What Does Bethany First Church Believe?
Our Beliefs
We are a community of Christians journeying together in the Nazarene Wesleyan tradition.
We unashamedly believe that we are called to share the good news of life in Jesus Christ with every person in our communities.
-
We believe in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
-
We believe that human beings are born with a fallen nature, and are, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually
-
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
-
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
-
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
