Statement of Faith

God

Creator, eternal, incapable of imperfection and perfectly all loving. Monotheistic, God is a trinity—three persons in one. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1, John 1, 3, Matthew 3, Isaiah 6,)

Humankind

Created in God’s image and likeness to reverentially worship God. Unconditionally loved and invited to be in covenant relationship with God. Required by God to live obediently through faith by being fruitful (maximizing God given gifts for His glory), multiply (reproduce God’s image in the earth unendingly), rule (authoritatively have dominion on the earth and over all of creation in holy stewardship), subdue (protect and control the order of the earth, keeping it in submission to the will of God). (Genesis 1)

Sin

All thoughts, language and actions that separates one from God by being in rebellion towards God’s will. A rejection of covenant relationship with God, first beginning through the federal headship, Adam. And through Adam’s sin, reveals the inherent nature and propensity of sin that all humans possess. Sin leads to death and death everlastingly breaks covenant relationship with God, punishing humans tormentingly. Through this original sin, Adam brought forth spiritual and physical death to humankind. As well as total decay and disorder in every aspect of the earth. (Genesis 3, Romans 3, 5, 6, 8)

Satan

A spiritual enemy of God and humans who’s punished to everlasting torment by attempting to usurp the supremacy of God. Satan beguiled Adam and Eve which resulted in him being crushed by the seed of Adam and Eve, Jesus Christ. He has prince-ship in the earth influencing humans to reject God. (Genesis 3, Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14)

Jesus Christ

The second person of the trinitarian God-head, is the begotten Son of God, sinless and born of a virgin. He is fully God and fully human. He is the redeemer of humankind, the propitiated sacrifice for sin that provides reconciliation for humankind and God. Faith in Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection, for humankind, which removes the penalty of sin that results in eternal damnation and death, is the only way for humankind to receive justification, new spiritual life and eternal physical life after the culmination of this world when Jesus returns. Through the redeeming work of Christ, the believer receives a new glorified physical body for eternal life. (Genesis 3, John 1, 3, 14 Titus 3)

The Holy Spirit

The third person of the triune God-head, is the person who conducts spiritual rebirth for all who confess faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit resides spiritually within the believer and through the believers surrendering of God’s will, leads and sanctifies the believer until the point of physical death. The Holy Spirit provides and carry out all spiritual gifts in the life of the believer, in which we believe all gifts of the Spirit exist for today. (John 3, 14,16, Acts 2, Galatians 5, 1 Corinthians 12)

The Church

The universal collective believers of Jesus Christ. The church are the people commissioned to make followers of Jesus Christ. Through sharing the gospel message both verbally and through lifestyle of faith and obedience to Christ, is tasked to bring hope in Christ to the world. The church is endowed with spiritual gifts and full revelation of Christ to carry out the commission. (Matthew 16, 28, Acts 2)

The Bible

The authoritative perfect Word and truth of and about God and His Will. Inspired by God through specific humans he empowered to write about Him, provides complete revelation. There is no other authoritative writing besides the Bible for humans to know God. (Hebrews 1, 2 Timothy, 2 Peter 1)
