Statement of Faith. The School’s Statement of Faith is informed by the truth of the Bible. We believe in: ▪ One God eternally existent in three Persons; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. ▪ The sovereignty of God in creation, providence, redemption, revelation and final judgement. ▪ The Divine inspiration of the original documents of the Bible, its entire inerrancy, trustworthiness, sufficiency and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. ▪ The Deity of our Lord Xxxxx Xxxxxx, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death on the cross as our representative and substitute, and only sin-bearer, in His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His mediatorial work and in His personal, visible return in power and glory. ▪ The sinfulness and guilt of all mankind, rendering them subject to God's wrath and condemnation. ▪ Justification of the sinner by the grace of God through personal faith in Xxxxxx alone, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. ▪ The receiving and indwelling of the Holy Spirit at conversion, and His continuing work in the heart and life of the believer. ▪ The only holy Universal Church, the body of which Xxxxxx is the Head, to which all true believers belong. ▪ The bodily resurrection and judgement of all mankind, the believer to life everlasting and the unbeliever to eternal damnation.
Statement of Faith. The Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation from God Himself, divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need and duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind. There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our Xxxx Xxxxx was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin - Xxxx, a lineal descendant of Xxxxx. He lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels. He was put to death by crucifixion under Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx. God raised from the dead the body that had been nailed to the cross. The Xxxx Xxxxx after His crucifixion showed Himself to be alive to His disciples, appearing unto them in the space of 40 days. After this, the Xxxx Xxxxx ascended into heaven, and the Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church. The Xxxx Xxxxx, before His incarnation, existed in the form of God and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. In His pre-existent state, He was with God and was God. He is a divine person possessed of all the attributes of Deity, and should be worshiped as God by angels and man. "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." All the words that He spoke during His earthly life were the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them, and by the words of Xxxxx Xxxxxx the words of all other teachers must be tested. The Xxxx Xxxxx became in every respect a real man, possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. By His death on the cross, the Xxxx Xxxxx made a perfect and complete atonement for sin, by which the wrath of God against sinners is appeased and a ground furnished upon which God can deal in mercy and grace with sinners. He redeemed us from the curse of the law...
Statement of Faith. The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God’s infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks. We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which xxxxxxx the ministry to which God has called us.

Statement of Faith. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God, and speaks with final authority concerning all matters of belief and conduct. • We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He is the Maker of all things, both visible and invisible. • We believe in the deity and humanity of Xxxxx the Xxxxxx, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power and glory. • We believe that lost and sinful individuals are saved through a direct, personal encounter with the risen Lord, at which time they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whom Xxxxxx xxxxxxxx each believer, enabling him or her to live a godly life of obedience towards spiritual maturity and Xxxxxx- likeness. • We believe in the resurrection and judgment of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of condemnation. • We believe the Holy Spirit unites all true believers in the Lord Xxxxx Xxxxxx, with equality across race, gender and class differences, and that together they form one body, the church. This unity does not negate our creative distinctiveness as male or female, but underscores our oneness with God’s family as unique children. • We believe that God created every person in His own image as male or female. This sexual distinction and complementarity establishes a normative connection between biological sex and gender. The fall of mankind has corrupted this order, brought about brokenness and confusion regarding gender issues. God’s Word continues to affirm the sanctity of one’s biological sex. Because of this reality, the Bible affirms that marriage is exclusively between one man and one woman for life. Marriage is thus the only proper context for sexual desire and behavior.
