What We Believe at Faith Bible Church

What We Believe

THE BIBLE:  We believe the Holy Bible of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired, inerrant, infallible, eternal Word of God, the sole authority for faith and life.

THE GODHEAD:  We believe in the eternal existence of the Godhead in three Persons:  God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

JESUS:  We believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who was born of the virgin Mary, the perfect God man, who died on the cross in our place as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world, was buried, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.

CHRIST’S RETURN:  We believe that Jesus Christ will literally return in the air before the 7-year Tribulation Period to rapture all believers and that He will literally come back to earth at the close of the Tribulation Period to set up His 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom on Earth.

MAN:  We believe that man was created in the image of God but that through the first man, Adam, man fell so that all are sinners and need salvation.

SALVATION:  We believe that salvation is the gift of God received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone - through faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone whose precious blood was shed on Calvary’s cross for the forgiveness of sins.

HOLY SPIRIT:  We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts unbelievers of their need for salvation and that He permanently regenerates, indwells, baptizes, and seals all believers, and that He is the Comforter and Guide who lives permanently in every believer.

ASSURANCE:  We believe that every person who receives Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is secure for all of eternity.

ETERNITY:  We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life in Heaven and the unsaved to eternal punishment in hell.

ORDINANCES:  We believe that two ordinances are given to the church:  The Lord’s Supper and water baptism by immersion and that they are reserved for and to be observed by those who profess faith in Jesus Christ.

MISSIONS:  We believe that all who are saved are to witness by their life and by word and to seek to proclaim the gospel to the whole world.
