Statement of faith
Statement of Faith
I believe that the Bible is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. That the volume of the book is about Christ. It is one book in 66 parts penned by 40 authors over thousands of years, yet it is one message. I believe that the "New Testament" is in the old concealed, and that the "Old Testament" is in the new revealed.
I believe everyone will be held accountable for their views on the creation story, the fall, and the plan for redemption.
I believe in six literal days.
I believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (were He now sits) and in His personal return in power and glory. (To rule over the whole world in Jerusalem, as king, on the physical throne of David, for a literal one thousand years.)
I believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation. That this regeneration, happens when one believes in Christ.
I believe in the gifts of the Spirit. That they are given when one believes, and gives their life over to Christ.
I believe baptism is nothing more than an outward expression of an inward change.
I believe once saved, always saved. Salvation is not based on what we do, it is based solely on His Grace.
I believe that in eternity everyone will be raised, those who are saved to live with God - those who are lost to eternal separation from God and damnation.
I believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is available to believers as the source of power to live a Godly life.
I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ.
I believe!
