ARTICAL 2 - PURPOSE
The purpose of Grace Bible Church of Port Richey shall be:
A. To evangelize those without Christ locally and
abroad, through preaching, baptizing, and discipling.
B. To build up Christians to be spiritually mature
through Bible study,prayer, worship, fellowship and service.
C. To defend the faith.
D. To maintain, own, and have a place/places of worship for the glory of God.
The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the divinely,
verbally,inspired, word of God, and without error in the
the true center
of Christian union and the supreme and
final standard by which all human
conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.
(2 Tim. 3:15-17, 2 Pet. 1:20,
Psalms 19:7-9
We believe in the only one true God, who is the Creator, Sustainer,
Sovereign
Ruler of all things, eternally existing
in three persons (Father, Son, &
Holy Spirit), who are
equal in nature, attributes, and perfection. (Deut. 6:4,
Matt. 28: 19, 2 Cor. 13:14
The Lord Jesus Christ is true God and true man, the eternal
Son of God,
conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary in order to reveal God
and
redeem sinful mankind. He accomplished this redemption by
offering Himself
on the cross bearing our sin, as the
sinless substitutionary sacrifice,
thereby satisfying God's righteous
judgment against sin. After substantiating
this redemption
by His bodily resurrection from the dead, He ascended to the
right hand of God the Father, and intercedes for those who trust Him. (John
1:1,2,14,18;d Luke 1:34 - 35; Rom. 3:24-26, 8:34)
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who convicts
the world of
sin, righteousness, and judgement, and regenerates
the unbeliever, and
sanctifies and teaches those who believe in Jesus Christ.
At the moment of
regeneration, the Holy Spirit baptizes, seals,
indwells, and sovereignly
bestows spiritual gifts upon
each believer for the edification of the body of
Christ.
(Eph. 1:13, 4:30; John 16:7-11; 1 Cor:12)
We believe that the gifts of speaking in tongues and the working
of sign
gifts/miracles ceased as the N.T. was
completed and its authority established. The sign gifts
were given
as signs to the Israelites in fulfillment of O.T. prophecy but were
not
signs of spiritual superiority or maturity. (1 Cor. 12:4-11, 13:1-3,
14:33,23; and Eph. 4:7-12)
We believe that God may heal miraculously today when it
is His perfect will to
do so, but physical healing is not in the atonement.
(2 Cor. 12:8-10; Jas. 5:14-16)
We believe in the distinct personality of Satan, and that he is the
unholy god
of this age. We hold him to be man's great tempter,
the enemy of God and His
Christ, the accuser of saints, and author
of all powers of darkness, sin and
false religion.
He is destined to the judgment of an eternal justice in the
lake of fire.
( Matt.4:1-11; 2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 20:10; John 14:30)
We believe in the literal 6 day account of creation; that
the creation of man
lies in the special, immediate,
and formative acts of God and not from
previously
existing forms of life. (Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7-9, 16, 17, 3:1-19)
The first man, Adam, was created innocent, but through willful
disobedience to
God, he became spiritually dead, bringing sin
and physical death into the
human race. This spiritual depravity
has been transmitted to all men, so that
man is sinful
in nature and by practice. Therefore, regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential to the salvation of man.
(Gen. 1:26, 3:1-4;
Rom. 3:10-18, 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3)
We believe mankind was created male and female with each fulfilling
their
sexual role in a heterosexual
monogamist marriage. We also believe that all
forms of sexual
activity outside of a heterosexual marriage are a perversion
of God's sexual design. Sexual activity such
as homosexuality, lesbianism,
sodomy, and pedophilia are sinful perversions,
and no child of God can
maintain such
a sexual lifestyle. (Gen. 2:18-25; Eph 5:21-33; Rom. 1:24-32;
Gal.
5:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:6-11; 1 Jn. 3:4-9)
Salvation is the gift of God's grace. Not gained by meritorious
works, and
freely given to all who trust in the
finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary.
Thus, all repentant sinners
are forgiven and born into God's family by the
regenerating
work of the Holy Spirit. Evidence of salvation
appears in the
holy fruits of repentance,
and newness of life. (Eph. 2:8-9; John 1:13; John
3:3-6; Matt. 7:16; Titus 3:5)
We believe that repentance and faith are solemn obligations, and
also
inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the
quickening Spirit of God;
thereby being deeply convicted
of our guilt, danger, and helplessness and of
the
way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition,
confession, and supplication for mercy; at the same
time heartily receiving
the Lord Jesus Christ
and openly confessing Him as our only and all-sufficient
Savior.
(Acts 20:21; Mark 1:15; Acts 2:27-38; Luke 18:13; Psalms 51:1-4,7;
Is. 55:6,7)
Regeneration is the instantaneous act of the Holy Spirit, whereby
the sinner,
who is dead in trespasses and sin, is brought
to spiritual life and is made
partaker of the Divine nature.
This act is brought about, not by culture, not
by character
, nor by the will of man, only by the operation of the Holy Spirit
in
connection with the Word of God. (John 1:12-13; 3:8)
Justification is the judicial act of God whereby the sinner is
declared
righteous in view of Christ's shed blood, in which
punishment is absolved
(having suffered in Christ),
and the sinner is restored to Divine favor. (Rom.
5:1-9, 4:4-5; Acts 13:39)
We believe that all the saved, those in whom God has accomplished
His
transforming work of grace, are kept by His power and
are thus secure in
Christ forever. It is their privilege
to rejoice in the assurance of their
salvation.
However, this assurance must not be the occasion for sin, for God
in
holiness cannot tolerate persistent sin in His children, and in
infinite
love, He corrects them.
Faithfulness to Christ is the hallmark which
distinguishes them from
superficial professors. (John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:31-39;
I John 5:13; Heb.12:6; Matt. 7:20)
