STATEMENT OF FAITH

At Full Armor Christian Academy, we believe that we must be doctrinally sound and that this doctrine must be founded in the Word of God. Therefore, we have adopted the following philosophy and doctrinal statement:

One God
We believe that there is one God, limitless in knowledge and sovereign in power, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; John 10:30; Psalm 139:1-6; Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 46:10; John 21:17; Jeremiah 32:17; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28; II Corinthians 6:18; Ephesians 3:20; Revelation 1:8; John 15:26; Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 8:6)

Holy Bible
We believe that the Bible is the divine revelation, authoritative, infallible, complete Word of God, and that it is the final authority in matters of faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 3:5-6)

Deity of Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of 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, where He now acts as our mediator and advocate. (Matthew 1:18-25; Matthew 16:16; Hebrews 4:14-15; John 5:1-9; 1 Peter 2:24; Luke 24:36-43; Acts 1:9-11)

Creation
We believe the Genesis account of creation is a literal, historical record of the direct acts of God. (Genesis chapter 1-11)

Salvation
We believe that man is sinful by nature, and that man is justified by God’s grace through faith, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and that man would live eternally with Christ. (Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23-25; Acts 16:31; Titus 3:4-7; John 3:16; Acts 4:12)

Christian Service
We believe that all believers should be actively serving God, fulfilling the purpose that God has for them. (Ephesians 2:10; John 15:5; Philippians 4:13)

Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling of all believers enables them to live godly lives. (John 16:7-8; I Corinthians 3:16)

Return of Jesus Christ and Judgment
We believe in the personal imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His own and in the resurrection of both the saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost, unto the resurrection of the damnation, coming again personally and visibly to set up His kingdom and to judge. (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Hebrews 9:28; II Thessalonians 1:7-10; Matthew 25:31-36)

Heaven and Hell
We believe that heaven is the place of eternal blessedness for the saved and that hell is the place of eternal conscious punishment for the lost. (Revelation 20:11-21:8; John 5:28-29; Matthew 25:36) We believe that Satan is real and powerful, although a defeated enemy of Jesus Christ. (Job 6-12)

Obligation of Each Believer
We believe that it is the obligation of the believer to witness by deed and word to those truths and to proclaim the Gospel to the entire world. (Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:16-20)
