Statement of Faith

      The following statement for Carroll County Christian Academy concurs with the statement of faith of Carrollton Baptist Temple.

      We believe the whole Bible to be the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God and that it is our sole authority and final appeal in matters of faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21) We also hold that the Word of God is preserved perfectly in the King James Version and thus use it for all instruction.

      We believe there is only one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that these have precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfection and are worthy of the same love, confidence, and obedience. (Matthew 28:18-19; II Cor. 13:14)

      We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ; that He is the only begotten Son of God; that He was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died for our sins, arose bodily from the grave, ascended to Heaven; and that He will return visibly to the earth. We believe that He is the Saviour of all who put their trust in Him. (Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 1:13-19; Heb. 4:14-16)

      We believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit; that He is equal to God the Father and the Son, and of the same nature. We believe His holy work includes the conviction and conversion of sinners and that He seals, teaches, guides, sanctifies, and empowers the believers.(John 14:16, 17, 26; John 16:7-15; Acts 2)

      We believe that in order to obtain eternal life one must be born again by the Spirit of God. We believe that this experience comes only through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 3:3; Acts 20:21)

      We believe that eternal life is our present, permanent possession when we become a believer. Believers are united to Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. (Phil.1:6; Eph. 1:13, 14; I Peter 1:15)

      We believe in the literal reality of heaven and hell. (John 14:1-3; Rev. 20:15 & 21:28)
