Welcome to Longview Church of Truth

Statement of Faith

• We believe the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of the living God. The Bible is the final authority on all matters of life, faith and practice.

• We believe that 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 the 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 in His personal return in power and glory.

• We believe that salvation is an act of God’s saving grace by the work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating and converting the hearts of men by His free gift of saving faith.

• We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ, the eternal damnation in a literal hell of the wicked, and everlasting life with the living God for the righteous.

• We believe that there is but one head of the Church, the Lord Jesus Christ, and that is the responsibility of the Church and its institutions to maintain His Lordship over their activities and not submit that right to any individual, corporate body, governmental agency or head of the state, as long as we conduct ourselves as ambassadors of Christ and live as lawful citizens.

• We believe that every area of the life is to be the subject to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We adhere to a world and life view which seeks to make the Lord Jesus Christ preeminent in all things.

• We believe that the term marriage has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God’s command is that there be no sexual intimacy outside of or apart from marriage between a man and a woman.

• We believe that God wonderfully foreordained and immutably created each person as either male or female in conformity with their biological sex. These two distinct yet complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.
