Statement of Faith
I. Priorities
1.The scientific aspects of Creation are important, but are secondary in importance to the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Sovereign, Creator, Redeemer, and Judge.
2.The doctrines of the Creator and the Creation cannot ultimately be divorced from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
II. Basics
1.The Bible is the written Word of God. It is divinely inspired and inerrant throughout. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs.
2. The final guide to the interpretation of Scripture is Scripture itself.
3. The account of origins presented in Genesis is a simple but factual presentation of actual events and therefore provides a reliable framework for scientific research into the question of the origin and history of life, mankind, the Earth, and the universe.
4. The various original life forms (?kinds?), including mankind, were made by direct creative acts of God. The living descendants of any of the original kinds (apart from man) may represent more than one species today, reflecting the genetic potential within the original kind. Only limited biological changes (including mutational deterioration) have occurred naturally within each kind since Creation.
5. The great flood of Genesis was an actual historic event, worldwide (global) in its extent and effect.
6. The special creation of Adam (as one man) and Eve (as one woman), and their subsequent fall into sin, is the basis for the necessity of salvation for mankind.
7. Death, both physical and spiritual, entered into this world subsequent to?and as a direct consequence of?man?s sin.
Theology
10. Those who do not believe in Christ are subject to everlasting conscious punishment, but believers enjoy eternal life with God.
Amen to this! I see no problem here. I know you all think I'm nuts, but this is AWESOME!
