Cornerstone Christian Church

WE BELIEVE

The Bible is the authoritative and infallible Word of God, supreme for all faith and practice, the final authority for determining all doctrinal truths. God is the One and only true God, eternally existing in three person, the coequal and coeternal Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and named Jesus. On Earth, He was fully man and

fully God. Without sin Himself, Jesus took all of our sins upon Himself, died on the cross as full payment of our sins, and rose again (the “resurrection”) three days later. About forty days later, He returned to the Father. Humanity was created by God as good and upright, but all of humanity fell into sin by the transgression of Adam. Humanity’s only hope for redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Salvation is found only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection; it is the gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human effort. The Holy Spirit indwells every true believer who has placed his faith in Christ; He manifest Himself through a variety of spiritual gifts given to all believers to build up and sanctify the Church. The gifts are always to be harmonized with the Bible, righteous living and church order. Great Commissions: Every believer is commissioned by Christ to spread the gospel (The story and the hope of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus) to the world. Ordinances – After placing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, each new believer is commanded in the Bible to be baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. All believers in Christ should regularly receive the Lord’s Supper, the elements of bread and juice that represent the body and blood of Christ, in order to remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins and the victory over death, hell and the grave it provides. Jesus will return to Earth in power and glory, but God has not said when this will occur. Jesus now offers resurrection and eternal life to all people who will now receive Him as Savior from sins and as Lord of their lives…
