A Brief Summation of Our Faith

 

 
Our audio messages, articles and videos will of course attempt to show who we are, what we believe and why we believe it in greater depth. This is simply an abbreviated reference. The first eight of these truths (though not exhaustive) are absolute Christian essentials and serve as division when division is Godly.
     We affirm the Nicene Creed (A.D. 381), The Belgic Confession (1561), The Westminster Confession (1646), The Heidelberg Catechism (1563), The Baptist Confession of Faith (1689), The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (1978) and Together for the Gospel (2006) to name just a few doctrinal references. We believe that the Christian religion falls doctrinally under two simple headings: knowing God and knowing ourselves.
1. We affirm that the Holy Bible is perfect in its original text. God wrote it.
2. We affirm the physical, literal and historical Resurrection of           Jesus Christ.
3. We affirm that salvation is by grace through faith alone and not by any works.
4. We affirm that God is triune. In the nature of the only one true and living God there are three equal Persons. The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God. The Christian God is without exception one Holy Trinity.
5. We affirm Jesus’ Virgin Birth. 
6. We affirm Jesus' perfect sinlessness.
7. We affirm that Jesus is the only way to heaven for all because      all men are dead, even by the Ten Commandments alone, in       personal trespasses and sins.
8. We deny non-Lordship salvation. We must be born again. This     will change us progressively and place us willingly at war with      all known sin in our lives.
9. We affirm that the Bible requires a person simply to have a     right faith in the right God. The Christian church’s depth of     doctrinal specificity is required by the unending disputations      of her antagonists. 
10. We affirm the 66 books of the Christian canon.
11. We affirm these Scriptures as the only authoritative absolute       truth.
12. We affirm that this canon of Scripture is closed. 
13. We deny tongues as a private prayer language and affirm       this intelligible language gift in its Biblically demonstrated       context alone – a sign for unbelievers.
14. We deny that the Holy Ghost gets any Christian drunk in His        Spirit.
15. We affirm that all forms of sexual immorality to include       fornication, sodomy, lesbianism, pornography, pedophilia        and bestiality are sin.
16. We affirm that God is the omnipotent sovereign over all       things and that the world exists exactly as He ordained.
17. We deny the health, wealth and prosperity gospel.
18. We affirm the existence of one universal worldwide church       of Jesus Christ.
19. We affirm the literal six day creation of earth placing its age       within thousands of years.
20. We deny evolution on any macro level.
21. We affirm the existence of both an eternal hell and an eternal       heaven.
22. We affirm the blessedness of church discipline.
23. We affirm God’s Biblical order in ordaining only men to       pastoral positions.
24. We affirm the rapture of the church and Christ’s imminent         return in glory.
25. We affirm the commanded responsibility of every Christian       to share the Gospel.
26. We deny that salvation is surely imputed when a person       simply “prays a prayer.” Human decision is no sure       confirmation of salvation.
27. We deny that Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus, was sinless.
28. We deny that men, even Christians, are little gods.
29. We affirm all five points of Calvinism, a.k.a. TULIP.
30. We affirm the existence of a literal Satan, a fallen angel.
31. We deny that truth is relative to anyone but God.
32. We affirm that repentance and faith are necessary                       components of true salvation. 
33. We deny abortion as a choice or right.
34. We affirm that God is omniscient.
35. We affirm the doctrine of original sin.
36. We affirm all five solas of the Protestant Reformation.
37. We affirm that salvation is something knowable and evident.
38. We deny that doctrinal specificity is the enemy of a simple       childlike faith.
