Living Springs Bible Camp Statement of Faith
Doctrinal Statement
We believe in the scriptures of the Old and the New Testament as verbally inspired by God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in Faith, Doctrine, and Life.
We believe in one God, eternally in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and is true man.
We believe in the personality of Satan and other evil spirit beings as the enemies of God, the saints, and the holy angels.
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become culpable sinners.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as the representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and all that believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate.
We believe in that “blessed hope”, the personal, bodily, visible, pre-millennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Church’s sole business - with no worldly alliance - is to shed the light of the glorious Gospel continuously in all the earth, looking for her Lord’s return.
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We believe that the fullness of the Holy Spirit is received by faith alone and that sanctification is progressive, as well as instantaneous, producing daily growth in grace toward spiritual maturity following the ONE experience of the New Birth.
We believe that at death all men continue in conscious existence, waiting the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust - the saved to everlasting blessedness - the unjust to everlasting conscious torment.
