That the entire Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, the only rule of faith, and that none may add to it or take away from it, except at their peril.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>2. In the Trinity: that our one God is eternally existent in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who are co-equal, co-existent and co-eternal. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>3. That God created man in His own image, and called him to manifest and reflect holiness through obedience to His commandments. Because man has failed in this responsibility, and refused to honor God as God, he has fallen into a state of moral corruption, and has become alienated from his Creator.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>4. That because of a profound love for His creation, God has initiated a plan of redemption that He has accomplished on behalf of His people in the realm of temporal history. The zenith of this redemption is located in the historical incarnation of God in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, who is the Christ or Messiah of Old Testament prophecy, being at the same time fully God and fully man. This Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life which perfectly pleased His Father, and He is the only mediator between God and man.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>5. In the bodily resurrection of the crucified Christ, in His ascension, and in His present position as the exalted King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and as the Head of the Church.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>6. That we are justified by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. Salvation is the free gift of God, as He rescues those who believe the Gospel from His holy wrath. The Lord Jesus Christ, through His substitutionary, atoning death and bodily resurrection, has provided the basis of our justification. All who repent and believe the gospel, receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, are saved from the penalty and power of sin, receive the gift of eternal life, as the righteousness of Christ is imputed to them, which is the only possible satisfaction of God's justice. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>7. That proceeding from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit, as the supernatural and sovereign Agent in effecting regeneration, dwells in the hearts of every true believer, operates in their sanctification, leads them into all truth, and seals them until the day of redemption. Every Christian should therefore manifest the nine-fold fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>8. That while all genuine believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit at conversion, the New Testament indicates the importance of an ongoing, empowering of the Spirit subsequent to conversion as well. Being indwelt by the Spirit and being filled with the Spirit are theologically distinct experiences. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit, empowering the believer to be a witness of Christ, and to minister the life and power of the kingdom.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>9. That our Lord Jesus Christ is the Healer of the body, and that all can receive Divine healing for their bodies in that "by His stripes we were healed." </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>10. That the gifts of the Holy Spirit at work in the Church of the first century are available today, and are vital for the on-going mission of the Church. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>11. In the two ordinances of the Church: the water baptism (immersion) of all new believers, and the Lord's Supper.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>12. In the personal, and soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ, to receive to Himself the Church, and afterwards to set up His throne as King upon the earth.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>13. In everlasting conscious bliss of all true believers in Christ, and also the eternal punishment of all who do not believe in Him.</B> </div> <bR> <div> <B>14. That all Christians should live by faith in what God says they are, have received, and can do, through their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="389" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 17 WIDTH="385"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="385" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>If you prayed this prayer please let us know by </B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us"><U><I><B><U>CONTACTING US.</U></B></I></U></A></FONT></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>(c) 2012 New Haven Christian Church</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>, </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Palatino Linotype" ><A HREF="mailto:webmaster@newhaven@satx.rr.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:webmaster@newhaven@satx.rr.com"><U><B>Questions or concerns regarding this website please contact </B></U></A></FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Palatino Linotype" ><A HREF="mailto:webmaster@newhaven@satx.rr.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:webmaster@newhaven@satx.rr.com"><U><B>Webmaster </B></U></A></FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <embed src="HTMLobj-181/elshaddai.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">  </B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
