At
Calvary Chapel we believe in all the fundamental doctrines of the
evangelical Protestant church. For example, we believe in the
inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the
inspired, infallible Word of God.
We Believe that the worship of God should be Spiritual.
Therefore: We remain flexible and yielded to the Holy
Spirit to direct our worship.
We Believe that the worship of God should be
Inspirational.
Therefore: We give a great place to music in our worship.
We Believe that the worship of God should be Intelligent.
Therefore: Our services are designed with great emphasis
upon teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He
should be worshipped.
We Believe that the worship of God is Fruitful.
Therefore: We look for His Love in our lives as the
supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.
Theological Issues:
We believe that God is eternally existent in three separate persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God the Father is the
personal, transcendent, and sovereign creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was
born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of
our sins by His vicarious death on the Cross, was bodily resurrected
by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of
God the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.
After He ascended to Heaven, Jesus poured out His Holy Spirit on the
believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach
the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers
today.
We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and
responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and
forgiveness of sin are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as
personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is
immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins
are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to
spend eternity with the Lord.
We believe in the proper Scriptural exercise of all the gifts of the
Holy Spirit in the Bible, the greatest gift of all being God's love.
We believe in a personal, pre-millenial, and pre-tribulation rapture
of the church. This motivates us to heartfelt worship, committed
service, diligent study of God's Word, regular fellowship with other
Christians, and participation in both adult baptism by immersion and
in partaking of the “Lord’s Supper”. |
