The
following statement is the framework from which all Bible
and Bible-related subjects are taught:
We believe...
...the
Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative
Word of God.
...there
is One and Only God, eternally existent in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
...in
the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin
birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious
and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily
resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of
the Father, and HIs personal return to power and
glory.
...that
the Holy Spirit comes to live in us, to assist
us in the regeneration of our sinful soul and make
us every day more like our savior Jesus Christ.
...in
the resurrection of both the saved and the lost;
they that are saved unto the resurrection of life
eternal in paradise and they that are lost unto
the resurrection of eternal separation from God
and from all that is good.
...in
the spiritual unity of believers through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
...in
the Great Physician, our Lord Jesus Christ, and
in His ability to heal all disease according to
the plan of God for each individual (some persons
are healed and some are not, we do not know why).
...that
Jesus Christ will return King of Kings and Lord
of Lords.
This
Statement of Faith will be taught to our children in
response to what Jesus said, "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." Matthew
18:5 (NIV)
"Teach a child in the way he should go;
and when he is old
he will not depart from it"
Proverbs 22:6
