STATEMENT OF FAITH: 1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, and
only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (II
Timothy3:15; II Peter 1:21) 2. We believe there is one God,
eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
(Genesis 1:1;Matthew 28:19; John 10:30) . 3. We believe in the
deity of Christ (John 10:33) ; His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14;
Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35) ; His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews
7:26) ; His miracles (John 2:11) ; His vicarious and atoning death
(I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9) ; His resurrection
(John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4) ; His ascension to the right hand
of the Father (Mark 16:19) ; His personal return in power and glory
(Acts 1:11;Revelation 19:11) . 4. We believe that all people sin
and can be saved only by God’s grace through faith in Christ
crucified and raised from the dead (Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, I
Corinthians 15:1-5) , that such are justified freely through the
redemption that came by Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24, Ephesians 1:7) ,
that unless one is born again, of water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3-7) , that repentance is an
essential part of true faith (Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3-5, Acts 20:21) ,
that the outward way of demonstrating one’s inward faith and
repentance and the union with Christ that results is through
immersion in water (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-4) . 5.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they
that are saved unto the resurrection of life,and they that are lost
unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29) . 6. We believe
God created the sacrament of marriage to be the union of one man
and one woman and is a reflection of Christ's relationship to his
church (Ephesians 5:25-27) . 7. We believe that God wonderfully
created each person as distinctly male or female. These two
distinct, complimentary genders together reflect the image and
nature of God (Genesis 1:27) . 8. We believe that all human life is
sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of
inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies,
the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other
stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are
therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Ps.
139). 9. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13;Galatians 3:26-28)
. 10. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life
(Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19-20;
Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:18) . 11. We believe that Christians'
top priorities are the Great Commandment and the Great Commission:
that we should seek for ourselves and our students that we love the
Lord with all our being and love our neighbor asourselves and seek
to make disciples of the Lord Jesus in all the world
(Matthew22:36-40; Matthew 28:18-20) . Final Authority for Matters
of Belief and Conduct This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the
extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and
infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning
truth, morality and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and
final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Portland
Christian School’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy and
discipline, our Board of Directors is the final interpretive
authority on the Bible’s application . QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Agreement and consent to School's Statement of Faith 60 College
