SON-net Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the Divinely inbreathed, infallible,
inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
WE BELIEVE that there is one God, externally existent in three Divine
persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. (The
Holy Trinity). One of the marks of a cult is the denial of the
Trinity. The other mark of a cult is to deny salvation by faith
alone apart from works.
WE BELIEVE that all men are sinners in need of a Saviour and that
salvation is ONLY found in the Lord Jesus Christ. All mankind
needs a Saviour. No one can save himself. Jesus is the Saviour
to all who reach out to Him in repentance and faith.
WE BELIEVE in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, His
unqualified deity (He is God in human flesh), His sinless
humanity and perfect life, the eternal all-sufficiency of His
atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascention to the
Father's right hand, and His personal future return to this
earth in power and glory to rule.
WE BELIEVE in the Blessed Hope - the pre-tribulation rapture of the
Church which could happen at any time. We believe that God is blessing
and fulfilling prophecies related to the nation of Israel and end time
events. We also reject other prophetic views that seek to steal the
blessed hope of the rapture from the Christian or those that seek to
nullify God's eternal promises to the Nation of Israel.
WE BELIEVE that justification is a judical act of God on the believer's
behalf solely on the merits of Christ, and that regeneration by the
power of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
Man cannot save himself. He is a lost sinner in need of a Saviour.
WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift of God received with a repentant
heart and that salvation cannot be earned or merited by good works.
WE BELIEVE in Christ's Lordship over the Church, the observance of the
ordinances of Christian baptism by immersion for believers and the
Lord's Supper. Both baptism and the Lord's supper have no part in
salvation but are performed in obedience by those who are already saved.
WE BELIEVE in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in heaven and the
eternal doom of the unregenerate in the lake of fire. When a person
dies he will either spend his eternity in Heaven or in Hell. His
eternal destiny is determined on his acceptance or rejection of the
Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation He freely offers.
