The Statement of Faith of Neighbors for Christ, LLC. All Scripture references are from the King James Version.
The Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). God has preserved His Word for every generation (Psalm 12:6,7). The Scriptures are the final authority for faith and life, above every man, council, institution, denomination, and tradition.
There is one true and living God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7).
The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man (John 1:1,14). He was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again bodily the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3,4). There is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12; John 14:6).
The Holy Ghost is a divine Person who indwells every believer at the moment of salvation (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 1:13,14).
Man was created in the image of God, fell into sin, and is now unable to save himself (Romans 3:23; 5:12; 6:23).
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. It is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; Acts 16:31).
Every born again believer is kept forever by the power of God (John 10:28,29; Romans 8:38,39).
The true Church is the body of Christ, made up of every born again believer, not one denomination or institution (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 4:4,5,6).
The Church has not replaced Israel. The promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David concerning the nation of Israel and the land are unconditional and will be literally fulfilled (Romans 11:1,2,25 through 29; Jeremiah 31:35,36; Genesis 12:1 through 3).
We believe in the pretribulational catching up of the believers (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52) and the premillennial return of Christ to reign 1000 years (Revelation 19 through 20).
The saved will be with the Lord forever in a literal heaven (John 5:28,29; John 14:2,3; 2 Corinthians 5:8).
Every person who dies without trusting Christ will stand before the great white throne and be cast into the lake of fire, a literal place of conscious, eternal punishment (Revelation 20:11 through 15; Revelation 14:11; Mark 9:44; Luke 16:19 through 31; Hebrews 9:27; John 3:36). There is no purgatory and no second chance after death.
Our allegiance is to the Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, not to an institution, a denomination, or a tradition (Isaiah 8:20; Acts 17:11).
