AGAPE YOUTH MINISTRY'S STATEMENT OF FAITH

• We believe there is one true Eternal God who exists in three personages: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• We believe the Bible, consisting of 66 Books, and is the inspired Word of God, which is completely true and trustworthy, and that the Bible serves as our perfect guide.
• We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was virgin-born; that He lived a sinless life and that He shed His blood as the perfect sacrificial substitute to atone for our sins.
• We believe that Jesus Christ was crucified, died and was buried, and was raised from the dead on the third day; and that He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of Almighty God.
• We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict the lost, seal the believer until the time of Christ's return, and to allow and equip believers to let Christ spiritually live through them. And that, the Holy Spirit is our Counselor, whom the Father has sent in the name of Jesus, to teach us all things and remind us of everything Jesus has said.
• We believe that every person is born with a sinful nature, is spiritually dead and cannot please God until Jesus Christ gives him or her His gift of salvation and eternal life.
• We believe salvation from sin, spiritual death, and hell is given by God's grace (unmerited pardon). Salvation must be received by faith alone, apart from any human performance or merit. It is a free gift of God to anyone who personally places his or her confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His finished work on the Cross.
