North Myrtle Beach Christian School

Doctrinal Statement

The following statement, based on the historical Christian view that the Scriptures were inspired by God and without error in the original writings, is the basic doctrinal position on which North Myrtle Beach Christian School operates.  Faculty members and administrators, while free to interpret Scriptures on secondary doctrine with diverging views, must share a common acceptance of this basic statement of faith.

The Bible is the inspired word of God, the written record of His supernatural revelation, final in its content, and without any errors in its teachings.

All men in their natural state are lost, alienated from God, spiritually dead; “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23),

Salvation is only by grace, a free gift of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus, who died for our sins according to the Scriptures (I Cor. 15:3).  Those who thus receive Christ by faith have their sins forgiven (Eph. 1:7), their hearts cleansed (Acts 15:9), are born of the spirit, become children of God (John 1:12, 13), are made new creatures in Christ (II Cor. 5:7).

God is one God, who reveals Himself in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Jesus Christ, as the Scriptures affirm, is the Son of God and Son of man, was born of a virgin, and is himself very God.  The Scriptures also declare the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit.

Our Lord Jesus rose from the dead in the same body that was laid in the tomb.  (John 20:25-27).  The bodies of all believers will be raised from the dead, and they will receive an incorruptible body like unto His glorious body (I Cor. 15:23; Phil. 3:21).  All other men shall be raised unto “the resurrection of judgment” (John 5:28, 29).

Christians, born of the Spirit, are to live the new life in the present power of the Spirit.  “If we live by the Spirit let us also walk” (Gal. 5:16-25; Col. 2:6).  The Christian’s responsibility and his normal attitude of life is yield himself to God (Rom. 6:13), trusting God to keep him.

Christian “living” includes Christian service, the winning of souls around us, and the preaching of the Gospel in the uttermost parts of the earth.  In carrying on this work there is needed the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, which is granted to every believer as he yields and trusts (Acts 1:8; I Cor. 12:7; Eph. 6:18, 19).

Jesus Christ will come again to earth the second time (Heb. 9:28), personally (Acts 1:11; Col. 2:9) and visibly (Matt. 26:64; Rev. 1:7).

I have read and accept the school’s doctrinal statement.
