9.0 Statement of Faith of Jubilee Training Institute
All Staff and Students are required to sign agreement with the following: Statement of FaithWe Believe...
1. In one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This God is the creator and sustainer of all things.
2. God in revealing Himself inspired the Holy Scriptures so they are entirely trustworthy and have supreme authority in all matters of doctrine, faith and conduct.
3. All people were made for fellowship with God but have disobeyed Him, so all people have become sinners, guilty in His sight and alienated from Him.
4. In our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh yet truly human, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. Even though He remained sinless, He took on Himself the sin of the world and died on the cross of Calvary as our representative and substitute. God showed His love for all people and provided the only way for them to be forgiven from the guilt penalty, set free from the power of sin and reconciled fully to Him through the atoning death, shed blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
5. In the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, His ascension into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father, in His personal physical return and the judgement of all the world by Him.
6. The Holy Spirit brings people to individually trust Christ, repent of their sins and be baptised in water as Jesus commanded. He lives in them, and develops their new lives in Christ, thus enabling the believer to live a holy life, and to work and witness for Him in the fellowship of the Church which is the Body of Christ.
7. The Holy Spirit equips the Church to carry out God's purposes through the baptism of the believer with the Holy Spirit as evidenced by spiritual fruit and gifts.
8. In the resurrection of the body, the eternal blessedness of God's presence of the righteous, and the eternal punishment and separation from God of the wicked.
