CHRISTIAN LIFE CHURCH, 207 BROAD STREET, WAVERLY, NY
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Statement of Faith:
. We believe the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God, without
any error, the all-sufficient authority in matters of faith,
doctrine, and Christian living.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is true
God and man. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose
bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at
the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and
Advocate.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell
into sin and is, therefore, lost. Only through regeneration by
the work of the Holy Spirit can man’s salvation and spiritual
life be obtained.
5. We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely
apart from man’s works, and is possessed by any and all who
have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord
and Savior.
6. We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return
of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His second coming inspires
believers for dynamic and zealous life and service for Him
while waiting for His return.
7. We believe in baptism by full immersion and that this symbolizes Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. Being baptized is a public declaration of faith in Christ’s atoning work
and identifying with Him.
8. We believe in the Lord’s Table (Communion) as a remembrance of the cost of our sin and Christ’s propitiation. In taking communion, we remember what He did to bring us
into right relationship with the Father and celebrate the victory, looking forward to His return.
9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting
blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting
punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell.
10. We believe in The Holy Spirit empowering and members should
pursue and use His gifts for the edifying of the Body of Christ.
