Statement of Missionary Spencer Smith |
|
The
Scriptures |
|
We
believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to
be the Bible, "as it is in truth, the Word of God
"
(I Thessalonians 2:13). We believe in verbal, plenary inspiration
in the original writings, and God's preservation of His pure
words to every generation (II Timothy 3:16, Psalms 12:6-8). We
believe that the Scriptures are inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed.
This Bible is preserved for the English speaking world without
error in the King James Version. We believe the King James Bible
to be inerrant. The Bible is our sole and final authority for
faith and practice. |
|
The
Godhead |
|
We
believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three 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
perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4; II Corinthians 13:14). We believe
that God created the entire universe in six literal, twenty-four-hour
days (Genesis 1:1-27).
The Person and Work of Christ. We believe that the Lord Jesus
Christ, 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 might reveal God and redeem
sinful men (John 1:1-2, 14; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; 7:14; Philippians
2:5-8; Galatians 4:4-5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ
accomplished our redemption through His finished work on the
cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice;
and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical
resurrection from the dead (Romans 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians
1:7; I Peter 1:3-5).We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was
raised bodily and that He ascended to Heaven and is now exalted
at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills
the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts
1:9-10; Hebrews 9:24, 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2). |
|
The
Person and Work of the Holy Spirit |
|
We
believe that the Holy Spirit is the Person who reproves the world
of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the
Supernatural Agent in regeneration, indwelling all believers
and sealing them unto the day of redemption (John 16:8-11; II
Corinthians 3:6; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13-14). We believe that
the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues
and the gift of healing, were temporary. We believe that speaking
in tongues was never the common or necessary sign of the baptism
or filling of the Holy Spirit and that ultimate deliverance of
the body from sickness or death awaits the consummation of our
salvation in the resurrection, though God frequently chooses
to answer the prayer of believers for physical healing. (II Corinthians
12:12; I Corinthians 13:8; Hebrews 2:3-4; Mark 16:17-20; I Corinthians
1:22, 14:21-22). |
|
Satan |
|
We
believe in the reality of the person of Satan and that he and
the fallen angels wage a spiritual warfare against the plan and
purposes of God (John 13:2; Acts 5:3; Ephesians 6:11-12). We
believe that Satan is a created angelic being who rebelled and
who tempted man to join him in rebellion against God (Isaiah
14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:11-19; Genesis 3:1-5). We believe his power
is supernatural, yet limited; and that he cannot act without
the permission of God (Job 1:6-12; I John 4:4). Satan's eternal
end is everlasting torment in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10). |
|
Man |
|
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 therefore man is totally depraved,
and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition
(Genesis 1:26- 27; Romans 3:22-23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12). The
sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created
man in His own image and is mindful of him, and in that Christ
died for man; therefore every individual possesses dignity and
is worthy of respect and Christian love. (Psalm 8:4-9; Colossians
3:9-11). We believe that the only marriage recognized by Scripture
is the joining of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Romans
7:2; 1 Corinthians 7:10; Ephesians 5:22-23) We believe that God
expressly forbids intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside
of a marriage between one man and one woman. We believe that
any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality,
incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are perversions
of God's intended purposes and therefore, sin. We believe that
God forbids any attempt to alter one's God-given gender identity
by any means, including surgery or appearance. (Genesis 2:24;
Genesis 19:5, 13; Genesis 26:8-9; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29;
1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4) |
|
The
Way of Salvation |
|
We
believe that the clear message of salvation is "repentance
toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts
20:21). We believe that salvation is "by grace" plus
nothing minus nothing. We believe that Jesus Christ died for
every man, and that each individual chooses to accept or reject
the grace of God (Hebrews 2:9; I John 2:2). We believe that men
are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before
God only through the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 2:8-10; John 1:12; I Peter 1:18-19) We believe that
all the redeemed, once saved are kept by God's power and are
thus secure in Christ forever. We believe that eternal life is
the present possession of every believer (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30;
Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Corinthians 1:4-8; I Peter 1:4-5; Jude 1,
2). |
|
The
Return of Christ |
|
We
believe the "Blessed Hope" of our Lord's return is
literal, personal, visible, imminent, premillennial, and pretribulational.
Believers will be caught up to be with the Lord prior to the
seven years of tribulation, and at the end of the tribulation
Christ will return with His saints to establish His thousand-year
reign on the earth (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; I Thessalonians
1:10; Revelation 3:10; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:11-16,
20:1-6; Psalm 89:3-4). Continued: https://www.missionaryspencersmith.com/doctrinal-statement |
