"Helping disciples grow in Christ"
Our statement of faith
At Corpus Bible Institute we hold to the following beliefs:
- We believe in the inspiration of the Old and New
Testament Scriptures, which were inerrant in the original writings. They are the
supreme authority in faith, doctrine and life.
- We believe in one God eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the universal sinfulness and guilt of
the human race since the fall in the garden.
- We believe that the sole ground given to mankind for
its redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
- We believe that only repentance from sin and
justification through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ will save us from the
judgement to come.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit brings instant
sanctification of the new believer as well as the progressive sanctification to the
obeying believer thus producing spiritual growth in his life. The Holy
Spirit does this by illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and guiding
the believer.
- We believe in the universal priesthood of
believers who form the universal Church. The Church is the body of
Christ and Christ is its head.
- We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ and
wait for his glorious arrival.
- We believe that all men are created in the image of
God and should be treated with dignity and respect, desiring to see them come to the
saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
