Love Your Neighbor - Statement of Faith

 

 Person of Jesus, We Believe:

In one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That Jesus Christ is the divine, eternal and only begotten Son of God. Jesus physically rose from the dead and has ascended to the right hand of the Father. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life.

 

The Holy Spirit, We believe:

 He was sent forth from the Father to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. He has come and indwells, regenerates, sanctifies, instructs and comforts the saints.

 

Salvation, We believe:

 Jesus lived a sinless life and in death, as a spotless lamb, atoned for the sins of the world. Our salvation comes by grace through faith in God, not by doing good works. The Lord commissioned the church to proclaim to a lost and sinful world that: He, Jesus Christ, is the Son of God Who suffered and rose again from the dead on the third day. That we must confess our sins and repent (turn from our old ways) Forgiveness of sins is available to all who put their faith in Him.

 

The Bible, We believe:

 The Bible is God's Word. In its original tongue it is without error, and therefore is our final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

 

Church Unity, We believe:

 Jesus prayed for unity of His followers four times in John 17. The above doctrines are essential. While we may have opinions on many other doctrines, Christians do not please God when they cause division in the church over non-essential doctrine or denominational differences.
