Alpha's Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.  We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return in power and glory.  We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as and Lord, and not as a result of good works.  We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a goodly life and to perform good works.  We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation.  We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
