We believe that salvation is by God’s grace alone on the basis of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and in His resurrection, appropriated by the faith of anyone who will personally believe in his heart and confess with his mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord (Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10). We believe that the act of salvation is just as definite and decisive as physical birth (John 3:17). We believe that this salvation cannot be reversed or lost and that believers are kept by the power of God (John 10:28–29; 1 John 2:19; Romans 8:35–39; 1 Peter 1:5).
