STATEMENT OF FAITH
This consists of biblically founded doctrines and beliefs that the Fairview Christian Love Fellowship – Lord Jesus Ministry, Inc. These are the major doctrines that serve as the foundation of the church’s spiritual and theological principles. Furthermore, these are the bases and guidelines of the church in its vision-mission-objectives and activities:
1. We believe the Holy S
criptures: the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, without error in the original writings, infallible, and God-breathed.
2. We believe in the triune God, eternally existing in Three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfection. We believe that the eternal Son of God became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that He, the Lord Jesus Christ, might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
3. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin, the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man is totally depraved and thus of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. We believe that salvation is a gift, made available through the grace of God, totally apart from meritorious works on the part of sinful men, and must be personally appropriated by faith in Jesus Christ. We believe it is the privilege of believers as new creations in Christ to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation as taught by God’s Word. We believe the Bible clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for flesh.
4. We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of Trinity, though omnipresent from all eternity, took up His abode in the world in a special sense on the day of Pentecost according to the divine promise, dwells in every believer, receiving the fruit and gifts of the Spirit, and by His baptism, unites all acceptable worship and service.
5. We believe in cheerful giving through tithes and offering to which God is able to make all grace abound in all believers at all times.
6. We believe that loving God and neighbors should be the heartbeat of every mission in drawing others into a dynamic relationship to Christ and claiming the authority over the enemy in the Name of Jesus.
7. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people, the saved to eternal life, the new heaven and new earth, and the unsaved to the judgment and everlasting punishment.
