statement of faith

I think they put these points VERY well ~ http://www.cbeinternational.org/

We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, is reliable, and is the final authority for faith and practice.
     (final authority.  hhhmmmm.  like it)

We believe in the unity and trinity of God, eternally existing as three equal persons.
     (eternally existing.  like it)

We believe in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ.
     (full humanity!  I've never heard it put like that.  like it)

We believe in the sinfulness of all persons. One result of sin is shattered relationships with God, others, and self.
     (shattered relationship with self.  totally true.  like it)

We believe that eternal salvation and restored relationships are possible through faith in Jesus Christ who died for us, rose from the dead, and is coming again. This salvation is offered to all people.
     (and is coming again :) like it)

We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers.
     (the holy spirit is present with me right now.  like it)

We believe in the equality and essential dignity of men and women of all ethnicities, ages, and classes. We recognize that all persons are made in the image of God and are to reflect that image in the community of believers, in the home, and in society.
     (all persons are made in the image of God.  love it.  I would like to reflect that image a little better)

We believe that men and women are to diligently develop and use their God-given gifts for the good of the home, church, and society.
     (its a nice task to develop and use talents/gifts.  like it.  and I should point out that there are many more gifts than just a nice singing voice or a knack for folding bulletins)

We believe in the family, celibate singleness, and faithful heterosexual marriage as God's design.
     (family.  yes.  like it.  totally God's design.  nothing has felt more right)

We believe that, as mandated by the Bible, men and women are to oppose injustice.
     (absolutely.  like it.  but wonder how many injustices I've actively participated in.  I could probably use some work in this department)
