Liberty Christian Academy accepts the Scriptures as the revealed Will of God, the all sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, adopts these Statements of Fundamental Truths and Doctrine.
Section 1. The Bible, composed of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and is the supreme and final authority in faith and life (Psalm 19:7; Matthew 5:17-19, 22:37-40).
Section 2. There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, 17:1; Isaiah 40:28-29; Matthew 3:16-17; I Thessalonians 1:9-10).
Section 3. Jesus Christ is truly God, truly human; the only begotten Son of God in His virgin birth, the only means of salvation in His vicarious death; was resurrected in the flesh; ascended back to and is with the Father; and will come again as promised (Psalm 16:8-10; Matthew 1:21-23; John 1:1, 14, 18; Romans 5:10-18).
Section 4. The personality of the Holy Spirit and His ministry is to reveal Christ unto men and women; to seal and equip the Christian with His fruitfulness; to glorify the Son who glorifies the Father; to comfort each Christian; and to guide each Christian into all truth (Job 33:4; Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:22,24; John 14:16, 16:12-15).
Section 5. God created the world; all life by the word of His mouth. He formed mankind by special personal action and the universe by special operation of divine power and continues to sustain all things by the power of His word (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-3).
Section 6. Man was created good and upright, for God said “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our Likeness.” But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 3:23-26, 5:12-21).
Section 7.
(a) For by grace we are saved through faith, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation” (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10).
(b) Justification by grace through faith and regeneration by the Holy Spirit make the penitent believer a new creature in Christ (Habakkuk 2:4; Galatians 3:6-14; John 1:12-13, 3:3, 5-8; II Corinthians 5:17).
(c) The inward evidence, to the believer of his salvation, is the direct witness of the Spirit. The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. “And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us” (Romans 8:16; 1 John 3:23).
(d) Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however; our works will determine the rewards in eternity (Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; Romans 14:20-21; II Corinthians 5:10).
Section 8. God’s plan for believers is to follow Jesus into maturity and reach out to others with the good news of Jesus Christ as they are led and equipped by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:15-18; Ephesians 4; Acts 1:8).
Section 9. The scriptures plainly teach the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting and conscious suffering of the lost (those who reject Jesus as the Christ) and the everlasting happiness of the saved (those who accept Jesus as the Christ) (Job 19:25-27; Matthew 22:30-32; Mark 16:1-8; I Thessalonians 4:13-17).
