Statement
of Faith
Huntsville
Christian Church is a congregational governed church
in the Campbell-Stone tradition. Though we are not a creedal
church, we unite around a set of common beliefs that include:
1. The Bible is the fully inspired Word of God and our final
authority in all matters of faith and practice (2
Timothy 3:16-17)
2.We believe in the one God, Triune,Father,Son and Holy Spirit
(Genisis1:26;Isaiah
6:8;Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)
3. We
believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, born of a
virgin, shed His blood by dying on Calvary`s cross for the
remission of our sins and rising on the third day for our
justification. We believe that Jesus is coming again to this
earth to rule and to reign as the King of Kings and Lord of
Lords. (john
3:16;Isaiah 7:4,Matthew 1:16;Matthew 20:28;ii
Corinth.5:18-19;John 20:1-9; I thess.4)
4. We believe the Holy Spirit,
the third person of the trinity, seeks to lesd all people to a
saving knowledge of Christ by convicting of sin and exaulting
Christ, so that he indwells every believer and gives gifts as
He wills to those believers for the building up of the faith.
(John 16:8-11;I
Corinth.6:19;I Corinth. 12:7-11)
5. We believe the New Testament Church
is made up of those regenerate people who have been born again
by the Spirit of God and seek to grow in love and fellowship
with the Lord and other believers. We believe that
Christ has given two ordinances for the church:
a. Believers Baptism by Immersion;
b. The Lords Table, open to all believers and celebrated each
Lord`s Day. (Acts
2:41-47)
6. We believe that the soul of man is
eternal with the choice of two eternal destinies. For those
believing in Jesus Christ, eternal life with the Lord in that
place He has prepared; for those non-belivers, eternal death
and condemnation with satan and his angels in the Lake of
Hells Fire. (Gen.
2:7;John 3:36; John 14:6; Rev.20:10-15;Matthew 25:41)
