Statement of Faith
BluePetra Ministry affirms the following core convictions, held in common with historic, evangelical Christianity.
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible - the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments - is the inspired, authoritative word of God, without error in what it teaches, and the final rule for faith and life.
God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He now reigns and intercedes for His people.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at the moment of salvation, seals them for the day of redemption, and empowers them to live a life that honors God.
Humanity and Sin
We believe every person is created in the image of God and worthy of dignity, yet all have sinned and are separated from God, unable to save themselves by their own effort or good works.
Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ - not by works, so that no one may boast.
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all who trust in Him, called together to worship God, build one another up, and make the gospel known to the world.
The Return of Christ
We believe Jesus Christ will return visibly and bodily to judge the living and the dead, and to establish His eternal kingdom.
This statement summarizes what we teach and believe; it does not replace Scripture itself as our final authority.
