Chisholm Trail Cowboy Church Statement of Faith

Beliefs
1.  Doctrine of Salvation
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died for our sins and rose from the grave.  All those who personally accept Christ are therefore saved and are a new creation.

John 3:16
2 Corinthians 5:17
Galatians 2:20

2.  The Bible
The Bible, all sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, are our authority in faith and life.  It is an inspired record of God's words, dealings and revelations to humankind.  It is infallible in every detail that it teaches.

3.  The Trinity
We believe in one God, His only Son, and the Holy Spirit.

4. Humankind
All humanity is created in the image of God, but humankind willfully sinned and consequently God separated Himself from sin.  We are all sinners who need to be saved by grace through faith.

Genesis 1:26-27
Genesis 3:6-7
Romans 5:12
Ephesians 2:8-10
