Truth for Troubled Youth Ministries

Doctrinal Statement
    We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God. We believe that the Word of God has been preserved without error down to every "jot and tittle". The Word of God is inerrant in all matters of religion, science, history, and any other subject it addresses. Only one English Bible can claim inerrancy. God has preserved His Word in the Authorized Version, commonly known as the King James Version. II Timothy 3:16; Psalms 12:6,7
    We believe in one God, eternally existing in trinity (3 persons): Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All are equal in deity, but different in function and essence. I John 5:7, John 4:24, John 1:1-3, 14; John 14:26
    We believe that Jesus is God incarnate, manifested in the flesh, and Savior of all mankind, based on their willingness to receive His blood atonement for their sin through belief (faith), which accompanies a change of attitude (repentance) about their sin, and trusting only in that blood to save their lost soul from Hell. We believe Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died a vicarious, substitutional death for all men on Calvary's cross. John 3:16-18; Ephesians 2:8,9; I Timothy 2:5, Romans 10:9, 10; 1 Peter 1:18, 19
    We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus, His bodily ascension to Heaven, and His bodily, imminent return for the bride, the church. We believe in the pre-tribulational rapture of the church, and the pre-millennial second coming of Christ to set up His kingdom where all the redeemed will rule and reign with Him. I Corinthians 15:3-6, 51-52; I Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Revelation 19:11-16
    We believe in a literal, burning Hell that God prepared for the Devil and his angels. It is the place of everlasting, conscious punishment of the unbelieving lost. The Devil is also a real being known as Satan, previously called Lucifer who is in constant opposition to God's program, and God's people. He is a powerful being, but not all-powerful. He is the "god of this world, and the prince of the power of the air." Luke 16:22-26; I Peter 5:8-9; James 4:7; II Corinthians 4:4
    We believe in a literal place called heaven where the saved shall enjoy everlasting life. It is a place where God's presence is manifested, where the angels reside, where the redeemed will one day go, where Christ makes intercession for the saints, and where dying saints go and enjoy the conscious presence of God, and from where Christ will come to judge the nations. II Corinthians 5:8; John 14:1-3
    We believe that the local church is God's plan for world evangelization in this age and is a called-out assembly of baptized believers, instituted for the purpose of worship, service, and fellowship. The local church is an indigenous and autonomous body (self-governing). There also exists a living organism known as the "body of Christ, or the bride of Christ" which consists of all blood-bought, born-again believers throughout the church age. Acts 2:41-42, 14:23; 20:28; I Corinthians 3:11, 12:28; Colossians 3:11, 15; Ephesians 2:18-22, 4:11-12, 5:23
    We believe in 2 scriptural ordinances for the church, not sacraments, and they do not bestow grace or represent a part of salvation. Ephesians 2:8,9 They are as follows:

The Lord's Supper - believers show forth the Lord's death till He comes again. The elements are unleavened bread and unfermented grape juice. I Corinthians 11:23-32
Believers Baptism - believers testify of their faith by total immersion in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and identifies the believer with and pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Romans 1:16; I Corinthians 1:17; Matthew 28:19

    We believe that all saved people are called into a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices and relationships or alliances. II Corinthians 6:14-18; II John 10, 11; II Thessalonians 3:6, 14; 5:22
    We believe that those who by faith receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit into the family of God, are adopted as sons, are the children of God, are heirs of God and joint-heirs of Jesus Christ, are kept by the power of God, can know that they are eternally saved, and cannot be plucked out of the Father's hand, (Eternal Security of the Believer). Ephesians 4:30; John 10:27-30; Jude 24; Ecclesiastes 3:14
    We believe in the opposition and preaching against all modernistic and humanistic philosophy of our time such as: Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Atheism, Liberalism, and other evils such as: Abortion, Euthanasia, Pornography, Homosexuality, so-called Women's Liberation, Evolution, Unisex philosophy or dress, Rock and Roll Music, and so-called Christian rock or comtemporary music. We also stand opposed and preach against religious heresies such as the Charismatic movement, Arminianism, Hyper-Calvinism, New Evangelicalism, Neo-Orthodoxy, New Age teaching, any Bible version other than the KJV (Authorized Version), and any other book, teaching, or philosophy that is condemned by God, or is in conflict with the truth of God's Word. I Timothy 4:1-2; II Timothy 4:2-3; Jude 3
