STATEMENT OF FAITH
Posted On 07/04/2007 09:57:22 by usamjohn
STATEMENT OF FAITH 
  1. I believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God (II Timothy 3:15-17, II Peter 1:21).
  2. I believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
  3. I believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:34-35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11-16).
  4. I believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24, Romans 3:23; 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
  5. I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are not unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
  6. I believe in the spiritual unity of all true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).
  7. I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30; 5:18).
  8. I believe as a Christian we are to be examples of the love of God in this world. It is this (agape) love that we desire to possess and without which we have no right to call ourselves Christians (I John 4:16-17).
  9. I believe it is the mandate of the whole Church to go into the whole world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature. (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20)
  10. I believe in the two ordinances of the local church, Baptism and the Lord’s Table.
  11. Eschatology; We believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, and premillenial return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  12. I believe that the believer’s salvation is eternally secure in Christ.
John is an ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He holds a Diploma of Biblical Studies. He believes in expository preaching & teaching. He is non-charismatic and non-Calvinistic. He is the husband of one wife and has never been divorced. He has 2 children, ages 7 & 5. John’s philosophy of ministry – Jesus Christ came to earth not to place men in the bondage of dead religion, but to bring redemption to all mankind! Be Gospel focused and grow in Grace and the knowledge of the Lord and Savior every day!
