BsideU for Life Statment of Faith

I believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Mt. 5:16,45; 6:1, 4,8,9, James 1:17, John 1:1; 14:9, Gen 1:2, John 4:24; 14:16-20; 2 Peter 1:21)

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible. (Gen. 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Heb. 11:3)

I believe in Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son, my one and only Savior (John 1:14; 1 John 4:9; John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18) Who was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary (Mt. 21:11; John 19:19; John 1:14; Romans 5:15-17; Col 2:9; 1 John1:1 Mt. 1:18; Luke 1:26-28) Who suffered and was crucified under Pontius Pilate (Lk. 23:1-46) Who died and was buried, and who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day (Luke 23:44-24:8; John 20:24-29; 1 Cor. 15:3-8) Who ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father (Lk. 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Col 3:1) and Who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead. (Mt. 24:36-42; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:10-11; 10:39-42; 1 Peter 4:5)

I believe in the Holy Spirit Who is an active and operative part of the triune God (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27) Who indwells every Christian. (1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19; 2 Tim. 1:14)

I believe in the Bible-God's Holy Word, Scripture. I believe God inspired the autographs (original writings) of the Scripture and those autographs were consequently without error. (Mark 12:36; John 14:26, 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Cor. 2:2-13; 2 Tim 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

I accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. (Isaiah 40:8; Mt 5:18, 24:35; Romans 15:4; Heb. 4:12)

I believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequentlylost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)

I believe the Bible teaches that salvation-the forgiveness of sins-is only by grace through the blood of Jesus. (Mt. 26:28; Romans 5:9; Eph 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7)

I believe the Bible teaches that one receives God's grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, andconfessing Christ, and one who follows Christ responds in obedience through baptism. (Rom. 5:1-2; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19, 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9; Mt. 10:32; Rom. 10:9; Phil 2:11; 1 John 4:15; Acts 2:38; Rom 6:1-7; Gal. 3:27; Ephesians 2:8-9; Col. 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21)

I believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere. (Mt. 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47)

I believe the Bible teaches that God established marriage in the beginning as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman; that he has reserved sexual intimacy as an expression of love and commitment between married couples; and that any intimate expression of sexuality outside of Biblical marriage is sin. (Genesis 2:23-25; Exodus 20:14, 17, 22:19; Leviticus 18:1-20, 22-23; 20:11-21; Matthew 19:4-6, 9; Romans 1:18-31; I Corinthians 6:9-10, 15-20; I Timothy 1:8-11; Jude 7

I believe the Bible teaches that God is the Creator and Sustainer of human life; that God creates each person in His image; and that life is therefore sacred, from conception to natural death. We believe that God creates each person as male or female; that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the “image of God” in humankind; and that each person’s biological gender is an intrinsic, immutable aspect of his or her nature and identity. (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:7, 21-22; Psalm 139:13-18)
