1 2 Timothy 3:-17 New International Version (NIV) Statement of Faith 1. Holy Scripture Bible All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 1 John 5:7-8 King James Version (KJV) 2. Eternal Godhead 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Romans 5:12-13 New International Version (NIV) 3. Fall of Man 12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned 13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone s account where there is no law. John 3: New International Version (NIV). Redemption For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV) 5. Salvation Through Grace 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 1 John 1:9 New International Version (NIV) 6. Repentance 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Statement of Faith Page 1 of 5

2 John 1:12-13 New International Version (NIV) 7. Acceptance 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband s will, but born of God. Luke :1-13 New International Version (NIV) 8. Prayer and Fasting One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples. Matthew :2 New International Version (NIV) 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 9. Praise and Worship Psalm 100 New International Version (NIV) 1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 10. New Birth and New Life in Christ John 3:3 New International Version (NIV) 3 Jesus replied, Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. Matthew 3: New International Version (NIV). Water Baptism I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Romans 6: New International Version (NIV) We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

3 12. Lord s Supper 1 Corinthians :23-29 New International Version (NIV) 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 2 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me. 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord s death until he comes. 27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. Matthew 28:19-20 New International Version (NIV) 13. Great Commission 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Acts 2:3- New International Version (NIV) 1. Baptism of the Holy Spirit 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. 15. Gifts of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 12:-6 New International Version (NIV) There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV). Fruit of the Holy Spirit 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

4 James 5:1-15 New International Version (NIV) 17. Divine Healing 1 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Isaiah 53:-5 New International Version (NIV) Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Malachi 3:10 New International Version (NIV) 18. Tithes and Offerings 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the LORD Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. John 1:2 New International Version (NIV) 19. Heaven 2 My Father s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 20. Second Coming of Christ and End Times 1 Thessalonians :-17 New International Version (NIV) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Genesis 2:23-2 New International Version (NIV) 21. Marriage Bond One Man and One Woman 23 The man said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man. 2 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

5 Ephesians :-13 New International Version (NIV) 22. Five Fold Ministries So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Hebrews 10:2-25 New International Version (NIV) 23. Fellowship 2 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
