Please note, Cornerstone Christian Academy is a ministry of Cornerstone Baptist Church. Teaching at the academy is a uniquely religious work, guided by our statement of faith.

THE BIBLE

We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God. By the Holy Bible we mean the collection of sixty-six books from Genesis to Revelation, which as originally written, is the very Word of God. By inspiration we mean that the books of the Bible were written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally inspired and free from error, as no other writing has been or ever will be inspired. Therefore, the Bible is and shall remain to the end of the age the only complete and final revelation of God to man; the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions shall be tried. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal, literal, and grammatical-historical meaning. 

II Tim. 3:16-17; II Pet. 1:19-21; Heb. 1:1-2; Acts 1:16; Eph: 6:17; Ps. 119:89.

THE GODHEAD

We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections, and while each has a separate and distinct functions, all three are worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence and obedience.

Deut. 6:4; Mt. 28:10-20; II Cor. 13:14; Rev. 1:4-6; Eph. 2:18; Mt. 3:16-17.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the eternal Word manifested in flesh. We believe that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, not having a human father, but that He is truly and totally God and truly and totally man. We believe in His vicarious, substitutionary and redeeming death, Christ receiving in Himself the penalty of man’s sin. We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and that He is now at the right hand of God the Father as our Mediator, Priest and Advocate. We believe in His personal, imminent and pre-millennial return for His redeemed ones.

John 1:1-3, 14; Mt. 1:18-25; I Cor. 15:3-4; Heb. 9:24; I Thess. 4:14-17; Rev. 19:11-16; I Pet. 2:24; Acts 1:9-10; Eph. 1:7; Rom. 8:34.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person; equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature; that He was active in the creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world He restrains the Evil one until God’s purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of sin, of righteousness and of judgment; that He bears witness to the Truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent in the New Birth; that He seals, baptizes, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, indwells, fills and helps the believer.

John 14:16-17; Heb. 9:14; Gen. 1:1-3; II Thess. 2:7;  John 16:8-11; John 3:5-6; Eph. 1:13-14; I Cor. 12:12-13; John 16:13; John 14:26; Rom. 8:9, 14, 16, 26-27; I Pet. 1:2.

THE DEVIL OR SATAN

We believe that Satan was once holy, and enjoyed heavenly honors; but through pride and ambition to be as the Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angels; that he is now the prince of the power of the air, the god of this world; that he is the tempter, the enemy of God, the accuser of the saints, author of false religions, the chief power back of the present apostasy, the lord of the anti-Christ, the author of the powers of darkness; that he is destined to final defeat at the hands of God’s Son, to the judgment in the Lake of Fire, a place prepared for him and his angels.

Is. 14:12-15; Ez. 28:14-17; Rev. 12:9; Eph. 2:2; I Thess. 3:5; I Pet. 5:8; Mt. 13:25, 37-39; II Cor. 11:13-15; 4:4; Job 1:6; I John 4:3; II Thess. 2:8-11; Rev. 20:1-3,10; Mt. 25:41.

THE CREATION

We believe in the Genesis account of creation and that it is to be accepted literally and not allegorically or figuratively; that man was created in God’s image and after His own likeness; that man’s creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species or development through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms; that then all animal and vegetable life was made directly, and God’s established law was that they should bring forth only “after their kind”.

Gen. 1:1; Col. 1:16-17; Gen. 1:26-27; 2:7; 1:11, 24.

THE FALL OF MAN

We believe that man, originally created in the image and after the likeness of God, fell form his high and holy estate by eating the forbidden fruit, and as the consequence of his disobedience, the penalty of death was then and there inflicted, so that his moral nature was not only grievously injured by the fall, but he totally lost all spiritual life, becoming dead in trespasses and sins, and subject to the power of the devil.

Gen. 1:26; 2:17; John 5:40; 6:53; Eph. 2:1-3; Rom.3:9-10, 19, 20-23; I John 3:8.

THE SALVATION OF MAN

We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.

Eph. 2:8-10; John 1:12; Eph. 1:7; I Pet. 1:18-19.

THE SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER

We believe that the person who has once trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior is eternally secured in Him; and that the believer’s standing in Christ is perfect and eternally changeless but that his state during his earthly life is subject to fluctuation.

John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Rom. 8:1, 35-39; I Pet. 1:5; I John 1:6; 2:2.

THE TWO NATURES OF THE BELIEVER

We believe that every saved person possesses two natures, with provision made for victory of the new nature over the old nature through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit; and that all claims to the eradication of the old nature in this life are unscriptural.

Rom. 6:13; 8:12-13; Gal. 5:16-25; Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 3:10; I Pet. 1:14-16; I John 3:5-9
