Penn Faculty_Staff Christian Forum Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith:
Penn Faculty-Staff Christian Forum

As an interdenominational and evangelical fellowship of believers, we are committed to these historic doctrines of the Christian faith:

Belief in the eternal Triune God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-and belief that Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God;
Belief that humanity was created in the image of God but has fallen from its created state into sin and spiritual death;
Belief that Jesus Christ as perfect Deity and true humanity died for our sins as our substitute and rose bodily from the dead;
Belief in the unique divine inspiration and trustworthiness of the Bible, and that it is the basis of our beliefs and the final authority in all matters on which it speaks;
Belief that spiritual life and forgiveness of sins is found through faith in Christ alone, not through our effort or goodness;
Belief in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in spiritual birth and growth;
Belief that every Christian is called to live by the power of the Holy Spirit a life of love, fruitful service and witness of the gospel of Christ;
Belief in the local Christian church and the responsibility of each believer to participate in the worship and ordinances of a church home where Christ is honored and God's Word is preached;
Belief in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth to judge the living and the dead and to consummate the eternal plan of God.
