Statement of Faith [ Back to top ]

INSP communicates its Statement of Faith as follows:

• We believe that both Old and New Testaments constitute the Divinely-Inspired Word of God, which is inerrant in the originals.
• We believe in one God existing eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
• We believe that the Holy Spirit came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, comfort, and seal those who believe in Jesus Christ.
• We believe that man is totally depraved, and that of himself he is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
• We believe that salvation is the gift of God, that salvation is available to every person by grace, and that salvation is received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose atoning Blood was shed on the Cross for the forgiveness of sins.
• We believe in the water baptism of Believers, symbolizing the Believer's union in the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• We believe in the observance of the Lord's Supper to commemorate the sacrifice of our Savior for all mankind.
• We believe that the life of the Believer is to be separated from the world by consistent conduct before God and man, and is to be in the world as a life-giving light.
• We believe in the personal, visible, and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
