About LifeStone Ministries

Statement of Faith

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by
God, are inerrant in the original writings, are the Word of God, and the final authority in
faith and conduct.

We believe in one God, the Creator of man and all things, eternally existing in three
Persons in a threefold relationship, that of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and
is God incarnate, the God-Man.

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby
incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God;
that Adam’s sin is imputed to the whole race of mankind; that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature and are sinners before God in thought, word, and deed.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a
substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe on Him are freely justified before God
and stand before Him accepted in the character and merit of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, in His ascension into heaven, and
that in His present glorified body He is the Head of the church, the Lord of the individual
believer, the High Priest over the house of God, and the Advocate in the family of God.

We believe in the personal, imminent, pretribulational, and premillennial second coming of
Christ; first to receive His own to Himself, and later to set up His earthly kingdom and to
reign over redeemed Israel and all nations; that is, to bring peace and blessing to the
whole world.

We believe that all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour are born again of
the Holy Spirit and Word of God, receive the Holy Spirit and a new nature, and also are
baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ.

We believe that God is the spiritual Father of only those who trust His Son, Jesus Christ,
as Saviour, and that only those saved through faith in Christ are spiritual brothers.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting
blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved.
