BCF Statement of Faith
We believe in …
-
One God, existing eternally in three persons as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-
Jesus Christ: His deity, true humanity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and visible return to earth.
-
The Holy Spirit, Who convicts men of sin and sets apart the believer to a holy life.
-
The Bible as the Word of God, fully inspired, inerrant in the original writing, and of absolute authority in faith and life.
-
The sinfulness and helplessness of man and his inability on his own to produce any act worthy of God’s acceptance.
-
Salvation as a gift of God’s grace apart from human merit, received on condition of faith in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
The Church in its universal form, composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Its visible form is the body of believers organized locally for worship, prayer, teaching, edification, service, and evangelism.
