Statement of Faith
It was through the word of God that I came to my conversion experience. I believe that the Scriptures is(are) the divinely inspired word of God. The teaching of the scriptures is what led me to salvation. The Scripture indicate that “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.” This text along with John 3:16 are the foundation of my Baptist faith. I believe and whole heartily accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I believe that Jesus Christ was crucified for the sins of humanity. I believe the scripture teaches that “all of sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God” (Romans 3:23). I believe the scripture teaches that the “wages of …show more content…

I believe the scriptures as the word of God, is not only divinely inspired, but also infallible. I believe the bible is God’s word espousing the principles by which God will judge us. I believe, the word of God teaches about the final judgement, the last day, and Christ return. I believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son of the living God and the Holy Spirit. I believe that God is the Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in the biblical teaching that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity. I also believe that the life of Christ is an offering from scripture of the love of God and is a guide toward eternal life. The life of Christ declared in scripture is the example that is set forth for the believer to follow. I believe the Church is the visible body of Christ, a community of baptized believers, committed to a covenant relationship with one another and with the Godhead. And, I believe the church uses as …show more content…

It was also the teaching ministry of the pastor that fortified my spirituality. In addition to those things, as a young adult I began reading the word of God more. It became a part of my daily life. It was also as a young adult that I experience the move of the Holy Spirit. As stated, I was baptized in 1980, at the age of twelve. I would not experience the move of the Holy Spirit until about ten years later. During this time, I had moved out on my own, I was also attending college and working. I had experienced several challenges during this time. I recall driving along the interstate listening to Douglas Miller’s “My Soul is Anchored” when I felt the love of God wash over me. It was a warm sensation and tears started gushing, so much so that I had to pull over and stop. At that moment, I felt the love of God as I had never felt

In 2 Timothy 3:16 Paul refers to Scripture as “breathed out by God.” This is a verse we should memorize and cling to. But for many Christians, this might be the only proof that would come to mind. The issue of the authority and inspiration of Scripture is not just a topic to be debated by scholars, nor is it simply an apologetic issue to be defended against skeptics. This is a truth that shapes how we approach God and how we listen when He speaks.

I remember how I felt when God delivered me from alcohol, drugs, and living a life that did not revere Him. God showed His grace and mercy to me by doing for me what I could not do for myself. Alcohol and drugs became a way of life for me, and as a slave to them, I could not break the yoke it had on me.

After this, I began going to church more often, around once every month. However, my faith journey took a big turn once high school came around. I decided to go to Bellarmine. This opened up a completely new door to me, teaching me the ways of God and the goodness of people.

Christian Response: Salvation, according to the Bible, is due to God’s grace and love. He provided Jesus as the sacrifice for the sins of the world. It’s through faith in the crucified and risen Jesus that we may be saved. Works are excluded (John 1:12; 3:16; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8-9).

There are clear statements that indicate the Bible is not only God breathed, but it is a whole and true document. The Rock not only mentions the Bible being God breathed, “Holy men of God, being moved by the Holy Spirit, wrote every word of Scripture, and it is divinely and uniquely inspired, being absolutely trustworthy in all matters of faith and conduct,” but it explicitly states that because all scripture is God breathed, “all Scripture in the original manuscripts are inerrant in that it conveys exactly what God wants us to know and is complete in it’s present form.” The Nicene Creed never once discusses the Bible nor it’s inerrancy. It is interesting to see that they left this out and also committed the idea that God spoke every word of the Bible and it was written by his holy

My family is good friends with a man in India, Nashod, who, though his experiences were very different, was also chased by Jesus and hounded by Him throughout his entire life. This man experienced miracles, visions, and strange coincidences multiple times, and they eventually led him to my father, who could explain the Christian faith to him. Uncle Nashod’s story, as well as other miracles my family has experienced, has strengthened my faith whenever I experience a moment of doubt. Not only do they prove to me that the Lord is living and active, they also are a reminder that, though he is all powerful and greater than we can imagine, He is also has love for us that is greater than we can dream.

While I was typing this to my aunt through Facebook, it got me thinking and realizing where I actually stood when it came to my religion. I was confused, worried, and curious. All those years at church in elementary school became unimportant. Everything I learned there was gone. I felt like I entered into a new world with much curiosity.

But I didn’t knew this until God’s Word was explained to me through those first weeks I started to visit this church.

People say the Bible is the Word of God. This typically means that the authors of the Bible were being inspired by God while they were writing out what today would be called Scripture. Many Christians around the world believe the Bible is inspired by God. I believe this but I also believe many Christians don't fully understand what being inspired by God actually means.

I have turned to scriptures in the Bible through times of stress, sickness, and turmoil for clarity. I find it amazing how words written thousands of years ago still ring true today. The words have a powerful and healing effect and can calm and soothe. I am by no means a scholar of the Bible and don’t get to read the Bible as often as I would like too. Most of my

Peter further states that “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence” (2 Peter 1:3). I further believe that God is sovereign over all things (Ephesians 1:11), and He will not let His inspired word to be corrupted for the church (Mathew 24:35). The Bible is written for the church; God would not deprive his chosen sheep from his inspired word. I believe these two truths: God cannot lie (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18), and all scripture is true (John 17:17, Mark 13:31). I agree with the reformers and hold to sola scripture, meaning not that everything (every word of Jesus, all history, etc.) is found in the bible, but rather that scripture is the sole, infallible rule of faith.

I could not take it anymore. On cold February evening, I attended a Christian Bible study where I met new friends. They prayed for me and made me feel closer to God. I remember thinking that night, ‘these are the kind of people I want to be surrounded by’.
