Our Beliefs
These truths form the foundation of what we believe. The genuine Christian
life, as practiced and taught at Grace
Bible Church,
is always in agreement with these basic, yet profound, realities.
We believe:
The Bible, as originally given by God, is divinely inspired, infallible,
entirely trustworthy, and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and
practice;
There
is one God, eternally existent in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ was fully God, yet fully man, born of a virgin, and lived a
sinless life, performing many miracles;
We
acknowledge His substitutionary death, resurrection,
ascension and individual mediation for us, and eagerly await His personal
return in power and glory;
Man
is sinful and separated from God, and a reunion, called salvation, is possible
only by faith in Jesus Christ, apart from works, through the regeneration of
the Holy Spirit;
The
Holy Spirit indwells the believer and enables us to live in obedience to the
Scriptures, to live a holy life, and to witness and work for the Lord Jesus
Christ;
The
Holy Spirit baptizes all true believers into the church, that is the Body of Christ;
Jesus
Christ will return to the earth a second time to set up and establish His
kingdom forever. Prior to this great event, He will return in the air to rapture
all who have received Him as Lord and Savior;
Everyone
will be resurrected, the saved to everlasting life, the unsaved to everlasting
torment.
