, the school board will have the authority to make judgments in these matters.
