Do you have a statement of faith?
We believe the Old and New Testaments to be the complete, verbally-inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe in the statement of faith as discribed in the Nicene Creed;
We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.
We believe man was created innocent and pure, that Adam fell through the sin of disobedience; therefore, all are in need of redemption.
We believe that salvation is by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, a free gift of God apart from works, that all who repent (turning from sin to God’s ways) and receive Jesus are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become the children of God. We believe that true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.
Are you associated with a specific denomination?
No. Salt and Light is a non-profit organizations made of up of believers from all several different Christian backgrounds.
