Statement of Faith | For JC Church

At For JC Church, we believe:

The divine inspiration and the authority of Holy Scripture as given in the 66 books of the Bible (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
The one and only living God eternally co-existent in three Persons in unity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14)
The inherent corruptness of man through the Fall; the necessity for repentance and regeneration by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9)
The virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, triumphant resurrection, ascension and abiding intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 7:25)
Justification and sanctification of the believer through the finished work of Christ (Rom. 4:5)
The Christian practices of Baptism in water by immersion, the Lord’s Supper, and Holy Marriage (Matt. 28:19; 1Cor. 11; Heb. 13:4)
The security of the believer as they abide in Christ (John 15)
The Baptism with the Holy Spirit for believers and the subsequent gifts of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5; 1 Cor 12:8-10, 28)
Church leadership and ministry by those spiritually gifted and called to do so (Eph. 4:11-12)
The personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the everlasting fellowship with Christ of all the redeemed (Matt. 25:31)
The judgment and eternal punishment of those who reject God’s love manifested in the sacrifice of His only Son upon the cross for their salvation (Matt. 25:46; Rom. 6:23; Rev.20:11-15)
The new heavens and new earth (2Pet.3:13; Rev.21:22-26)
