Our Core Beliefs
LIVING FAITH CHURCH’S CORE BELIEFS summarize our beliefs as a church. Our theology is not innovative. Anyone familiar with historic Christian doctrine will find that these statements fall in the center of evangelical theology ("evangelical" means theology derived from the evangel, or the Gospel; in other words, it’s biblical theology rather than speculative theology or theology rooted in tradition). We try not to be dogmatic about matters on which Bible-based believers have held divergent views. Our core beliefs are centered in Christ and His message as found in and supported by the clearest passages of Scripture.
It is important not to confuse core beliefs with core values. Core beliefs determine what you do. Core values determine how you do it.
2 John 1:9 (NIV)
"Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."
- We believe in one God- the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary (full and complete and not limited in any respect) inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
- We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
- We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
- We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
- We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
- We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
