Calvary Chapel Center City’s Statement of Faith:
WE BELIEVE...
IN ONE PERSONAL, TRANSCENDENT, AND HOLY GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL, WHO IS ETERNAL AND WHO MANIFESTS HIMSELF IN THREE SEPARATE PERSONS: FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.
THAT JESUS CHRIST, THOUGH FULLY GOD BECAME A MAN FOR THE SUFFERING OF DEATH, THAT HE IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH, BORN OF A VIRGIN, LIVED A SINLESS LIFE, PROVIDED FOR THE ATONEMENT OF OUR SINS BY HIS VICARIOUS DEATH ON THE CROSS, WAS BODILY RESURRECTED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ASCENDED BACK TO THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER, AND EVER LIVES TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR US. AFTER JESUS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN, HE POURED OUT HIS HOLY SPIRIT ON THE BELIEVERS IN JERUSALEM, ENABLING THEM TO FULFILL HIS COMMAND TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, AN OBLIGATION SHARED BY ALL BELIEVERS TODAY.
THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE BY NATURE SEPARATED FROM GOD AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SIN, BUT THAT SALVATION, REDEMPTION, AND FORGIVENESS ARE FREELY OFFERED TO ALL BY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHEN A PERSON REPENTS OF SIN AND ACCEPTS JESUS CHRIST AS PERSONAL SAVIOR AND LORD, TRUSTING HIM TO SAVE, THAT PERSON IS IMMEDIATELY BORN AGAIN AND SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, ALL HIS/HER SINS ARE FORGIVEN, AND THAT PERSON BECOMES A CHILD OF GOD.
IN THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INDWELLS, SEALS, AND EMPOWERS EVERY BELIEVER, BAPTIZING THEM INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. WE FURTHER BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME UPON ANY BELIEVER WHO ASKS IN FAITH, ENABLING HIM/HER TO PREACH THE GOSPEL IN POWER. WE ALSO BELIEVE ALL OF THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MENTIONED IN THE SCRIPTURES ARE VALID FOR TODAY IF THEY ARE EXERCISED WITHIN THE SCRIPTURAL GUIDELINES. WE BELIEVE THAT LOVE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL THE GIFTS, AND WITHOUT THIS LOVE ALL EXERCISE OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS IS WORTHLESS.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, HIS CHURCH, AND THAT CHURCH GOVERNMENT SHOULD HE SIMPLISTIC RATHER THAN A COMPLEX BUREAUCRACY. WE DESIRE TO BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL THE FUNCTIONS AND DIRECTIONS OF THE MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH.
IN A PERSONAL DEVIL CALLED SATAN WHO, ALONG WITH ALL HIS EVIL ANGELS, CALLED DEMONS, IS DESTINED TO SPEND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE, AND WHO NOW SEEKS TO DECEIVE THE BELIEVERS AND DEFEAT THE WORK OF GOD, BUT WHO CAN BE RESISTED BY BELIEVERS WHO ARE IN-DWELT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, PROTECTED BY GOD, AND INTERCEDED FOR BY JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
THAT THE NATION OF ISRAEL HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN GOD'S PLAN AND THAT ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD TO ISRAEL WILL BE FULFILLED.
