Fellsmere Historical Church: Articles of Faith
We believe in the Old and New Testament as divinely inspired by God, inerrant in the original writing and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
The Authority of Scripture
In One God, Three Persons
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
Jesus is True God and True Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with sinful natures and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
We are Made in the Image of God
In the Forgiveness of Sins
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
In Christ’s Resurrection Reign
We Must Be Born of the Spirit
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith and all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, thereby becoming children of God.
Christ Will Come Again
We believe in the personal and bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ, that his second coming might be at any time.
