The Master’s Academy Doctrinal Statement

(Hover over scriptures to view them)

 

  • We believe that there is;
    • One living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons:
      • The Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:18-20)
    • They are equal in power and glory; they are one God.
    • God created all, upholds all, and governs all things.

 

  • We believe Jesus;
    • Is God (Col. 2:9)
    • Was born of a virgin (Luke 1:33-35),
    • Lead a sinless life (2 Cor. 5:21),
    • Died a substitutionary death on the cross,
    • Rose physically from the grave (Acts 5:30),
    • Ascended into heaven (Luke 24:51),
    • Is our eternal high priest,
    • Will personally return in power and glory.
    • Jesus is everlasting to everlasting, no beginning or end. (John 1:1-4).

 

  • We believe that the Holy Bible,
    • Consisting of the Old and New Testaments, totaling only 66 books, no more or no less
    • Is the only Word of God, fully inspired without error (Deut.4:2).
    • It is infallible and authoritative.
    • The Word of God is our foundation and it is by His Word that our actions should be governed.
    • The Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures.

 

  • We believe the Holy Spirit;
    • Indwells every believer
    • Is received when a believer first puts his faith in Jesus Christ
    • He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.
    • By the Spirit’s indwelling, the believer is sealed until the day of redemption, and by whose filling, the believer is empowered to live a godly life (John 5:24).
    • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12-14.)

 

  • We believe that all people are sinners and as such are in condemnation separated from God. However, Jesus came so that all could be reborn and saved by grace alone through faith in Him and by confessing His name as Lord and Savior of their lives (John 3:1-8).

 

  • We believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part of the Body of Christ.

 

  • We believe that water baptism is done in obedience to the command of Christ and is an outward expression of the inward work of salvation (Acts 19:3-5).

 

  • We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell. All those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord, and those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord in Hell (Matthew 25:34, 41, 46 and 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9).

 

  • We believe marriage is a union between one genetic man and one genetic woman (Genesis 2:21-24, 1Cor. 7:1-2, Hebrews 13:4, Leviticus 18:22, and Matthew 22:30)
