We believe it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word which clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Rom 13:13, 14 Gal 5:13 Titus 2:11-15). Salvation: We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (Eph 2:8-10 John 1:12 Eph 1:7 I Peter 1:18-19).Įternal Security and Assurance of Believers: We believe that all the redeemed are kept by God’s power, and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30 Rom 8:1, 38, 39 I Cor 1:4-8 I Peter 1:5). The Total Depravity of Man: We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that through Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God and that man is totally depraved, and of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Gen 1:26,27 Rom 3:22, 23, 5:12 Eph 2:1-3, 12). The Scriptures: We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally inspired word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and Godbreathed (II Tim 3:16, 17 II Peter 1:20,21 Matt 5:18 John16:12,13). The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment and that He is the Supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption (John 16:8-11 II Cor 3:6 I Cor12:12-14 Rom 8:9 Eph 5:18). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9, 10 Heb 7:25, Heb 9:24 Rom 8:34 I John 2:1-2). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Rom 3:24 I Peter 2:24 Eph 1:7 I Peter :3-5). The Person and Work of Christ: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man (John 1:1,2,14 Luke 1:35). These elements include: the singing of His praise in Psalms, Hymns, & Spiritual Songs, the public reading of the Scriptures, giving thanks and offering petitions in corporate prayer, the giving of offerings for the support and service of His kingdom, and the expository and applicatory preaching and teaching of the Scriptures.Ĭelebration of the Lord’s Supper occurs the last Sunday of each month. The Godhead: We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections (Deut 6:4 II Cor 13:14). Our public meetings for worship are comprised of the elements prescribed for us to observe by the Lord of the church, the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Scriptures teach that believer’s, upon surrendering to Christ, are then to be baptized by immersion as an act of the obedience to the decree of Christ. We believe that the Scriptures teach that we as sinners, and therefore alienated from God apart from His intervention, can only be saved from our sins and His righteous judgement by His grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, and that this salvation is revealed to us through the Scriptures alone.
Our faith rests solely and ultimately in Christ, our Savior, Intercessor, and High Priest as revealed in the Word of God – the Bible. We are united together as a fellowship of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ by our mutual faith in the things revealed by God. We will seek to be a God-centered, Christ-exalting, Spirit Filled and Scripture Driven congregation, which grows under Christ, because of the activity of each and every member as they put their gifts and talents into service, for the Glory of God and the extension of Christ’s Kingdom on earth, particularly in South Florida, where we are located.Ĭornerstone Bible Church is located in Miami, Florida.
