Declaración de fe
Dios:
Creemos que hay un solo Dios, que existe eternamente en tres personas: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.
Padre:
Creemos que el Padre es eterno, omnisciente, omnipresente y todopoderoso. Dios es santo, justo y recto. Su amor, gracia, misericordia y justicia se manifestaron en la muerte sacrificial de su Hijo unigénito, otorgando la salvación a todos los que creen.
Hijo:
Creemos en la divinidad absoluta de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y en su absoluta humanidad por medio de su nacimiento virginal. Creemos en la vida sin pecado de nuestro Señor, aunque fue tentado en todo momento durante su humanidad. Creemos que sufrió en nuestro lugar y murió para satisfacer la justicia de Dios; creemos en su resurrección corporal, su ascensión a la diestra del Padre y su regreso personal en gloria y poder.
Holy Spirit:
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Lord, who convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates the lost. He is the gift of the Father and of Christ to the church, indwelling all believers, sealing them in the body of Christ unto the day of redemption. He is the divine teacher who guides believers into all truth. He imparts his fruit and his gifts to all believers. Believers should display the fruit of the Spirit and exercise the gifts of the Spirit as found in scripture.
The Holy Scriptures:
We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be verbally inspired of God and to be the special revelation of God to man, inerrant and infallible in their original writing. They are the supreme and final authority for faith and practice.
Man:
We believe that man is originally created in the image of God, but the entire race of man was separated from God through the sin of one man, Adam. We believe no man can reconcile himself with God. Therefore man remains separated from God until the Holy Spirit regenerates him through faith in Jesus Christ.
Satan:
We believe that Satan is the author of sin. He has been defeated by the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ; he and his angels shall be punished eternally at the coming of Christ.
Sin:
We believe sin is every lack of conformity to the will of God or transgression of the law of God. Sin is manifest in the selfishness, rebellion, and total depravity of man’s heart, conscience and conduct before God and man.
Salvation:
We believe in the absolute necessity of salvation through the Holy Spirit because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature: and that people are justified by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone are we saved.
Sanctification:
Sanctification is realized in believers by recognizing their identification with Christ in his death and resurrection, and by the faith that depends daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.
Kingdom of God:
We believe that God is the Eternal King and that his kingdom is everlasting. God’s rule has always been, is now and forever will be; it was spoken of in the law and prophets and came to fulfillment in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are working towards the consummation of the kingdom at the end of the age, which will come about when Jesus Christ comes visibly, in glory and triumph.
Heaven and Hell:
We believe that heaven is a literal place of eternal righteousness and fellowship with God. We also believe that hell is a literal place of eternal punishment and separation from the mercies of God. We believe in the literal resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of the eternal death.
Unity of Believers:
We believe that there is one universal church consisting of all those possessing the same faith as Abraham. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
