DOCTRINAL STATEMENT |
|
Cowboy's Rest Doctrinal Basis of Faith 1.
We believe in the
Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as inspired by God, inerrant in the original
writings and that it is of supreme and final authority in faith and life. 2.
We believe in One God,
eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.
We believe that Jesus
Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary and is
true God (100%) and true man (100%). 4.
We believe that man was
created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred, not only
physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and
that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those
who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed. 5.
We believe that the
Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a
representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him
are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. 6.
We believe in the
resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension to heaven,
and in His present life as High Priest and Advocate for us. 7.
We believe in
"that blessed hope", the personal, premillennial and imminent
return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 8.
We believe that all who
receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and
thereby become children of God. 9.
We believe in the bodily
resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved
and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost. 10.
We believe in the great
commission which our Lord has given to His Church to evangelize the world,
and that this evangelization is the great mission of the church.
