Livingston Fellowship Statement of Faith

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God, revealing the heart and purpose of God to the world.
  1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16.

• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.

• We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay for the sins of the world, Who rose from the dead, returned to power at the right hand of God and will return again for His bride. Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.

• We believe that all persons everywhere are lost and are separated from God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. By grace and through faith in Him, expressed through repentance of sin and submission to His Lordship, we experience that salvation.

• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal punishment and separation from God. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the church. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23.
