STATEMENT OF FAITH
For
CASA/MCCF
We believe the Scriptures to be the verbally inspired Word of God and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and rule of life. (II Timothy 3:16, 17).
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, John 10:30, John 4:24).
We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35); His shed blood for atonement (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14); His bodily resurrection (John 11:25); His ascension (Acts 1:11); His advocacy (I Timothy 2:5, I John 2:1); and His personal return to earth to establish His kingdom (John 14:3, Revelation 11:15).
We believe that God the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates the sinner, secures, assures, indwells, teaches and enables the believer to live a Godly life (John 16:8, John 3:5, Ephesians 5:16, Romans 8:14).
We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and need spiritual rebirth through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23, John 3:3). We believe that men are justified on the grounds of repentance and faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, apart from good works (Mark 1:15, Acts 13:39, Ephesians 2:8-9).
