    Creed / Articles of Faith

      1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing, as fully inspired of God, and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life (Sola Scriptura). 
      2. We believe in one God; Father almighty; the Creator of heaven, earth, what is seen, and what is not seen. 
      3. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, begotten from the Father before time: Jesus is Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not created, of the same essence as the Father. 
      4. We believe that Jesus - 
        • came down from heaven for the sake of mankind and became fully human being born of the Virgin Mary; 
        • suffered, was crucified ,and buried on Good Friday, during Passover.  As the Passover Lamb, his blood cleanses us from Sin and saves us from Death and Hell (which are the consequences of sin); 
        • entered the realm of the departed to minister to those who died before his time; 
        • rose on the third day as evidence that man can overcome Death and have eternal life; 
        • ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father; and 
        • shall return in glory to judge the living and the departed and gather the elect to be ushered into the Kingdom of God. 
      5. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the giver of life, whom we worship and glorify with the Father and the Son, who is of the same essence as the Father and Son, and speaks in the prophets. 
      6. We believe human beings have immortal souls which existed prior to their human birth and will exist after their human death in the realm of the departed (also known as Hades).  After final judgment, the souls of the elect who followed God's commandments will be ushered into the Kingdom of God and the rest will be cast into eternal fire. 
      7. We believe in one Holy Baptism with water as the first step to a renewal of a human being in the Holy Spirit, and that the person baptized is adopted into the fellowship of Disciples of Christ. 
      8. We believe in Holy Sealing of those baptized with water, wherein they will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
      9. We believe that Holy Communion was instituted by the Lord Himself in memory of him and his once brought and eternally valid remission of our sins if we repent and forgive our those who sin against us. 
      10. We believe in the Great Commission of Jesus to his disciples to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all his commandments.  He who believes and is baptized will be saved, he who does not believe will be damned. 
      11. I believe that I am obliged to obey -
        • the 10 commandments; 
        • the 2 Commandments of to Love God and one another.  By this, all will know that we are His Disciples; and 
        • worldly authorities provided no godly laws are thereby transgressed. 
      12. We believe that the family life is important to the practice of Christian faith, as the practice of submission, service, obedience, unity, and love (SOUL) in the home is practice for SOUL to Christ.  Parents are commanded to be fruitful, multiply, become one flesh (which is create children whom are one flesh of the two parents), and raising God-fearing children who honour their parents,  This is key raising future disciples.
