Statement of Faith
The Bible:
Creation Truth Foundation holds to the unique, divine inspiration of the 66 canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given. They are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters, including science, history, morality, and theology [John 10:35, 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:16-21].
Special Creation:
The Creator God purposefully and specially created the existing space, mass, time continuum of the universe and all its basic systems and kinds of organisms in the six literal days of creation week [Genesis 1:1-2:3; Exodus 20:11; Acts 17:24-26; Romans 1:20].
Historicity:
The Bible is perfectly accurate in its record of primeval history [Genesis 5:1-32; I Chronicles 1:1-53; Luke 3:23-38], including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people [Genesis 1:26-30, 2:7-25, 3:20; Matthew 19:4-6], the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation [Genesis 3:1-24; Romans 5:12-14, 8:20-22; I Corinthians 15:21-22], the worldwide cataclysmic flood [Genesis 6:13-9:17; Matthew 24:37-39; Hebrews 11:7; I Peter 3:20-21; II Peter 2:5, 3:5-6], and the origin of nations and people groups divided by languages at the tower of Babel [Genesis 11:1-9; Deuteronomy 32:8].
God:
The triune Godhead is one eternal, transcendent, omnipotent, personal God existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit [Psalm 33:6-15 Isaiah 44:24; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; II Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 2:9].
Jesus Christ:
The person of God dwelling in the flesh came as Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God [Matthew 16:16; John 1:1-4, 14]. He is the Creator and Savior of the world [John 4:42; Colossians 1:15-17], born of a virgin [Matthew 1:22-23; Galatians 4:4], lived a perfect, sinless life [Hebrews 4:15], was crucified for the atonement of sins for all mankind [I John 2:2], physically arose from the dead [Matthew 28:1-10; Acts 2:24-32, 13:29-38; I Corinthians 15:1-8], and is coming back again [John 14:1-3; Revelation 22:12-21]. Through Him, and Him alone, is salvation found [John 14:4-6; Acts 4:10-12].
Redemption:
As a perfect, sinless image-bearer, Jesus Christ offered Himself as the substitutionary, atoning, redemptive sacrifice for the sin of the world [I John 2:2] through His literal physical death, burial, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven [Hebrews 9:11-14, 10:10-14].
Salvation:
Personal salvation from the eternal penalty of sin is provided by the grace of God [Ephesians 2:8] on the basis of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ [I Peter 1:3, 2:24], to be received through personal faith in His person, testimony [I John 5:4-13], and the working of God [I Corinthians 6:9-11; Colossians 2:9-14].
Holy Spirit:
The Spirit of God convicts [John 16:7-11], regenerates [John 3:3-8; Titus 3:5-6], indwells [Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19], seals [Ephesians 1:13], and fills those who yield to Him [Acts 4:31, 13:52; Ephesians 5:18].
Satan:
The malignant being called Satan exists and acts as deceiver, tempter, and accuser [John 8:44; II Corinthians 11:3-4; Revelation 12:9-10], for whom the place of eternal punishment was prepared, where all who die outside of Christ shall also be confined [Mathew 25:41].
Last Things:
The future, personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ to the earth to judge and purge sin and to consummate and fulfill His purposes in the works of creation and redemption with eternal rewards and punishments [Matthew 25:31-46].
