What
we believe
Permission requested to use information from www.stonecroft.org
We Believe:
- the supernatural and plenary (total, full, complete)
inspiration of the Scriptures— that they are inerrant and
that their teachings and authority are absolute, supreme, and
final;
- the Trinity of the Godhead—God, the Father;
God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit;
- the personality of God; the personality and deity
of Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ and God are one; Jesus Christ is
God incarnate in the flesh), begotten of the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, very God and very Man; the personality of
the Holy Spirit;
- the resurrection of Jesus Christ—that His
body was raised from the dead, according to the Scriptures and
that He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God
as the believer’s Advocate;
- the sinfulness of man—that all human beings
are born with a sinful nature, are totally depraved, and need
a Savior from sin;
- the atonement—that Jesus Christ became
the sinner’s sacrifice before God when He shed His blood
and died as the propitiation (payment) for the sins of the whole
world;
- the necessity of the new birth—salvation
is by grace, through faith, and not of works. Saving faith will
maintain good works in the life of the believer;
- the literal resurrection of the body—both
of the just and the unjust;
- the everlasting blessedness of the saved and
the everlasting punishment of the lost;
- the evangelization of the world—the supreme
mission of God’s people in this age is to preach the Gospel
to every person;
- the second coming of Christ, according to the
Scriptures.
