My Statement of Faith Bible-
Psalm 119:140 Thy word is very pure:therefore thy servant loveth it. I believe and read daily from the KJV Bible, which is the inspired Word of God. For me , the Bible is a deep well that I dip into each day . It is a treasured gift that helps me to know the righteousness and holiness of our almighty God. I look upon it and read it knowing that it is divine, authoritative and has its own purpose which is to bring us the message of God's magnificent salvation plan.God's Word is the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
God I serve the One true living Lord, who has always been and will always be the only God. There were none before Him and shall be none after him.
Heavenly Father I believe that our Heavenly 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 Jesus Christ walked this earth as 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. On The cross , He died for my sins...He took my place.
Holy Spirit John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. I 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.
Mankind I 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 judgment, but he can accept the death of Jesus as punishment in place of his own eternal death by acknowledging God and accepting the free gift of salvation.
Salvation I believe that the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ provides the only way of justification and salvation for all who believe. 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.
Non-Essential Elements I believe the above tenets make up the basis of Christian faith on which all Christians believe and agree. I have intentionally omitted any statements regarding areas of legitimate disagreement (i.e., baptism, predestination, end times) on which agreement is not essential for salvation.
