Doctrinal Statement
The full and detailed statement of faith for Girls’ Heart Point is available upon request. The following shortened doctrinal statement summarizes Biblical truth that historically and doctrinally has been regarded as essential to the Christian faith. This Doctrinal Statement is the fundamental, common ground on which we ask our leaders, workers, speakers and those networking with us to stand.
The Scriptures: We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16), and that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant in the original writings and are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
The Godhead: We believe that the Godhead exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three persons are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections.
The Lord Jesus Christ: We believe in His eternal existence as God; His incarnation and virgin birth; His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin; His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead; His present ministry of intercession in heaven; and His personal, future return to earth.
The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, convicts men of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals and sets apart believers unto a holy life, that He keeps and empowers believers day by day, that He is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Guide for daily living.
Man: We believe that man was created innocent and pure and that Adam fell through the sin of disobedience. Therefore all men are corrupted in body, soul and spirit, and all men need redemption.
Salvation: We believe that salvation is by grace, a free gift of God apart from works; salvation involves repentance, a turning from one’s own way to God’s way; salvation is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; all who receive Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become the children of God, and true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.
The Church: We believe in the building up of the local church, which is the body of Christ, by serving responsibly and wholeheartedly, using the spiritual gift(s) that we possess and our talents to spur one another on in our walks with Jesus Christ who is the head of the church.
The Future: We believe in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth; in the bodily resurrection of the just to eternal abode in the glory of God’s presence, and in the bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment.
