Statement
of Faith
I
believe in the one true God who exists in three
persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who
created heaven and earth, and made man in His own
image.
I
believe that, due to the fall of Adam into sin, we
are all stained and deserving of eternal
punishment in hell away from God’s presence,
because He is perfectly holy, and only holy
perfection can approach Him.
I
believe that the Father sent His Son, Jesus
Christ, the Lamb of God, to Earth to take on human
flesh, being born of a virgin by the power of the
Holy Spirit, and, to live a perfect life on our
behalf, reveal His kingdom, die for His elect as
an efficacious substitution on the cross, and thus
meet God’s holy standard by providing the
payment He demands for sin so that his people who
respond to His call to repentance and salvation,
enabled by the regenerative work of the Holy
Spirit, are completely forgiven and cleansed, are
credited as righteous by the perfect work of
Christ, and are adopted as God’s children and
sealed with the Holy Spirit as a sign of their
eternal inheritance in heaven; they will be raised
from the dead, just as Christ Jesus was raised
from the dead and ascended into heaven, and will
glorify God forever in perfect bliss when Jesus
returns in His glory to consummate His eternal
Kingdom on earth.
I
believe that the Holy Spirit dwells with and
within His forgiven, saved people, comforts and
counsels us, convicts us of sin, and empowers holy
lives through the process of sanctification in
service to God and witness of the Gospel on Earth
in this temporal life until the resurrection of
the dead and the life everlasting.
