All groups who utilize Adonai?s facilities under their own programming shall be in agreement with the following Statement of Faith:
1. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, and are inerrant in the original writings, and are the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
2. We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-equal and eternal.
3. We believe that salvation has been provided through the substitutionary sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered and died for our sins upon the cross, rose from the dead, ascended to God?s right hand, and is coming again in power and glory.
4. Man was created in the image of God, he sinned, and incurred physical as well as spiritual death, which is separation from God; all human beings inherit that sin nature.
5. Jesus Christ rose from the dead in His physical body, ascended into Heaven, and is sitting on the right hand of the Father making intercession for us.
6. All who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ, are born again of the Holy Spirit, and become the children of God.
7. Before the last judgment, Jesus will return to the earth in like manner as He ascended into Heaven and set up His Kingdom in Israel on the throne of David and rule for a thousand years.
8. We believe in the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the eternal judgment of all who reject our Lord Jesus Christ.
9. There will be a final White Throne Judgment of the just and the unjust. Those who are caught up with Christ will have no part in this judgment. This judgment in Scripture is referred to as the second death.
10. We believe that it is the responsibility of all who are saved to seek to win others to Christ.
