Statement of Faith

 

...The Bible

The bible is the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16)All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in righteuosness.

 

...God

There is only one God(Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings.

He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father(Creator),in the son(Savior),and as the Holy Ghost

(indwelling Spirit).

 

...Father

God is a Spirit (John 4:24).He is the Eternal One,the Creator of all things,and the Father of all humanity

by creation.

He is the First and the Last,and beside Him there is no God (Isaiah 44:6).

There was no God formed before Him;neither shall be there any after Him (Isaiah 43:10).

 

...Son

Jesus is the Son of God according to the flesh(Romans 1:3) and the very God Himself according to the

Spirit (Matthew 1:23).Jesus is the Christ(Matthew 16:16); the creator of all things (Colossians 1:16-17);

God with us (Matthew 1:23);God made flesh (John 1:1-14);God manifested in the flesh(1 Timothy 3:16);

He which was,which is,and which is to come,the Almighty (Revelation 1:8);the mighty God, 

everlasting Father,and Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6).

Jesus Himself testified of His identity as God when He said,"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father"

(John 14:7-11) and "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30).

It took shedding of blood for the remission of the sins of this world(Hebrew 9:22),but God the Father

was a Spirit and had no blood to shed.Thus He prepared a body of flesh and blood ( Hebrew 10:5)and

came to earth as a man in order to save us, for in Isaiah 43:11 He said,"Beside me there is no Savior."

When He came in flesh the angels sang,"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,

which is Christ the Lord" (Luke2:11).

 

...Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost is not a third person in the Godhead,but rather the Spiritof God(the Creator),the Spirit

of the resurrected Christ. The Holy Ghost comes to dwell in the hearts an live of everyone who 

belives and obeys the gospel,as the comforter,Sustainer,and keeper (John 14:16-26;Romans 8:9-11).
