Statement of Faith
World Harvest Deliverance Center Christian Academy's Statement of Faith:
God speaks to us through the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit, Who guides us in understanding and application (John 16:13; Romans 11:36). The Bible is the only inspired, infallible, inerrant and authoritative Word of God (II Timothy 3:15, II Peter 1:21).
There is one God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:3)
Jesus Christ is the only perfect image of God the Father and shows us the nature of God (John 1:19).
We believe in His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrew 4:15; 7:26); His Miracles (John 2:11); His death for our sins (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9).
His resurrection (John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19): and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).
The Holy spirit is God at work in the world and the church today (John 16:7-11).
He is the Comforter (John 16:7), leads the believer into truth (John 16:13), and enables us to grow into Christ's likeness. His indwelling in every believer is a sign of salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14).
The teaching of the Holy Spirit will always be consistent with biblical truth (John 14:26).
Salvation is essential to eternal life due to man's sinfulness, and comes as a gift of God's grace through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit (John 3:35; Ephesians 2:8,9). Nothing, not even death can separate the believer from the love of God (Romans 8:38,39).
There will be a resurrection of the dead, with the saved resurrected to an eternal life with God, and the unsaved to a resurrection of eternal separation from God (John 5:24,28,29).
All believers have spiritual unity in Christ (Romans 8:5-13; I Corinthians 12:12,13; Galatians 3:26-28). Growth in the Christian life depends upon being transformed by the Word, the practice of Biblical doctrine, the exercise of prayer and by fellowship with other Christians (Acts 2:42; Matthew 5:6).
