Community Church agrees with and teaches the
doctines held by the
Christian and Missionary
Alliance
as shown below:
1.
There is one God,(1) who is infinitely perfect,(2)
existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.(3)
([1] Deuteronomy 6:4, [2] Matthew 5:48, [3] Matthew
28:19)
2. Jesus Christ is the
true God and the true man.(4) He was conceived by
the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.(5) He
died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust,(6) as
a substitutionary sacrifice,(7) and all who believe
in Him are justified on the ground of His shed
blood.(8) He arose from the dead according to the
Scriptures.(9) He is now at the right hand of
Majesty on high as our great High Priest.(10) He
will come again to establish His kingdom,
righteousness and peace.(11)
([4] Philippians 2:6-11, [5] Luke 1:34–38, [6] I
Peter 3:18, [7] Hebrews 2:9, [8] Romans 5:9, [9]
Acts 2:23–24, [10] Hebrews 8:1, [11] Matthew 26:64)
3. The Holy Spirit is a
divine person,(12) sent to dwell, guide, teach,
empower the believer,(13) and convince the world of
sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.(14)
([12] John 14:15–18, [13] John 16:13, Acts 1:8, [14]
John 16:7–11)
4. The Old and New
Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were
verbally inspired by God and are a complete
revelation of His will for the salvation of men.
They constitute the divine and only rule of
Christian faith and practice.(15)
([15] 2 Peter 1:20–21, 2 Timothy 3:15–16)
5. Man was originally
created in the image and likeness of God:(16) he
fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both
physical and spiritual death. All men are born with
a sinful nature,(17) are separated from the life of
God, and can be saved only through the atoning work
of the Lord Jesus Christ.(18) The portion of the
unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in
conscious torment;(19) and that of the believer, in
everlasting joy and bliss.(20)
([16] Genesis 1:27, [17] Romans 3:23, [18] 1
Corinthians15:20–23, [19] Revelation 21:8, [20]
Revelation 21:1–4)
6. Salvation has been
provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those
who repent and believe in Him are born again of the
Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and
become the children of God.(21)
([21] Titus 3:4–7)
7. It is the will of God
that each believer should be filled with the Holy
Spirit and be sanctified wholly,(22) being separated
from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the
will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living
and effective service.(23) This is both a crisis and
a progressive experience wrought in the life of the
believer subsequent to conversion.24
([22] 1 Thessalonians 5:23, [23] Acts 1:8, [24]
Romans 6:1–14)
8. Provision is made in
the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the
healing of the mortal body.(25) Prayer for the sick
and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures
and are privileges for the Church in this present
age.(26)
([25] Matthew 8:16–17, [26] James 5:13–16)
9. The Church consists
of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
are redeemed through His blood, and are born again
of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body,
the Church, (27) which has been commissioned by Him
to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the
gospel to all nations.(28) The local church is a
body of believers in Christ who are joined together
for the worship of God, for edification through the
Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the
proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the
ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.(29)
([27] Ephesians 1:22–23, [28] Matthew 28:19–20, [29]
Acts 2:41–47)
10. There shall be a
bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust;
for the former, a resurrection unto life;(30) for
the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.(31)
([30] 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, [31] John 5:28–29)
11. The second coming of
the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent(32) and will be
personal, visible, and premillennial.(33) This is
the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth
which is an incentive to holy living and faithful
service.(34)
([32] Hebrews 10:37, [33] Luke 21:27, [34] Titus
2:11–14)
