CHECCS Statement of Faith
We believe that the BIBLE, Old & New Testament, is the Word of God, it is fully inspired without error in the original manuscripts, and is the infallible rule of faith and practice. (2Timothy 3:16; 2Peter 1:20-21)
We believe that there
is one living and true GOD who eternally exists in three persons, the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. Equal in power and glory and that this triune God
created all, upholds all and governs all. (Genesis 1:1: John 10:30, 37-38;
Matthew 28:19; John 14:26)
We believe in the
virgin birth of Jesus Christ our Lord, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in
His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His
personal visible return in power and glory. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke
1:35; Hebrews 4:15, 7:25, 9:12; Colossians 1:14; John 11:25; Acts 1:11;
Revelations 19:11-16)
We believe that men are sinful by nature and choice and are therefore under condemnation. We believe that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit those who repent of their sins and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, an absolute necessity for salvation. (Romans 3:19, 23; John 3:16-19, 5:24; Ephesians 2:8-19; Titus 3:5-6; I Peter 5:8, 1:15; James 3:15-17)
We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Ephesians 4:30, 5:18; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20)
We believe in the personal, visible return of Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing to the righteous, and the suffering of the wicked. (John 5:28-29)
We believe that all
men will know that we are Jesus' disciples by our love for one another. (John
13:34-35)
We believe God, in His
Word, has given parents the responsibility and authority to educate their
children in a godly manner. (Deut. 6:6-7)
We reject the anti-Christian tenets of secular humanism, including the general theory of evolution, one world government, and government mandated sex education, government mandated parenting courses, modern feminist ideology, abortion, and the promotion of homosexuality as an alternate, acceptable life-style. (Rom. 6:12; 8:5; 12:1-2)
We have read and are
in agreement with the CHECCS Statement of Faith.
