STATEMENT OF FAITH
§ the
bible is
the complete and only divine revelation, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
§ god is eternally one. He
is also eternally the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, the three being distinct
but not separate.
§ christ is both the complete
God and the perfect man. He was divinely conceived in the womb of a human
virgin, lived a genuine human life on earth, and died a vicarious and
all-inclusive death on the cross. After three days He resurrected bodily and
ascended to the heavens. He is now in glory, still fully God and fully man. He
will return to reign over the earth in the millennium and in eternity.
§ the
spirit, the
third of the Trinity, is equally God. All that the Father has and is, is
expressed by the Son; and all that the Son has and is, is realized as the
Spirit.
§ man is unable to fulfill
the requirements of God’s righteousness, holiness, and glory, and thus is in
need of God’s salvation. Because of Christ’s death on the cross, which
fulfilled all of God’s requirements, God forgives, justifies, and reconciles
those who believe in Jesus Christ and His work.
§ the
believers, based
on Christ’s redemption, are regenerated by God with His Spirit that they may
become His children possessing His life and nature. They enjoy a daily
salvation in His Body in this age and the eternal salvation in the coming age
and in eternity.
§ the
new jerusalem as
the consummation of God's salvation will be the mutual habitation of the
redeeming God and His redeemed elect for eternity.
