CHRISTIAN-ATTORNEY.NET STATEMENT OF FAITH I
believe in:
1.
The deity of our
Lord Jesus Christ (John
1:1, 1:14; John 20:28-29; Hebrews 1:8-9).
2. His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27). 3. His blood atonement (payment in full for our debt of sins) (Acts 20:28; Romans 3:25, 5:9; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:12-14). 4. His bodily resurrection (Luke 24:36-46; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). 5. His second coming (Matthew 24:30; Revelation 19:11-12; Acts 1:11, Revelation 20:1-6). 6. The divine inspiration and reliability of the scriptures (Psalms 12:6-7; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21). 7. Salvation (eternal life) by God's grace through faith, not by works (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). Note:
Genuine saving
faith,
however, should thereafter produce good works as a
byproduct (Ephesians
2:10;
Titus 2:11-12, 3:8; James
2:17, 2:18, 2:26).
8. One eternal and triune God: One
God (James
2:19, Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, 32,
Deuteronomy 4:39, Isaiah 45:6, Malachi 2:10)
Forever only one God (Isaiah 43:10, 44:6, 41:4) Plural Being (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) Genesis 1:1 and Deuteronomy 6:4 (God = plural noun "Elohim"); Genesis 1:26, 3:22, Matthew 28:19 ("name" - not names - of Father, Son and Holy Spirit), and hundreds of other scriptures. Good,
but inadequate analogies:
