-
I believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God,
and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are the supreme and final authority in
faith and life.
-
I believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
I believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of Mary, a virgin, and
is true God and true man.
-
I believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred
not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and
that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and are sinners in thought, word and
deed.
-
I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for my sins according to the Scriptures as a
representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified
on the ground of His shed blood.
-
I believe in the "Eternal Security" of the believer; that it is impossible for one born into
the family of God ever to be lost.
-
I believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into
heaven, and in His present Life there as High Priest and Advocate.
-
I believe in "that blessed hope" - the personal, premillennial, pretribulational and imminent
return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, when the Church will be "gathered together
unto Him."
-
I believe in the literal fulfillment of the prophesies and promises of the Scriptures which
foretell and assure the future regeneration and restoration of Israel as a nation.
-
I believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy
Spirit and thereby become children of God.
-
I believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness
of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
-
I believe that the Scriptural ordinances of the Church are Baptism and the Lord's Supper,
and are to be administered by the local church, and Baptism, by immersion, should be
administered to believers only as a symbol of their belief in the death, burial and
resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and as a testimony to the world of that belief and of
their death, burial and resurrection with Him, and that the Lord's Supper would be
partaken of by believers only to show forth His death, until He comes.
Re: Articles of Faith: 8, 9 and 12
Staff can be hired by Timothy Academy if they hold differing positions on articles 8, 9, and/or 12 of The Articles of Faith. We know that there are believers who are not premillennial in their eschatology, and that there are different interpretations of Christian baptism that believers hold. We request that if your position on any of the above articles does vary from the school's doctrinal position, please inform us verbally and in writing as to what your beliefs are.
