Our
Statement of
Faith
This
is
what we
at Christians & BDSM believe:
1.
There is one God. He exists in three persons-the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14).
2.
God created man in His image (Genesis 1:26,
5:1). Man fell from grace when he succumbed to temptation from
Satan and sinned against God (Genesis 3:1-29) God promised to send
a Savior who would be atonement for our sins (Genesis 3:16).
3.
God the Son came down from Heaven to Earth as a
man born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke
1:26-38). This is Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:18).
4.
Jesus Christ was crucified as the atonement for man's sins, died and
was buried
(Matthew 27:27-54). He rose from the dead three days later and
then
ascended into Heaven at Pentecost (Matthew 28, Mark 16, 1Corinthians
15, Romans
1:4).
5.
Jesus Christ will return one day to gather those who have accepted Him
as their Lord and Savior (Acts 1:10) and then to reign on Earth for
1,000 years (Revelations 20:1-6, 2Timothy 2:11)
6.
God gave man a written record (through Godly men) of His dealings with
man. This is the Bible. The Bible is verbally inspired as
written; therefore it is inerrant and infallible (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2
Peter 1:21, Matthew
5:18, 1 Corinthians 2:13).
7.
All men inherit a sinful nature and are in need of salvation (Romans
3:9-19, Ephesians 2:1-3). God provides
salvation through the offering of His Son on the cross at Calvary,
allowing His blood to be shed to atone for our sins (Romans 3:25,
Hebrews 9:22).
8.
We are saved and justified when we recognize ourselves as sinners, and
put our trust in Christ as the Son of God and His finished work on the
cross of
Calvary. Salvation is by grace through faith (Romans 3:24, 4:5;
Ephesians 2:8-9).
9.
Once saved, we cannot be lost; we are eternally secure in Christ (John
3:16,10:27-29; Philippians 1:6; Romans 8:38-39).
10.
The Bible teaches the eternal blessedness of the
saved (John 4:14, 5:24; Ephesians
2:7). It also teaches the eternal punishment of the lost (John 5:28-29;
Revelation
20:10, 15; Matthew 25:46). All believers should be baptized by
immersion
as an act of obedience, but not for securing their salvation (Acts
2:41,
19:4-5; Matthew 28:19-20). We should regularly participate at the
Lord's
table (1 Corinthians 11:23-32). The grace of God teaches us to
"live
soberly, righteously, and godly" (Titus 2:11-13).
