The following fundamental truths of the Holy Scriptures are held and taught by those who meet at Bible Truth Chapel:
-
- There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Deut 6:4; Luke 3:22; John 14:16; Matt 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14
- The essential and eternal Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. John 1:1 & 14; Phil 2:6–11
- His virgin birth Matt 1:18; Luke 1:34–35; Isa 7:14
- His sinless life 2 Cor 5:21;1 Peter 2:22
- The reality of His miracles Matt 4:23; Luke 6:17–19;
- His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood Col 1:14, 20;Rom 5:8–9
- His bodily resurrection 1 Cor 15:3–4; Rev 1:17–18
- His ascension to the right hand of the Father Acts 2:23; 1 Peter 3:22
- His personal return in power and in glory Acts 1:11; Phil 2:9–11; 1 Thess 1:10
- The Deity and Personality of the Holy Spirit. Who inspired the writing of the Bible; convicts of sin; regenerates, indwells, and empower those who accept Christ as Savior to live a godly life ad effectually serve the Lord. Ephesians 1:13-14; I Cor 6:19
- The Bible is the only divinely inspired, authentic and authoritative Word of God, and is therefore the Christian’s complete guide on all matters of faith and practice. 2 Tim 3:14-17; Matt 24-25; Ps 119:11, 89
- Salvation from sin’s penalty, secured at the infinite cost of the precious blood of Christ, has been provided for every sinner who will avail himself of it. This salvation Is wholly of grace, and therefore entirely apart from human merit in any shape or form. It is conditioned by simple faith in Christ’s finished work of redemption, which He accomplished on the cross, acceptance of Him as one’s own personal Savior, and confession of Him as the Lord of their life. John 3:14-18; 5:24; 10:9; 14:6; Rom 10:9-10; Eph 2:8, 9; Rom 4:15; I John 5:13
- The eternal security of believers. Each regenerated believer is not only eternally secure in Christ, but, by the Holy Spirit, has been united to the body of Christ, the Church, of which Christ is the Head, and every believer a member. John 10:27-30; 1 Cor 12:12-27; Eph 1:15-23
