What Does A Church's Statement Of Faith Mean To You? by OmoTier1(m): 9:02pm On Aug 02, 2012
Here's my church -Believer's Loveworld - aka CHRIST EMBASSY Statement of Faith!

This is the statement of Bible doctrine as believed and taught by the Believers’ LoveWorld Inc. aka Christ Embassy. This statement of faith has its source in the Bible and is in total agreement with the foundational principles of the doctrines of Christ.

We believe that the Bible contains the inspired and infallible Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1: 20-21)

We believe that there is only one God eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. (Ephesians 4:5-6, Gen. 1:26, Matthew 3:16-17)

We believe in the deity of Christ. (John 1: 1-4; John 10:30; Hebrews 1:1-5)
a. He was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:30-35)
b. He was conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:30-35)
c. He died (John 19:30-35)
d. He rose again from the dead bodily (John 20:25-29, Luke 24:36-40)
e. He ascended into heaven bodily (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew 29-30)

We believe in the rapture of the church and the Second coming of Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew 29-30)

We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus
(Acts 3:19, Luke 24:47; Ephesians 1:7)

We believe regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God is essential for personal salvation
(Titus 2:5, John 3:3-5, Ephesians 5:25-27)

We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides divine healing for the body, salvation for the soul of everyone that believes.
(1 Peter 2: 24; Acts 3: 16, Acts 9: 32 – 35)

We believe that when an individual receives the Holy Ghost, he receives divine enablement for Christian service and witness.
(Acts 1: 8; 2:4; 3:1 – 26; 4:5 - 12)

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost.
(Romans 15: 16; 1 Corinthians 6:11)

We believe in the final resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the former to eternal life and the latter to eternal judgment.
(Revelations 20: 11 – 15; 1 Corinthians 15: 12 - 23)

Do you know and most importantly believe in your church's Statement of Faith? Have taken time to examine it to see if it aligns rightly aligns with what the scriptures rightly teaches? What does a Statement of Faith mean to you even?
