teachings of our beliefs, we insist on an attitude of love and respect
toward everyone. |

| About
PEOPLE |
| People are made in the spiritual
image of God. |
| They are the supreme object of
God's creation. |
| Every person had tremendous
potential for good. |
| But each of us is born with with a
nature which produces and attitude of disobedience towards God, called
"Sin". |
| This sin separates people from
God, is the root cause of problems in life and destines them for eternal
judgment. |

| About
SALVATION |
| Salvation means to be rescued, and
God desires to rescue people form the consequences of their sin. |
| We can never make up for our sin
by knowledge, self-improvement, or good works. |
| Only by trusting in Jesus Christ
as God's payment for our sins and his offer of forgiveness, can anyone
be saved from sin's penalty. |
| When we turn from our self-ruled
life, and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. |
| Eternal life begins the moment on
received Jesus Christ by faith. |
| (John 3:16; Romans
3:23; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:16; John 1:12; Titus 3:5;
Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9). |

| About
ETERNITY |
| People were created as spiritual
beings to exist forever. |
| We will either exist eternally
separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and
salvation. |
| Every person decides their eternal
destiny. |
| To be eternally separated from God
is hell. |
| To be eternally in union with Him
in heaven. |
| Heaven and hell are real places of
eternal existence. |
| (John 3:16; John 14:7;
Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 2 Corinthians 2:7-9). |
