International Bible Way Church of Jesus Christ
The Apostolic Statement of Faith
We believe that salvation comes only through the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary, that Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead, and that Jesus ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor. [Acts 4:12; Eph 2:8-10; Acts 2:38; John 3:16; Mark 1:111; Matt3: 1; 1:18; Luke 1:27, 35; I Cor 15:15; Ps 68; Rom 8:39; Eph 4:8-9]
We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory and the repentance is required by God and is necessary for the forgiveness of sin [Matt 3:1-12; II Chron 7:14; Rom 3:9-12. 23; Gal 3:22; Acts 2:38; 3:19]
We believe that water baptism by immersion must be in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins [Acts 2:38; 8:26-28; 10:44-48; 19:17; 2:16; Rom 6:36]
We believe that holiness is God's standard of living for His people. IPs 83:5; Rom 6:19; I Tim 2:15]
We believe that speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives us utterance is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. [Mark 16:15-20; Acts 2:14; John &:37-39; Isa 28:11]
We believe that divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. [Isa 53:4-6; Rom 11:25; I Cor 15:3; Heb 5:8; I Pet 2:25]
We believe that the Lord's Supper should be commemorated. Matt 26:26-29; Luke 22:19-20; I Cor 11: 23-24; Acts 2:42; I Cor 10: 16-17]
We believe that the resurrection and rapture of the true church of God is imminent. [Il Thess 1:7; Matt 24:31; Acts 1:11; I Cor 15:23; Thess 4:13-18]
We believe that Jesus is God incarnated in flesh. [Matt 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38;John 1:1-3]
We believe in the final judgment of the living and dead and the final establishment of a new heaven and earth wherein dwells righteousness. [Mark 16:16; John 12:48; Heb 9:27; Rev 21:1-5; II Peter 3:10-13]
