What We Believe

What We Believe

The Bible is the Word of God, written by men yet divinely inspired. 2 Timothy 3:16

Jesus is God. Isaiah 44: 6, Hebrews 1:8

Jesus is man. Hebrews 2:4

He is God in human flesh. Colossians 1:15

We believe in the Trinity as three distinct persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit; and yet there is only one God. Matthew 28:19, Matthew 3:16-17

We do not believe the Holy Spirit is simply a power or a force. He is God.

Jesus is the Creator of all things. Hebrews 1:2

He was born of a virgin. Isaiah 7:14

The purpose for His coming was His death on the cross as payment for our sins. Luke 9:56

He did not come as a social activist. His purpose was much higher. John 6:15 There is absolutely nothing we can do to make ourselves righteous in the sight of God. Nothing we do, even out of obedience to Him, will cause us to be accepted in His sight. Ephesians 2:8-9 We are saved by the shed blood of Christ and belief in His resurrection from the dead. We are saved through faith in what God has done for us through the death of His Son. We are saved by grace through faith and only by grace (unmerited favor) through faith. Romans 3:28 Jesus is going to return and set up His kingdom on earth. Luke 21:27

We adhere to the “Distinctives” of Calvary Chapel.
