Freedom Church Core Beliefs

Bible

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.

• That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written
• That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct · 2 Timothy 3:16

God

We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

• In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory
• In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
• In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit

• Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
• Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
• Who indwells believers at conversion into the Body of Christ
• Who baptizes believers with His Spirit, bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills, and fills those yielded to Him

Mankind

We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God

• That by the sin of disobedience he fell from that state
• That all his posterity inherited a bent toward sin
• That all sons of Adam have sinned and are therefore condemned to physical and spiritual death (Hell)

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by the grace of God

• That through the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a substitutionary death in our place
• That justification is by faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
• That man must be born again by the infilling and regeneration of The Holy Spirit
• That salvation is a relationship with God through faith in Christ as we follow His Word by the power of The Holy Spirit
