TLC Ministries - Statements of Faith

 

My statement of Faiths:

Bibliology:  By faith I believe that we are to do our best to study daily the Word of God so that we learn to rightly divide the word of truth.  2 Timothy 2:15. ESV

Theology:  By faith I believe in the Oneness of God, yet in the plurality of His nature.  Genesis 1:26 and Romans 1:19-20.  ESV

      Anthropology:   By faith I believe in the Creation of God. In six days, He created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, including man.  Genesis chapter 1. ESV Man and woman are created.  Genesis chapter 2. Eve deceived by the serpent fell and both Adam and Eve are put out of the Garden of Eden.  Genesis chapter 3. ESV

    Hamartiology:  By faith I believe Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden and as consequences of their sin, they were put out of the Garden of Eden, Genesis chapter 3.  ESV The consequences of sin continued as Cain rose up and killed Abel.  And further along, Lamech also killed a young man for wounding him, Genesis chapter 4. ESV

Soteriology: By faith I believe in the righteousness of God apart from the law.  It is through the righteousness of Jesus Christ for all who believe.  That we are justified by His grace and redeemed.  That He was a propitiation by His blood received by faith.  We were passed over former sins.  God sanctifies the church, having cleansed her by washing her with the water of the Word. Jesus is the Word of God, the substitutionary atonement, and the Holy Spirit Baptizer-leading us to sanctification. Romans 3:21-26 and Ephesians 5:26. ESV 

Ecclesiology: By faith I believe people meet with the Church to be discipled.  The purpose of the Church is to take a babe in Christ and nurture them in love all the way to maturity so that each one can become a disciple of the way.  ESV

Pneumatology: By faith I believe that we are to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh so that we receive the promise of eternal life.  Romans 8:5-6.  ESV 

Christology:  By faith I believe that Jesus Christ is both Messiah and God.  Revelation 19:13, John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 1:24, John 1:1.  ESV
