Regarding the Scriptures as the inspired and complete word of God, we accept them as our only source of faith and rule of practice.  We believe that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God and that salvation is conditioned on faith in and obedience to him as our Lord and Savior.  We claim and aim to be Christians only, neither Catholic nor Protestant, but simply members of the body of Christ.  It is our purpose to speak as the oracles of God (1 Peter 4:11) and to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3).
