STATEMENT OF FAITH

Indicate what article is listed by choosing the best answer.

The Bible, composed of the Canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, is God’s revelation, and, as originally given, is the fully and verbally inspired Word of God. It is without error in all that it affirms and constitutes the ultimate authority for faith and practice. Since the Scriptures are the ultimate and decisive standard of faith, all creeds, theological teachings, and traditions are subordinate to them.

Jesus Christ, who became man, was born of the Virgin Mary. Existing with God the Father, and having become man, he has two natures – the divine and the human, which are inseparably united in one person. Thus, Jesus Christ is true God and also true man. He suffered and died under Pontius Pilate as a substitutionary sacrifice to provide salvation for mankind. He rose again on the third day and ascended into heaven where he is now seated at God’s right hand of power, ruling over all things and interceding for us as advocate and High Priest, until He comes again to establish his kingdom upon the earth.

The Holy Spirit is a divine person, the executive of the Godhead, the Comforter who indwells, guides, and empowers the believer for victorious living and effective service.

He calls and keeps the Church in faith and holiness and convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment.

 

 

 

Salvation cannot be obtained by means of good works, religious ceremonies, or human merit, but only by God’s grace through the redemption of Jesus Christ. It is received by faith in Christ, the only Savior and mediator between sinful man and the holy God.

Upon repentance from sin and the exercise of faith in Christ, the believer is justified in God’s sight, adopted into God’s household, born again, and united to Christ, through whose merit alone he is accepted before God.
