Statement of FaithBible: We
believe the Bible, consisting of 66 books, to be the inspired Word of God,
without error, the revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the
divine and final authority for all Christian faith and
life.
God: We believe in one God existing in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God has always been and will always be the only
God. There were none before Him and shall be none after him.
The
Father: We believe that the Father created all things in heaven and on
earth. He created human beings out of a love for us and desires a personal
relationship with each of us.
Jesus: We believe that Jesus
Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and
born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the
sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily
from the dead and ascended into heaven.
Holy Spirit: We believe
that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict men, making them aware of
their sin and the salvation available through Jesus. He regenerates, guides,
instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and
service.
Man: We believe that man was created in the image of
God and sinless, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and subject to
judgment. There is nothing man can do to save himself from this judgement, but
he can allow the death of Jesus to take the place of his own eternal damnation
by acknowledging God and accepting the free gift of
salvation.
Salvation: We believe that the sacrificial death of
Jesus Christ provides the only way of justification and salvation for all who
believe. Furthermore, any who attach additional works of man as a requirement
for salvation are false in that they infer Jesus death is insufficient in and
of itself to save and that human beings somehow have the capability to save
themselves.
