Delhi Bible Fellowship Statement of Faith
|
1. We believe
the Scriptures, both Old & New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of
God, without error in the original writing, the complete revelation of
His will for the salvation of man and the divine and full authority
for all Christian faith, life and conduct. 2. We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternal existing in three persons, Father, Son & Holy Spirit. 3. We believe
Jesus Christ, without any change in His eternal Deity became man through
conception by the Holy Spirit and virgin birth, that He died on the cross, a
perfect and complete sacrifice, in our stead and for our sins according to
the Scriptures. He arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven
where at the right hand of the Majesty on high, He is now our High Priest
and advocate. 4. We believe that
the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and
during this age to convict of sin and regenerate the sinner upon believing
in Christ, at the time of regeneration baptizing the believer into the one
Body of which Christ is the head; and to indwell, guide, instruct, fill and
empower the believer for godly living and service. 5. We believe that
man was directly created by God in His own image, but fell into sin. The
entire human race is, therefore, lost and only through repentance and faith
in Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, can salvation and
spiritual life be obtained. 6. We believe that
the atoning death of Jesus Christ, and His resurrection, provide the only
ground of justification and salvation for all who believe, and that only
such as receive Jesus Christ by personal faith are born of the Holy Spirit,
and thus, become children of God. 7. We believe in
the personal, premillenial return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that this
blessed hope has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the
believer. 8. We believe in
the bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting
blessedness and joy with the Lord, and the unbeliever to judgment and
everlasting and conscious punishment. 9. We believe that
the Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus
Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in
the Body of Christ, of which He is the Head. 10. We believe in
practicing baptism by immersion upon profession of faith, understanding this
to be the teaching of the New Testament, yet at the same time shall be free
to admit into fellowship any Christian believer of godly walk and
conversation who holds the faith and doctrine as herein set forth. 11. We believe
that the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper should be observed regularly,
preferably on the first Lord’s Day of each month, and shall be presided over
by the Pastor or by any duly authorised person. 12. We believe
that it is the privilege of Christian parents to present their children in
dedication to the Lord before the church, that they may made the subject of
united and solemn prayer. 13. We believe that all the saved should love in such a manner as will honour and glorify and not bring reproach upon their Saviour and Lord and that it is commended of God to remain separate from false doctrines, and sinful pleasures, practices and associations. |
