Faith Bible Church

The Bible

We believe the Bible, consisting of both the Old and New Testaments, to be
the inerrant Word of God. Every word of the originial manuscripts having been breathed by God Himself and written by men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

As God's completed revelation, the Scriptures are fully sufficient as our ultimate authority for faith and practice. (Psalm 19:7-9; 2 Timothy 3:15-17;
2 Peter 1:2-4, 20, 21)

God

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All are identical in essence and equal in power, glory, attributes and perfection. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 8:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14) We believe God the Father is the author of creation and the source of all things. He is the Head of Christ, the initiator of our salvation, the standard of holiness, and the designer of our redemption. As God, He is holy, righteous, good, loving and full of mercy. God the Father sovereignly controls the flow of human history and will personally bring it to fulfillment through the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:1-31; 1 Chronicles 29:11; Psalm 103:19, 145:8-9; 1 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 1:3-5, 10)

We believe in the true deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to earth in power and glory to reign as the King of Kings. (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1-5,14; 5:21, 25; 10:30; 14: 16-17; Romans 3:24-25; 6:5-10; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 1:15-17; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Revelation 20:11-15)

We believe in the full deity of the Holy Spirit as eternal and coequal with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, brings new life to those who were once spiritually dead, and baptizes (places) all believers into the one true universal church. The Holy Spirit permanently indwells every believer at the moment of salvation and seals them unto the day of their final redemption. The Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts for ministering to others, guides believers in all truth, and empowers them so they may live in victory over sin. (John 3:3-8; 14:16,17; 16:7-13; Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 12:7-14; Ephesians 1:13,14; 4:4-6, 30; 5:18)
