Faith Bible Fellowship

1 Timothy 4:16

“Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you."

What we believe

Every doctrinal statement is but a fallible human attempt to summarize and systematize the riches of an infallible divine revelation. Nevertheless, the Elders of Faith Bible Fellowship believe that it is essential to set forth a Doctrinal Statement which expresses the position of the church with regard to major Biblical doctrines and which specifies our theological distinctives.

The FBF Essentials of the Christian Faith are those doctrines that we hold as non-negotiable. The FBF Doctrinal Statement provides the theological foundation for all of the ministries of FBF.

Essentials of Christian Faith

The Scripture	The Bible is inspired by God, through the work of the Holy Spirit. It is inerrant in its original writings and is the final authority for God’s people today.
Salvation	Salvation is by God’s grace alone through personal faith in Jesus Christ alone.
The Trinity	God is One, but exists as three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are eternally distinct yet inseparable. God is one in nature and essence, and three in personality and identity.
The Incarnation	Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, fully human and fully divine--the very God in human flesh. He was not a human-divine hybrid, but is one person with two natures.
The Sinfulness of Man	All human beings are born with a sinful nature and are essentially and unchangeably wicked apart from the divine grace of God. As such, men are utterly unable to save themselves.
Christ’s Substitutionary Atonement	Jesus Christ was crucified, enduring punishment and death on the cross, as an acceptable substitutionary sacrifice for sin. Christ’s righteousness is credited to the believer because the punishment for the believer’s sin was executed on Christ.
The Resurrection	Jesus Christ rose physically on the third day after his death, ministered bodily on earth for a period of 40 days, ascended into heaven and now lives with the Father, granting life to all who believe in him through the work of the Holy Spirit.
God’s Redemptive Plan	From the creation of the world and all that is in it, to the end of this age when Christ returns to earth bodily and visibly to establish his eternal kingdom, God has been actively and sovereignty working to accomplish his eternal purposes of redeeming people unto himself.
