Responsible Christianity Part 3

John 17:20-21

One of the first steps a new believer should make is to join with other believers who are of “like faith and order.”

We are not an organization built on a philosophy, but a body joined together by belief.

Basic Christian Doctrine

·   God  

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - (The Trinity) - co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power with the same attributes and perfection. 

·   Salvation

Salvation begins and ends with God and His purpose of grace. 

Salvation includes God’s work of regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.

·   Security of the Believer

This is a combination of two great Biblical doctrines of the faith – Preservation of the Saints and Perseverance of the believer.

·   The Bible  

The Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is the record of God’s revelation of Himself to man.  It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction.
