What We Believe

Kirtland Christian Fellowship

1. We believe that all 66 books of the Bible (Old and New Testaments) are the infallible and inerrant Word of God, fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the final authority in every matter that it addresses.
2. We believe in one God in 3 persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This one, true God is the creator and sustainer of all that exists, both in heaven and on earth.
3. We believe that the Son – Jesus Christ – was God become man; that he was conceived supernaturally by the Holy Spirit to a young virgin named Mary; that he died on the cross for our sins; and that he rose from the dead.
4. We believe in the Holy Spirit; the 3^rd Person of the Triune God-head. He is the one who reveals Christ to us. He comes to live in the hearts of believers, gives new live and the power to live for God. He is at work in believers, transforming them into the likeness of Christ. He places each member in the body of Christ and gives each one gifts for service. We believe in the conscious experience of the filling and empowering of the Holy Spirit for service today.
5. We believe that every human being is separated from God, and under His just condemnation, because of sin. The only way that any person can be forgiven and reconciled to our Heavenly Father is through repentance, trusting in Christ’s redeeming work on the cross, and being spiritually re-born by the supernatural act of the Holy Spirit.
6. We believe that the Church is God’s family, composed of everyone who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ. Local congregations of the Church are where believers gather to worship and grow together in faith.
7. We believe that Jesus rose, literally and bodily, from the dead, and that he will return one day to judge the earth and fully establish God’s kingdom for all eternity.
