Statements
and Doctrines of Grace Covenant Church
This
is the following about what we
believe:
-
ABOUT
THE BIBLE
We
believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments,
is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative
Word of God. It is the supreme source of truth
for Christian faith and living.
-
ABOUT
GOD
We
believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely
perfect and eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
ABOUT
JESUS CHRIST
We
believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true
man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross,
the complete and final sacrifice for our sins
according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose
bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where,
at God's right hand, He intercedes for His people
and rules as Lord over all.
-
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
We
believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is
to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this
age to convict the world of sin. He also regenerates
the believing sinner, indwells, guides, instructs,
and empowers us for godly living and sacrifice.
-
ABOUT
MAN
We
believe that the man was created in the image
of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost,
and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit
can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
-
ABOUT
SALVATION
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 such
as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the
Holy Spirit and thus become children of God.
-
ABOUT
FUTURE EVENTS
We
believe in visible, personal, glorious, imminent
return of Jesus Christ, bodily resurrection of
the dead, the rapture of the church, the judgment
of the just and the unjust and the fulfillment
of Christ's Kingdom in the new heavens and the
new earth. Then shall the eager expectation of
creation be fulfilled and the whole earth shall
proclaim the glory of God who makes all things
new.
-
ABOUT
THE CHURCH
We
believe that the true Church is composed of all
such persons who through saving faith in Jesus
Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit
and are united together in the body of Christ.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the
Church, and that every local church has the right
under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.
-
ABOUT
ORDINANCES
We
believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper
are ordinances to be observed by the Church during
the present age. They are, however, not to be
regarded as means of salvation.
