At Contender
Ministries, we believe the following Biblical truths:
 |
The sixty-six books
of both the Old and New Testaments comprise the inspired Word of
God and are without error in the original writings. The Bible is
God's complete written revelation for the salvation of man and
is the final authority regarding Christian life and faith.
|
|
|
There is one
uncreated eternal God, eternally existent in three persons, the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. |
|
|
Jesus Christ is God
manifest in the flesh, was born of a virgin, led a sinless life,
died on the cross and rose again bodily on the third day.
Because He ever lives, He alone is our High Priest and advocate.
|
|
|
All mankind is sinful
by nature. This condition makes it impossible to earn his
exaltation through good works. Good works however, are a
by-product of saving faith, not a pre-requisite to be saved.
|
|
|
Mankind is saved by
grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Believers are
justified by His shed blood and shall be saved from wrath
through Him. |
|
|
Christ's Church is
made up of individuals who have recognized their lost state and
placed their trust in the redeeming work of Christ for their
salvation. |
|
|
Jesus Christ will
return again for His own. All true believers will reign with Him
throughout eternity. |
|
|
There will be a
bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust; the just to
everlasting life, the unjust to everlasting damnation.
