“Presentations That Last An Eternity” Doctrinal Statement
We believe the Bible
constitutes the only infallible rule of faith and practice for the Christian
(Matthew 5:18, 24:35, John 10:35, 16:12-13, 17:17, 1 Corinthians 2:13, 2
Timothy 3:15-17, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Peter 1:20-21 and 3:15-16). 2. We believe
that there is but one living true God (Deut. 6:4, Isaiah 45:5-7, 1 Cor. 8:4),
an infinate, intelligent Spirit (John 4:24),
perfect in all His attributes, one in essence but eternally existing in three
Persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit (Psalm 139:8, Matt 28:19, 2
Cor. 13:14). God the Father disposes all
things according to His own purpose and grace (Psalm 145:8-9 and 1 Cor. 8:6)
and is creator of all things (Gen.1:1-31).
He is sovereign in creation, providence and redemption. (Job 1:6, Psalm 103:19, Romans 11:33). We believe Jesus Christ
possesses all the divine excellencies of God and in these He is coequal and
coeternal with the Father (John 10:27-30, 14:9) In His incarnation, Christ's divine
nature united with a human nature in an indissoluble union, and so He became
the God-Man (Philippians 2:5-8). We believe that the Lord
Jesus Christ was virgin born (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:25, Luke 1:26-35), that
He was God-incarnate (John 1:1,3,14,18 and 1 John 1:3) and that the purpose
of the incarnation was to reveal God, redeem men, and rule over God's kingdom
(Psalm 2:7-9, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:29, Hebrews 7:26, 1 Peter 1:19, 2:22). We believe that the Lord
Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross, and
that His death was voluntary, vicarious, substitutionary,
propitiatory, and redemptive (Romans 3:25, 5:8, 1 Peter 2:24).
We believe that our
justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the
dead; and that He ascended to the right hand of the Father where He is now
ministering as our Advocate and High Priest (Matt. 28:6, Luke 24:38-39, Acts
2:30-31, Rom. 4:25 and Hebrews 7:25,9:24).
Christ's bodily resurrection is the guarantee of a future resurrection
to life of all believers (John 5:28-29, 14:19, Romans 1:4, 4:25, 6:5-10, 1
Cor. 15:20,23). We believe that the Holy
Spirit is fully God, divine, eternal, possessing all the divine excellencies
of God, co-equal with the Father and the Son (Acts 5:3-4). We believe the Holy Spirit
executes the divine will of God with relation to the world of men. He was sovereignly
active in creation (Gen.1:2), the incarnation (Matt. 1:18), the written
revelation (2 Peter 1:20-21) and the work of salvation (John 3:5-7). 3. We believe that man was
directly and immediately created by God in His image and likeness. Man was created free of sin with a rational
nature, intelligence, volition, self-determination and moral responsibility
to God (Gen. 2:15-25, 1 Thess 5:23, James 3:9). We believe that in Adam's
sin of disobedience to God's revealed will and Word, mankind lost his
innocence, incurred the penalty of spiritual and physical death, became the
subject to the wrath of God, became corrupt and utterly incapable of choosing
or doing that which is acceptable to God apart from diving grace. Man on his own is hopelessly lost, unable
to save himself apart from the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ (Gen.
2:16-17, 3:1-19, John 3:36, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 1 Cor. 2:14, Eph. 2:1-3,8-9, 1
Tim. 2:13-14 and 1 John 1:8). 4. We believe that salvation is wholly of God by
grace, through the redemption of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood on
the cross and not on the basis of human merit or works (John 1:12, Eph. 1:7,
2:8-10 and 1 Peter 1:18-19). We believe that for man to
be saved, he must acknowledge himself to be a helpless sinner in God's sight
and in need of a Savior (Romans 3:23).
He must believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for his sins (1
Peter 3:18). He must personally
receive Jesus Christ into his life, believing that Jesus, as God, can forgive
his sins (John 1:1,12 and Mark 2:1-13). We believe that regeneration
will follow true salvation as accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit
through the Word of God (John 5:24).
Regeneration will be manifested by repentance, faith, and righteous
living. Good works, although not
required for salvation, are salvation's proper evidence and fruit (1 Cor.
6:19-20, Eph. 2:10) and will be experienced to the extent that the believer
submits to the control of the Holy Spirit in his life through faithful
obedience to the Word of God (Eph. 5:17-21, Phil. 2:12b, Col. 3:16, 2 Peter
1:4-10). “Clean Christian Comedy That
