THE FCPO STATEMENT OF FAITH
WE BELIEVE CONCERNING:

GOD:  There is one God, Holy, eternally
existing and manifesting himself to us in
three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
 God is merciful and loves us, but is
just and must punish sin.
John 14:6,10   Exodus 34:6,7    John 3:16

CHRIST: Jesus Christ is God incarnate.
 He was supernaturally conceived, born
of a virgin, was put to death by crucifixion
under Pontius Pilote, was raised from the
dead on the third day and now sits at the
Father's right hand from whence He is coming
again personally, bodily and visibly to this earth.
Luke 1:26,35    I Corinthians 15:3,4    John 1:1,2,14

HOLY SPIRIT:  The Holy Spirit is God.
 He indwells all believers, having
baptized them into the body of Christ
at the time of regeneration.
Romans 8:9     I Corinthians 12:13, 14
   Ephesians 4:4,5

THE BIBLE:  The scripture of the Old
and New Testament was verbally inspired
by God and inherent in the original writings,
and it is supreme and final authority
for our faith and life.
II Timothy 3:16,17    Peter 1:20,21

GRACE:  Eternal life is a free gift and
cannot be earned.  We are saved by grace
and not by our own works.
Ephesians 2:8,9    Romans 6:23

FAITH:  All those who by faith
receive Jesus Christ as their personal
Lord and Savior and who confess
Him as such before their fellowmen
become heirs to God and joint heirs
with Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:9,10    Ephesians 2:8,9
   Romans 8:16,17    John 1:12

MAN:  We are sinners.  By his death
upon the cross the Lord Jesus Christ
made a perfect atonement for sin,
redeeming us from the curse of the
law by becoming a curse in our place.
Romans 3:23    John 3:18    Galatians 3:13

JUDGMENT:  Those who reject the love
of God and the saving work of Christ will
be judged and punished for sin.  They will
be separated from God eternally.
John 16:7-11    Jude 14,15    John 3:36

If we meet and you forget me,
you have lost nothing,
but if you meet Jesus Christ
and forget Him
you have lost everything.
