The statement of faith is the website’s beliefs.
This website believes that:
1. God is the creator of the universe (Genesis 1:1) and nothing was made without him (John 1:3). God is 1 being, existing in 3 persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost/Spirit (the Holy Trinity) (Matthew 28:19). God, and his ways, are perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4, Psalm 18:30, and Isaiah 55:8-9), and as the creator, he knows everything (Isaiah 46:10 and 1 John 3:20).
2. Jesus Christ is God incarnate and the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity. He came to Earth to die for the world’s sins (John 3:16-18). He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18), born of a virgin named Mary (Luke 1:27), lived a perfect (sinless) life (Hebrews 4:15 and 1 Peter 2:22), willingly died on a cross (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19), and rose from the dead 3 days later (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20).
3. The Holy Bible is God’s word; the original autographs are God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), inerrant, and invaluable for Christians (2 Timothy 3:17). God never contradicts his Word (Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2, and Hebrews 6:18), which he has made the supreme authority for Christianity and the primary method of his communication.
4. Mankind (the human race) is God’s special creation, made on the 6th day (Genesis 1:26-29), in God’s image (Genesis 1:26), and after Earth was watered (Genesis 2:6-7). Man was created to enjoy fellowship with God as his children and glorify him (Isaiah 43:7 and 1 Corinthians 10:31). However, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command to not eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3), the human race fell and became sinful (Romans 5:12-14), naturally opposed to God (Romans 3:10-18). People cannot become righteous in themselves to be saved (Isaiah 64:6).
5. Salvation is provided via Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on a cross, where his blood was shed, sufficient to atone for the world’s sins (Hebrews 9:22). When a sinner has godly sorrow over their sins (2 Corinthians 7:10), leading to repentance and belief in the gospel (Mark 1:15), trusting Jesus to save them, they are forgiven of their sins (1 John 1:9), saved from God’s wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9), made a child of God (John 1:12), given eternal life (John 3:16 and 1 John 5:12), indwelt by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), given victory over death (1 Corinthians 15:51-57 and Revelation 20:6), and guaranteed an eternity with God (1 John 3:2 and Revelation 21-22).
6. Angels are spiritual beings (Hebrews 1:14) who, like humans, have free will. Angels were created to glorify God (Hebrews 1:6) and serve as his messengers, and holy angels do that. However, some angels rebelled against God, including Lucifer, who wanted to be God (Isaiah 14:13-14 and Ezekiel 28:15). The other angels who rebelled against God did so by following Lucifer, and they were cast out of the 3rd heaven. Lucifer is now called Satan, a Hebrew word for “adversary”, and the fallen angels are demons.
7. The 2 eternal places to be inhabited will be the lake of fire and the new heavens and new earth. The wicked (demons and unsaved) will suffer eternal death and separation from God (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10) in the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20, 20:10, 14-15, and 21:8). The righteous (Christians and holy angels) will enjoy eternal life and fellowship with God in the new heavens and new earth (Isaiah 65:17-25, 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, and Revelation 21-22). The new heavens and new earth will replace the 1st heavens and the 1st earth (Revelation 21:1), which will be destroyed by fire (2 Peter 3:10-13). Prior to that, every sinner will be judged by Jesus Christ (John 5:22-23) to receive punishment (for the wicked) or reward (for the righteous). The wicked will be judged after the 7-year Tribulation on Earth to receive eternal punishment (Matthew 25:31-46 and Revelation 20:11-15), and the righteous will give an account to God (2 Corinthians 5:10) to receive or lose rewards (1 Corinthians 3:10-15).
