Overview
Bible.org is a broadly evangelical
website with free access to the
We believe there are core essential
beliefs that are fundamental to our faith and we strive to insure all of our
resources remain faithful and consistent to those foundational biblical
beliefs. We also understand the broader doctrinal issues we deal with at
bible.org will have a range of interpretations within the Christian community
and believe we should grant one another grace in interpretations of the
non-essential beliefs. In fact, our resources are here to help one another
establish a biblically sound theology and to grow and mature in our Christian faith
and understanding of God and His Word in a community of grace.

Here
are our essential beliefs at bible.org
The
Bible
We believe the Bible to be the inspired
Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of
His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all
Christian faith and life. When we say inspired and without error, we mean we
believe this to be verbal, plenary, infallible, and inerrant throughout.
God
the Father
We believe in one God, Creator of all
things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
God
the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God
and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary. He died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins according to the
Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven,
where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now sits as our High Priest
and Advocate.
God
the Holy Spirit
We believe that the ministry of the Holy
Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age to convict men,
regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the
believer for godly living and service.
Mankind
We believe that man was created in the
image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through personal
faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and
spiritual life be obtained.
Substitutionary
Death of Christ
We believe that the substitutionary death
of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification
and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ
through faith are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.
The
Church
We believe that the true Church is
composed of all such persons who through personal faith in Jesus Christ have
been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of
Christ of which He is Head.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord
and Head of the Church, and that every local church has the right under Christ
to decide and govern its own affairs.
Eschatology
We believe in the bodily resurrection of
the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of
the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
