Statement of
Faith
Under the guidelines of the Association of Christian
Schools International (ACSI), following is River’s
Edge Christian Academy’s Statement of Faith:
1. We believe
the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible,
authoritative, inerrant Word
of God (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21).
2. We believe
in the literal Biblical account of creation in
accordance with Genesis 1 and 2.
3. We believe
there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons – Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John
10:30).
4. We believe
in the deity of Christ (John 10:30,33)
His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke
1:35);
His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26);
His miracles (John 2:11);
His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3;
Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9);
His resurrection (John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4);
His Ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark
16:19); and
His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11;
Revelation 19:11)
5. We believe
in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the
Holy Spirit for salvation
because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature;
and that men are justified on the
single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ
and that only by God’s grace and
through faith alone are we saved and are kept by the
power of God unto eternal salvation
(John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8-9;
Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5).
6. We believe
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost;
they that are saved unto
the resurrection of life, and they that are lost
unto the resurrection of damnation (John
5:28-29).
7. We believe
in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I
Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).
8. We believe
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose
indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a Godly life (Romans 8:13-14; I
Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19-20;
Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:18). |
