			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SCRIPTURE</p>
<p>We believe in the 66 canonized and commonly recognized books of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:19-21; 1 Thess. 2:13)<br />
THE GODHEAD</p>
<p>We believe in the one triune God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit co-eternal in being, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14)<br />
THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST</p>
<p>We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (John 1:2; Luke 1:35)</p>
<p>We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead.  (1 Cor. 15:3-4; 1 Pet. 2:24; Eph. 1:7)</p>
<p>We believe the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, where He is now exalted at the right hand of God, and ministers as our High Priest and Intercessor. (Acts 1:9-10; Heb. 4:14, 7:25; 1 John 2:1)</p>
<p>THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT</p>
<p>We believe the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, and who regenerates, indwells, enlightens and empowers the saved. (John 16:8; 1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 1:13-14)<br />
DEPRAVITY</p>
<p>We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and become sinners in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:26; Rom. 3:23; 5:14; Eph. 2:1-3)<br />
SALVATION</p>
<p>We believe that eternal salvation is solely the gift of God, and that all who in sincere contrition repent of their sins, believe the gospel and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith alone are born again of the Holy Spirit.  (John 3:3-5; Titus 3:5; Acts 2:38; Eph. 2:8-10)<br />
SECOND COMING</p>
<p>We believe in the personal, imminent return of Christ in the air for His Saints. (1 Thess. 4:13-18)</p>
<p>JUDGEMENT AND THE ETERNAL STATE</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20" title="baby" src="http://www.koinoniachurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/baby-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. (John 5:28; Matt. 25:46; Rev. 20:11-15)</p>
