Statement of Faith
I.T. Believes...
The sixty-six books of both the Old and New Testaments comprise the inspired
Word
of God and are without error
in the original writings. The Bible is God's complete written revelation
for the salvation
of man and is the final authority regarding Christian life and faith.
There is one uncreated eternal God, eternally existent in three persons,
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, was born of a virgin, led a
sinless life, died on the cross and rose again bodily on the third day.
Because He ever lives, He alone is our High Priest and advocate.
All mankind is sinful by nature. This condition makes it impossible to
earn his exaltation through good works. Good works however, are a by-product
of saving faith, not a pre-requisite to be saved.
Mankind is saved by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Believers
are justified by His shed blood and shall be saved from wrath through
Him.
Christ's Church is made up of individuals who have recognized their lost
state and placed their trust in the redeeming work of Christ for their
salvation.
Jesus Christ will return again for His own. All true believers will reign
with Him throughout eternity.
There will be a bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust; the
just to everlasting life, the unjust to everlasting damnation.
