Christian Church of Eastern Pa
Statement of Faith
We Believe
that the Bible is God's Holy Word, verbally and fully inspired in the original text,
and that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
We Believe
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and Holy Spirit.
We Believe
in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power.
We Believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the
affairs of men, that He hears and answers all prayer,
and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Christ.
We Believe
in Jesus Christ, the divine, eternal and only begotten Son of God.
We Believe that in His earthly life He was conceived of the
Holy Spirit, born of the virgin and lived a sinless life.
We Believe in His vicarious and atoning death for the sins of the world.
We Believe in His bodily resurrection from the dead,
His ascension to the right hand of the Father
to make intercession for the saints, and
in His personal, visible return to the world in power and glory.
We Believe
in the Holy Spirit, in His personality and deity, that He was sent forth from the Father
to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.
We Believe that He is come to regenerate, indwell,
sanctify, instruct and comfort the saints.
We Believe
that all men are, by nature and by choice, sinners, destitute of all power to save themselves.
We believe, therefore, that the only means of salvation of sinful men is the
regenerating work of the Holy Spirit on the basis of the atoning work of Christ
through personal faith in Christ.
We believe in the resurrection of all men, those that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation.
We believe
that the Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest gift of God the Father
and His Holy Spirit, and should be the primary message of the Christian church,
taking precedence over all differences, whether they be theological,
denominational, ideological, or physical in nature.
We believe
in the Church --- the living spiritual body of which Jesus Christ is the Head and of
which all regenerated persons are members.
We believe that the Lord laid upon the Church
the task of persuading a lost and sinful
world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone
Him as Lord and Master in their lives.
We believe
in all gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We believe
it is the primary duty of all Christians to serve as evangelists, and to minister to others
according to the gifts they have received of the Holy Spirit.
