SON-net  Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the Divinely inbreathed, infallible,
inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.

WE BELIEVE that there is one God, externally existent in three Divine
persons:  God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. (The
Trinity)

WE BELIEVE that all men are sinners in need of a Saviour and that
salvation is ONLY found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, His
unqualified deity (He is God), His sinless humanity and perfect
life, the eternal all-sufficiency of His atoning death, His
bodily resurrection, His ascention to the Father's right hand, and
His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule.

WE BELIEVE in the Blessed Hope - the pre-tribulation rapture of the 
Church which could happen at any time.  We believe that God is blessing
and fulfilling prophecies related to the nation of Israel and end time
events.  

WE BELIEVE that justification is a judical act of God on the believer's
behalf solely on the merits of Christ, and that regeneration by the
power of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift of God received with a repentant
heart and that salvation cannot be earned or merited by good works.

WE BELIEVE in Christ's Lordship over the Church, the observance of the
ordinances of Christian baptism by immersion for believers and the
Lord's Supper.  Both baptism and the Lord's supper have no part in
salvation but are performed in obedience by those who are already saved.

WE BELIEVE in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in heaven and the
eternal doom of the unregenerate in the lake of fire.
