Doctrinal Statement of
Emmanuel Bible College
While Emmanuel Bible College is not affiliated with any denomination, we do hold to some foundational Biblical truths. The following is our doctrinal statement.
THE BIBLE - We believe that the Bible, composed of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments is inspired of God by verbal, plenary inspiration; is inerrant in the original autographs; and is the supreme and final authority in faith, practice, and all other areas to which it speaks.
THE TRINITY - We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - Who created all else from nothing.
THE FATHER - We believe that God the Father, the First Person of the Divine Trinity, is a Spirit - infinite, eternal and unchangeable in all His attributes.
THE SON - We believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son, the Second Person of the Divine Trinity, that He was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, that He is true God and true man, and that He is the only and sufficient Mediator between God and man.
THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Divine Trinity, and that He convicts the world of sin, regenerates the sinner, baptizes, indwells, guides, instructs and empowers all believers for godly living and service.
MAN - We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he disobeyed and therby incurred both spiritual and physical death; consequently, all men are sinners by nature and practice and are in need of regeneration without which they are eternally lost.
SALVATION - We believe that the substitutionary death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ provide the only ground for justification, that personal faith in Him is the only condition for salvation.
THE CHURCH - We believe that the universal church, founded at Pentecost, consists of all true believers and that local churches are established for the purpose of worship, instruction, mutual edification ad world-wide witness.
ESCHATOLOGY - We believe that the resurrected Christ ascended into Heaven and now appears before the Father as our advocate. We look forward to His personal, bodily, visible, return.
JUDGMENT - We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto everlasting blessedness in perfect union with Christ and the lost into everlasting punishment separated from God.
