STATEMENT OF FAITH
Copyright © Bahram Khozairy. All Rights Reserved.
Trinity - We Believe there is only ONE God that is eternally and simultaneously existing in Three Persons, The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:15-17 ; 1 John 5:7 ; Ephesians 4:4-6.
Virgin Birth & Deity of Jesus Christ - We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary according to the Scriptures and that He is fully God and fully man. Isaiah 7:14 ; Luke 1:35 ; Luke 2:7,11,52 ; John 1:1-2, John 10:30, John 8:58, Titus 2:12-13.
Death of Christ on the Cross - We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary atonement and sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified and redeemed on the basis of His shed blood. Christ on the cross ended the Old Testament Regime and fulfilled all of the requirements of the Old Testament Laws. As Christians, we are therefore no longer under the Old Testament Covenant and Laws, rather under the New Testament Covenant and Grace. Therefore the entire Law has been fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3;24-25, 1 Peter 1:18-19, 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 5;17-18, Romans 10:4, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 7:23-24, Mark 7:18-19, Hebrews 10:1-18.
Physical and Bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ - We believe in the literal physical resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ and His ascension into Heaven. Romans 8:34, Romans 6:4-5, Mark 15:5-7, Luke 24:6-7, John 11:25, 1Corinthians 15:4, 1Corinthians 15:14, Acts 1:9.
Salvation by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone - We believe the salvation of mankind is only through faith on the finished works of Christ and only through and by the Lord Jesus Christ's Grace. It is NOT by any human works or efforts. God saves us by His grace. We receive His grace when we put our faith in Christ as the One who died for our sins and rose from the dead on our behalf. We cannot work for our salvation nor earn it through any human merit. We receive salvation as a gift from God. God gets the credit and we receive the gift of eternal life in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9.
Sinfulness of man - We believe human beings are created in the image of God and are all born with a sinful nature and are born separated from God. Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:1-7, Romans 5:12, Romans 3:22-23.
Christ's Physical Second Coming - We believe in the "blessed hope", the personal physical return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, John 14:1-4, Revelations 20:6, Acts 1:10-11.
Bible as the only Inerrant Word of God - We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as being inspired by God and completely inerrant in the original writings and are the final and supreme authority for life and faith. 1 Corinthians 2:13 ; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ; 2 Peter 1:20-21.
Born Again Christian - We believe all who truly receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and therefore become eternally children of God, an eternal relationship, which is secure. Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 2:11-14, 1 Peter 1:5, John 6:37.
