Litchfield Community Christian Church

OUR CHURCH'S STATEMENT OF FAITH
1)WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE, CONSISTING OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT TO BE INSPIRED, THE ONLY INFALLIBLE, AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD WRITTEN. --SEE 2 TIMOTHY 3:16
2) WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, ETERNALLY EXISTENT IN THESE PERSONS:FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST--SEE JOHN 1:1
3)WE BELIEVE IN THE DEITY OF CHRIST, IN HIS VIRGIN BIRTH, IN HIS SINLESS LIFE, IN HIS MIRACLES, IN HIS VICARIOUS AND ATONING DEATH, THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD, IN HIS BODILY RESURRECTION, IN HIS ASCENSION TO THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, AND HIS PERSONAL RETURN IN POWER AND GLORY.--SEE ACTS 1:11
4) WE BELIEVE THAT MAN WHO WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, SINNED, AND BY THE JUST JUDGEMENT OF GOD RECEIVED NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DEATH, BUT SPIRITUAL DEATH, WHICH IS SEPARATION FROM GOD:THEREFORE, ALL HUMANS ARE BORN WITH A SINFUL NATURE AND ARE IN DISTINCT NEED OF THE MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD. --SEE ROMANS 3:23 AND ROMANS 6:23
5)WE BELIEVE THAT ALL WHO COME BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH TO ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ARE BORN AGAIN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEREBY BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD. --SEE EPHESIANS 2:8-9, ROMANS 10:9-10, AND JOHN 3:3
6)WE BELIEVE IN THE PRESENT MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BY WHOSE INDWELLING POWER AND FULLNESS, THE CHRISTIAN IS ENABLED TO LIVE A GODLY, HOLY LIFE IN THE PRESENT EVIL WORLD.
7)WE BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A BODILY RESURRECTION OF ALL THE DEAD, OF ALL THE BELIEVERS TO EVERLASTING BLESSEDNESS AND JOY WITH THE LORD AND OF THE UNBELIEVER TO THE JUDGEMENT AND EVERLASTING CONSCIOUS PUNISHMENT. --SEE JOHN 5:28-29
8)WE BELIEVE IN THE SPIRITUAL UNITY OF ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST.
