National Bible College subscribes to the following
basic doctrines:
-
We believe that God is the one true and living
God existing as three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and that He
is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, unchangeable in His love, mercy, power,
wisdom and righteousness. (Is. 45:22; 40:25,26; Jn. 4:24; 2 Cor.13:14)
-
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the
Son of God; that at His first coming He became incarnate through His virgin
birth; that He is perfect both in His deity and humanity; that He arose
from the dead in his physical glorified body with which He is now seated
in heaven, making intercession for believers. We believe that His second
coming will be personal and premillennial and is imminent. (Jn.1:14-18;
1 Cor. 15; Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:13-18)
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit is equal in every
attribute of deity with God the Father and God the Son; that He performs
the miracle of the new birth in those receiving Christ as Saviour; that
He is resident now in believers; that He seals them unto the day of redemption;
and that He empowers them for service. 1 Cor. 12:12-13; 6:19; Eph. 4-30
Acts 1:5; Tit. 3:5)
-
We believe that the Bible is God's written revelation
to man, verbally inspired and inerrant in the original manuscripts. The
Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
(2 Tim.3:15-17; 2 Pet.1:20-21; Matt.5:18)
-
We believe that the true church is the body and
bride of Christ, composed of all born-again believers from Pentecost to
the return of Christ for the Church; and that the local church is a congregation
of believers existing for fellowship and edification, and for communicating
the gospel to all nations by means of Christian life and witness. (Eph.5:23-33; 1 Thess. 1:1-10; Acts 2:41-42; 1 Cor 12:13)
-
We believe that man was created in the image
of God, but through Adam's sin became alienated from God and is condemned
to eternal punishment. The only remedy for man's condition is salvation
by personal faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. (Jn. 3:15-18;
Eph. 1:7; Rom. 10: 9-10)
-
We believe that finite supernatural personal
beings exist, including both fallen and unfallen angels (demons). Satan,
the leader of the fallen angels, is the open and declared enemy of God
and man and is doomed to the Lake of Fire. (Heb. 1:4-14; Jude 6; Matt. 25:41;
Rev. 20:10)
