MYHELP Statement of Faith

              I.      The Bible in its entirety is the inerrant, inspired, and only word of God.  The Bible is the supreme and final authority in faith and life.

            II.      There is one God manifesting Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one in nature and equal in power.

          III.      Jesus Christ is God incarnate.   While He was on earth, He was fully God and fully man.

        IV.      Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life while on earth, and offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of all men.  He rose bodily from the grave on the third day, ascended to the right hand of God, and intercedes for us as our High Priest.

          V.      The Holy Spirit convicts, converts, and regenerates sinners to become true believers of Jesus Christ.   The Holy Spirit dwells in the believer, teaching and guiding for holy living.

       VI.      Salvation is wholly of God’s sovereign grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

      VII.      We reject the anti-Christian tenets of secular humanism, including the general theory of evolution, one-world government, government-mandated sex education, government-mandated parenting courses, modern feminist ideology, abortion, and the promotion of homosexuality as an alternative, acceptable lifestyle.
