1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are verbally inspired of God, and they are without error
in the original writings, and they are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who is eternally existent in three persons — Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, His death to pay the penalty for everyone’s sins,
His bodily resurrection, His exaltation at God’s right hand, and His personal, imminent, pretribulational and premillennial
return.
4. We believe that all have sinned and are therefore guilty before God and are under His condemnation.
5. We believe that all who by faith receive Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, therefore children of God and
eternally saved, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer to enlighten, guide, and enable the believer in life,
testimony, and service. We believe that God answers the prayers of His people and meets their needs according to
His purpose.
6. We believe that God gives spiritual gifts to all believers for the building up of the body of Christ. However, the
miraculous sign-gifts of the Spirit, such as tongues and healings, were limited to the early church.
7. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Glory and the
everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in hell.
8. We believe that all believers are called to a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices and alliances.
9. We believe that from the beginning with Adam and Eve, God ordained marriage as only between one man and one
woman. All sexual activity outside of this biblical definition of marriage, including homosexual practices, is in direct
contradiction to God’s Word and His intention for the institution of the home.
10. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female for His glory. These two
distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God, and the rejection of one’s biological
gender is a rejection of God’s decreed will and good plan for humanity and the individual.
Historicity of Genesis
Word of Life Bible Institute is committed to the historical and factual accuracy of the book of Genesis. Therefore, we teach a recent creation of the entire universe and all forms of life in the six, 24-hour days of the creation week.
We believe that Adam and Eve were the first man and woman and that all of mankind has descended from them and has inherited a sin nature from their fall into sin, resulting in a cursed creation.
We believe in a personal Satan who led some of the angels to rebel, enticed Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, and continues to oppose God’s program for human history.
We believe in a worldwide flood which explains the disappearance of certain species recorded in the fossil record, the subsequent development of mankind from Noah, and the creation of language groups and nations from God’s intervention at the Tower of Babel.
We believe that Satan’s attempt to overthrow God is doomed to fail and that the Lake of Fire has been prepared as a place of eternal conscious punishment for him, his demons, and all humans who reject Christ.
