VII. 	Doctrinal Statement

According to the Constitution and By-Laws of the International Association of Bible Colleges & Seminaries, the following doctrinal standard is to be subscribed to annually by each member school through the signature of an official Board of Trustees, Directors, or Regents.

TENETS OF FAITH

		A. 	We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

		B. 	We believe the Bible to be the inspired and one infallible, authoritative Word of God.

		C. 	We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His Personal and literal Second Coming in power.

		D. 	We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and fell, and that, because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for salvation.

		E. 	We believe that salvation is by grace through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

		F. 	We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life and by whom the Church is empowered to carry out Christ’s Great Commission.

		G. 	We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved to the resurrection of life, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
