Calvary Bible Church

Our Beliefs

The Scriptures

We believe that every word in its original form of both the Old and New Testaments was God-breathed, and that these Scriptures are inerrant.

The Godhead

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Person and Work of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary; that He died as a sacrifice for the sins of all men, was buried, raised from the dead in a physical body, and ascended into heaven.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, who presently distributes speaking and serving gifts to the church. We believe, however, that sign gifts including miracles, healing, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues have ceased for the remainder of this dispensation.

The Depravity of Man

We believe that all men are sinners by nature and practice. We believe that the penalty for sin is spiritual, physical, and eternal death.

Salvation

We believe that all those who receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior are cleansed, through His shed blood, of all their sin and given eternal life at the moment they receive Him. We believe that every believer is eternally secure.

The Church

We believe that the universal Church of Jesus Christ is comprised of all believers in this dispensation.

Ordinances

We believe in baptism by immersion in water. We believe in observing the Lord's Supper as a means of commemorating the death of our Savior.

Eschatology

We believe that the church will be taken out of the world before the Tribulation Period. We believe in the visible, personal, and premillennial return of Christ with His saints after the Tribulation Period.

Satan

We believe that Satan is a person, and that he is the spiritual father of all who do not believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

Separation

We believe that all saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord, and that separation from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations is commanded of God.
