These questions and answers are NOT elements of any sort of creed. We have no man-made creeds or doctrines. God's Word, the Bible, is sufficient for salvation. Any additions or subtractions from God's word are strongly condemned in the Bible. The questions and answers listed below are some that people ask. This is not an attempt by this website to completely characterize our congregation of Christians.

Is repentance absolutely necessary?
Must one confess with ones mouth that Jesus is the Christ?
Baptism - must one be baptized to be saved?
Can a person fall from grace?
Will there be a hell, an eternal punishment?
The word “non-institutional” frequently occurs on some literature. What does this mean?
What is biblical faith?

Answers

Jesus said – Mark 16:15,16 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”

Paul said – Acts 22:16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Peter said – 1 Peter 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
