Queensland University (Statement of Faith)
We believe the Scriptures to be the inspired word of God.
We believe that there is one God,eternally existent in three (3) persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus to be the true Son of God, born of a virgin, dying on the cross, resurrected from the dead as the sacrifice of our sin.
Man was created in the image of God but was marred by sin by disobedience of our first parents and is now born with a nature inclined to sin.
Atonement for sin is received by repentance, belief, and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is through the Lordship of Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit is able to equip believers to live a holy and effective life.
Our Lord will return, the dead will rise, and final judgment will take place.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender and class differences
