1. The Trinity

It is the testimony of both the Old and New Testaments and of the Christian Church that God is both One and Triune. The biblical revelation testifies that there is only on God and that He is eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

2. The Scripture

We affirm that the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct.

3. The Atonement

Christ's death on the cross paid the penalty for the sins of the whole world, but its benefits are only applicable to those who receive Jesus as their personal Savior. Healing - body, soul and spirit - and all of God's provisions for His saints, are provided for in the atonement, but these must be appropriated.

4. Salvation

The Word of God declares clearly that salvation is a free gift of God, based on the merits of the death of His Son, and is appropriated by faith. Salvation is affected by personal repentance, belief in the Lord Jesus and personal acceptance of Him into one's life as Lord and Savior.

 

5. The Christian Life

We believe that the Scriptures portray the life of the saint in this world to be one of balance between what is imputed to us as Christians and what is imparted to us accoring to our faith and maturity. Hence, God's provision for His children is total, and the promises are final and forever. The shortcomings of the individual and of the Church are because of the still progressing sanctification of the saints. The Christian life is filled with trials, tests, and warfare agains a spiritual enemy. For those abiding in Christ until their deaths or His return, the promises of eternal blessing in the presence of God are assured. 

6. The Church

The goal of the Church is to make disciples of all nations and to present the saints complete in Christ. Church policy is a balance between congregtion and eldership authority, emphasizing the final authority of the Church leadership. It is essential to the life of the Church that scriptural patterns of discipline are practiced and that oversight for Church discipline, individual and corporate, is exercised by the leadership of the Church.

7. Baptism and The Lord's Supper

The Word of God enjoins on the Church two perpetual ordinance of the Lord Jesus Christ. The first, baptism, is the outward sign of what God has already done in the individual's life and is a testimony to all that the person now belongs to Jesus. It is identification with Jesus and is affected in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Lord's Supper is a commemoration of the death of the Lord and is done in remembrance of Him until He comes again; it is a sign of our participation in Him. Both institutions are restricted to those who are believers.

Jesus came with a dual mission - to save the lost, but also to bring God's judgment on unbelievers. Just as fire purges and purifies, Christ's gospel either saves people or condemns based on their response. Jesus bore God's judgment for believers by dying on the cross. But unbelievers will face judgment after death. Jesus warns against lacking spiritual discernment of the times and failing to see the danger of rejecting him.

Dr. Michael Youssef teaches on the profound meaning of the word "sincere," tracing its roots to the Roman Empire's deceptive practices with marble. By examining Luke chapter 12, Dr. Youssef emphasizes the pervasive nature of hypocrisy in society, likening hypocrites to actors. Stressing the importance of truth in a world filled with deception, he urges believers to focus on three non-negotiables: honoring the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In an environment where false teachings can easily sway many, the central message is clear: prioritize and uphold the teachings of the triune God to steer clear of hypocrisy's influence. The ultimate reward? Eternal protection and blessings in Jesus, regardless of worldly challenges.

Dr. Michael Youssef tackles the question "Who will be saved and go to heaven?" He explains that only those who repent and believe in Jesus will enter heaven. Good works, church attendance, or simply calling yourself a Christian is not enough. Salvation requires surrendering your sin and pride to Christ. Dr. Youssef vividly describes hell and warns against false gospels that deviate from biblical truth. He proclaims the uncompromising message that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.
