We
here at Servant Chat follow the teachings of various denominations. The
beliefs outlined below do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of our entire
staff, only the beliefs of the Core staff and founding members. We believe
there is but one God, creator of all things and the ruler of all he created.
His law supersedes all other laws created and enforced by man.
We believe the Son of God, Jesus, was born of a virgin, lived his life
teaching God's truth, died by crucifixion, was buried, that on the third day
he was raised from the dead, and he now sits at the right hand of God
awaiting the day when he returns to reign with his Church. We believe Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah, and the
only way to eternal salvation.
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers in Christ and acts as the
guiding force in our daily lives. We believe that through the Holy Spirit, all
believers are granted certain gifts that enable us to carry out God's will for
our lives and to accomplish his plans and will.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God
and is inerrant in all that it teaches.
We believe the church is the Body of Christ and includes all who believe in
the redeeming power of the blood of Christ regardless of the denomination
they choose to follow. We believe no one denomination has exclusive
knowledge of God's truth and no denomination is 100% correct in all it's
teachings. We believe the true unity of believers and
full knowledge of the truth will only occur at the second coming of Christ.
We believe all human life has value. We believe that our job is to reach out
to all of mankind and attempt to lift each and every person up to the love
of God. We believe that, no matter how bad a person may behave, there is
always hope they can be shown how to live a better life. We believe the only time we should give up hope in a person
becoming a better person is upon death.
We believe God is a loving God and that any word or deed can be forgiven if
we give the sin over to the Lord. We believe that
repentance, the turning away from living in sinful behavior, is the only way in
which we can truly be changed into the image of God.
We believe there can be no compromise on the basic truths of Christ. We
believe there is no acceptable way to live in the ways of the secular world
without compromising the ways of God. We believe that while we live in and
interact with this world we are truly citizens of the Kingdom of God. We
believe the
Bible provides full instructions as to how Christians are to behave within the
culture in which we live. We believe we are to show love and respect for all of
mankind, whether or not we consider them our enemies. We believe that only
through a loving and kind attitude can we reach those we're sent to teach. |
