Statement of Faith Rainier Christian
Schools was founded and functions upon the basic fundamental principles of
the Word of God, and it espouses the historic Christian view of life as
presented in the Bible. The
following statements of faith and practice are held by Rainier Christian
Schools. 1.
We believe the Bible to be the God breathed, verbally inspired and
only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God, the final authority
for faith and life. (II
Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1: 20-21) 2.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1, John 10:30, John
10:37-38) 3.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning
death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension
to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and
glory. (Isa. 7:14, Matt. 1:23, Luke 1:35, Heb. 4:15, Heb. 7:23-25, John
2:11, Heb. 9:12, Eph. 1:7-8, Col. 1:13-14, John 11:25, Acts 1:11, Rev.
19:11-16) 4.
We believe that man is justified on the single ground of faith in
the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God’s grace, and through
faith alone we are saved; and that man is exceedingly sinful by nature and
that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential and an absolute
necessity for his salvation. (Rom. 3:10, 19, 23 & 24, John 3:16-19,
John 5:24, Eph. 2:4-10, Tit. 3:5-6) 5.
We believe in the sanctifying ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose
indwelling, filling and empowering the
Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (I Pet. 1:2, John 16:13-15,
Acts 1:8, Eph. 1:13-14, Eph. 5:18b, Eph. 4:30, I Cor. 3:16, I Cor:
6:19-20, Rom. 8:9-11) 6.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost,
those who are saved eternal life and those who are lost eternal damnation.
(John 5:28-29, Rev. 20:11-15) 7.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus
Christ. (I Cor. 12:12-13, Eph. 4:1-6, Gal. 3:26-28) 8.
We believe in the creation of man, who has stewardship over all
things, by the direct act of God. (Gen. 1:26-28, Gen. 5:1b-2, Col.
1:16-17) |
