Statement of Faith
Section 1
- The scientific aspects of creation are important, but are secondary in importance to the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Sovereign, Creator, Redeemer and Judge.
Section 2
(a) The 66 books of the Bible are the written Word of God. The Bible is divinely inspired and inerrant throughout and its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs. It is the supreme authority in everything it teaches. Its authority is not limited to spiritual, religious or redemptive themes, but includes its assertions in such fields as history and science.
- The account of origins presented in Genesis is a simple, but factual, presentation of actual events, and therefore provides a reliable framework for scientific research into the question of the origin and history of life, mankind, the Earth and the universe.
- The various original life forms (kinds), including mankind, were made by direct creative acts of God. The living descendants of any of the original kinds (apart from man) may represent more than one species today, reflecting the genetic potential within the original kind. Only limited biological changes (including mutational deterioration) have occurred naturally within each kind since Creation.
- The great Flood of Genesis was an actual historic event, worldwide (global) in its extent and effect.
- The special creation of Adam (the first man) and Eve (the first woman), and their subsequent fall into sin, is the basis for the necessity of salvation for mankind.
- Death (both physical and spiritual) and bloodshed entered into this world subsequent to and as a direct consequence of man’s sin.
Section 3
- The Godhead is triune: one God, three Persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- All mankind are sinners, inherently from Adam and individually (by choice) and are therefore subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
- Freedom from the penalty and power of sin is available to man only through the sacrificial death and shed blood of Jesus Christ, and His complete and bodily Resurrection from the dead.
- Salvation is a gift received by faith alone in Christ alone and expressed in the individual’s repentance, recognition of the death of Christ as full payment for sin, and acceptance of the risen Christ as Saviour, Lord and God.
- Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
(i) Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, ascended to Heaven, and is currently seated at the right hand of God the Father, and shall return in person to this Earth as Judge of the living and the dead.
(j) Satan is the personal spiritual
adversary of both God and man.
Section 4
The following are held by CreationConversations.ning.com to be either consistent with Scripture or implied by Scripture.
(a) Scripture teaches a recent origin for man and the whole creation, from creation to Christ being approximately 4,000 years.
- The days in Genesis do not correspond to geologic ages, but are 6 consecutive, 24-hour days of Creation.
- The Genesis Flood was a significant geological and global event.
(f) By definition, no apparent,
perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and
chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record.
Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject
to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all
information.
