Faith Christian Fellowship holds these doctrines
in common with Evangelical Christians
- We believe that the Bible is the word of God, divinely inspired in
all parts and free from error in the original writings. We believe that
the Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith
and life. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21)
- We believe in one God who exists eternally in three personsthe
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians
13:14; John 15:26)
- We believe in Jesus Christ, God's eternal Son, who became a man by
being born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a life of perfect obedience,
died for our sins in our place, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended
to the right hand of God the Father. He is now in a position of authority
over all things and is our only advocate before God. We believe in His
personal visible, sudden return from heaven as Lord and Judge of all.
(Philippians 2:3-11; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16)
- We believe that the Holy Spirit applies the work of God to peoplethat
He renews our hearts, persuades us to repent of our sins and confess
Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, and empowers us to live lives pleasing
to God. (Titus 3:4-6; Romans 5:5)
- We believe that human beings were created in the image of God. Tempted
by Satan, they rebelled against God and became tragically estranged
from their Creator. Now all people are sinners by nature and by choice,
and are incapable of returning to God apart from faith in Jesus Christ.
(Genesis 1-3; Ephesians 2:1-10)
- We believe that both the just and the unjust will be raised bodily
at the end of the age, some to everlasting blessedness and some to everlasting
punishment. (1 Corinthians 15, 24-28; Revelation 20:11-15)
- We believe that the church is the living body of Christ and is made
up of all who are united to Him by faith. Christ calls His church to
offer acceptable worship to God, to love and care for one another, to
make disciples of all nations by going, baptizing, and teaching them
to obey all Christ's commands. (Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:9; Matthew
28:18-20)
A fuller treatment of these and other key doctrines
is contained in The
