Statement
of Faith of the EFCA
|
|
The doctrinal
position of The Evangelical Free Church
of America is summarized in our
twelve-article Statement of Faith.
We believe:
-
The Scriptures, both Old and
New Testaments, to be the inspired
Word of God, without error in the
original writings, the complete
revelation of His will for the
salvation of men and the Divine and
final authority for Christian faith
and life.
-
In one God, Creator of all
things, infinitely perfect and
eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
That Jesus Christ is
true God and true man, having been
conceived of the Holy Spirit and born
of the Virgin Mary. He died on the
cross, a sacrifice for our sins
according to the Scriptures. Further,
He arose bodily from the dead,
ascended into heaven, where, at the
right hand of the Majesty on High, He
is now our High Priest and Advocate.
-
That the ministry of the Holy
Spirit is to glorify the
Lord Jesus Christ and, during
this age, to convict men, regenerate
the believing sinner, and indwell,
guide, instruct and empower the
believer for godly living and service.
-
That man was created in the
image of God but fell into sin and is,
therefore, lost, and only through
regeneration by the Holy Spirit can
salvation and spiritual life be
obtained.
-
That the shed blood of
Jesus Christ and His
resurrection provide the only ground
for justification and salvation for
all who believe, and only such as
receive Jesus Christ are
born of the Holy Spirit and, thus
become children of God.
-
That water baptism and the
Lord's Supper are ordinances to be
observed by the Church during the
present age. They are, however, not to
be regarded as means of salvation.
-
That the true Church is
composed of all such persons who
through saving faith in
Jesus Christ have been
regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are
united together in the Body of Christ
of which He is the Head.
-
That only those who are,
thus, members of the true Church shall
be eligible for membership in the
local church.
-
That Jesus Christ is
the Lord and Head of the Church and
that every local church has the right,
under Christ, to decide and govern its
own affairs.
-
In the personal,
premillennial and imminent coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ
and that this "Blessed Hope" has a
vital bearing on the personal life and
service of the believer.
-
In the bodily resurrection of
the dead; of the believer to
everlasting blessedness and joy with
the Lord; of the unbeliever to
judgment and everlasting conscious
punishment.
