Verse of the Day
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers,
which refused to hear my words; and they went after other
gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of
Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their
fathers.Jeremiah 11:10/KJV |

What We Believe

Statement of
Faith &

Calvary Christian
Statement of Faith:
We believe the Bible to be given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, infallible
and God’s revealed Word to man.
We believe that Scripture teaches that there is
only one true and living God who has chosen to reveal Himself as Father,
Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10, 11; Matt. 28:19; Luke
3:22).
We believe that man is a sinful being in need of
redemption (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Psalm 51:3; Ecc. 7:29; John 6:44; Rom. 5:12-21; I
Cor. 2:14).
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ,
that He is the Son of God and the son of man, that He came to save man
from condemnation of sin by offering His blood as atonement and making
it available to all who exercise faith in Him (Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:31,
35; John 3:16; I Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21).
We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful
man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Luke 7:50, 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; I Cor. 1:18; 2 Cor. 2:15; Eph. 2:8,
9; 2 Tim. 1:9; Tit. 2:11, 3:5-7).
We believe the Scriptures ascribe to the Holy
Spirit the acts and attributes of an intelligent being, and that the
works of God such as creation, inspiration, giving of life, and
sanctification are also ascribed to the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:2; Job 33:4;
Mark 3:29; John 16:8, 13; Acts 7:51, 10:19, 13:2, 13:4, 16:6; I Cor.
2:11, 6:11, 12; Eph. 4:30; I Pet. 3:18; 2 Pet. 1:21).
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy
Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life
(Rom. 8:5; Phil. 2:12, 13; I Thess. 4:3; I John 2:29).
We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is
given to believers who ask for it (Joel 2:28; Acts
2:4).
We believe that all mankind is subject to the death
of the body as a result of original sin. The soul and spirit do not
die, but immediately after death enter into a conscious state of
happiness or misery according to the character here possessed by
rejection or acceptance of the Savior (Ecc. 12:7; Rom. 5:12; Phil.
1:23).
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the
saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost without
Christ to everlasting damnation (Matt. 24:31-46; Acts. 24:15; Rev.
22:11).
We believe in the personal, imminent return of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; I Thess. 4:13-18).
We
believe the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for
the human body in answer to believing prayer (Isa. 53:4, 5; James 5:14,
15; I Pet. 2:24).
