Statement of Faith |
|
| |
Evangelical
Christians accept the revelation of the triune God given
in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess
the historic faith of the gospel therein set forth. The
African and Caribbean Evangelical Alliance here assert
doctrines, which it regards as crucial to the understanding
of the faith, and which should be professed in mutual
love, practical Christian service and evangelistic concern:
We believe in :
|
The Holy Scriptures
as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible,
entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority
in all matters of faith and conduct. |
|
|
One God, eternally
existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. |
|
|
Our Lord Jesus
Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth,
His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His
vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection,
His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His personal
return in power and glory. |
|
The salvation
of the lost and sinful man through the shed blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works
and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. |
|
|
The Holy Spirit,
by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live
a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus
Christ. |
|
|
The Unity of the
Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body
of Christ. |
|
The Resurrection
of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved
unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost
unto the resurrection of damnation. |
