​​​​​​​Christian Fellowship Church Statement of Faith​

1. Authority

All authority in spiritual matters is rooted in the Word of God as directed by the Holy Spirit.
2. Confession of Faith

2.1
We believe the Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. (2
Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 1 Thessalonians 2:3.)
2.2

We believe in One God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three Persons, Father Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; John 1:30; Hebrews 1:1-5; 2Corinthians 13:14)
2.3

We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, and arose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, where He is at the right hand of God the Father. He now is our High Priest and Advocate and He will personally and imminently return to receive the Church unto Himself. (Matthew 16:16, Luke 1:31-33).
2.4

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to Glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to convict men, to regenerate the repentant sinner, and to indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service. (John 14:16,17,26; 15:26; 16:7-14).
2.5

We believe that Satan is a real and supernatural personality, an enemy of God and all good (Matthew 4:1-11); that he was cast out of heaven with his angels (Isaiah 14:12-17) and his final doom is hell (Revelations 20:7-10); he is to be resisted by the believers on the basis of victory procured by Christ on the cross (James 4:7, Eph.2: 6),
2.6

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but by sin fell from grace, and although he retains his dignity as in the image of God, he is nonetheless lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
(Genises1: 26 & 27; Acts1: 19; John1: 12)
2.7

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only those who receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God. (John3: 3,8;
Rom. 3:24; Eph.1: 7: 1 John 3:2; 1Peter 1:4).
2.8

We believe that we have been called with a holy calling to live a life of separation from sin and the world. (Eph.1: 4; 1Peter1: 15; Col. 1:22, In. 17:14; Rom. 12:2).

2.9

We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by members of this church. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation. (Mat.28: 19; Acts 2:38; Gal 3:27).
2.10

We believe that the True Church is composed of persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ who is the head of the church. Only those who are saved by faith through
Jesus Christ’s work on the cross shall be eligible for membership. (Math.16: 18; Eph.l: 23; 17:30; Gal. 3:26; Acts 2.)
2.11

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and the Head of the Church, and that every local church has the responsibility to discern the will of God. (Eph. 1: 22-23, 4:15-16, Col 1:18).
2.12

We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this Blessed Hope has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer and Mission of the Church. (l Jn 3:2-3, Titus 2:2-3.)
2.13

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in hell. (lCor15:12-56, Rev 20:11-15)
2.14

We believe the institution of marriage is the union of one man and one woman for a lifetime to the exclusion of all others. For believers, only death, adultery or desertion by an unbelieving spouse can dissolve the marriage. (Mat.19:1-9; 1 Cor.7.)
2.15

We believe in the Biblical teaching of peace, love, and non-resistance as Christ himself practiced this in life, and as we learn it from the teachings of Christ and the apostles. (Math. 5:38-48; Math. 26:47-56; Luke 6:27-38; John 18:33-37; Rom. 12:17; lCor.12;
IPeter 3:9).
2.16

We believe in the practice of church discipline according to New Testament teaching. (Math, 18:15-18; 1 Cor.5:5; 2Cor. 6:17; Titus 3: 10; Gal. 6:1).
2.17

We believe in avoidance of the oath. (Math.5:33-37).
2.18

We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well being of our fellow men. His conduct should be blameless before the world and he should be a faithful steward of his possessions, seeking to realize for himself and others the full
stature of maturity in Christ. (1Cor.10:23-31; 6:19-20; 2Cor. 6;14-18; 2 Peter 3:14; 1 Peter 2:9-20).
2.19

We believe in ‘one man for one woman’ and ‘a man with a man or woman with a woman’ is an abomination to the Lord. Rom. 1:26,27.Lev. 18:22,24. 1 Cor. 6:9,10. Based on scripture the Christian Fellowship Church reserves the right to refuse, or
terminate a person from any and all positions, who, either believe homosexuality is right, practice homosexuality, or any other alternative life style.
