Our Beliefs (The Basics)
CBC is committed to the fundamental, historic Christian truths recorded in God’s inerrant revelation—the Old and New Testaments. The most foundational beliefs are these:
- The Trinity. God exists in three eternal, co-equal persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- The Person of Christ. Full deity and full humanity are forever united in one sinless, virgin-born person, the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.
- The Work of Christ. The death of Christ served as a perfect, God-satisfying, substitutionary payment of the penalty for the sins of the world. His bodily resurrection guaranteed the hope of life eternal for all who believe in Him.
- Personal Salvation. One receives God’s forgiveness, deliverance from eternal separation from God and the free gift of eternal life when one places complete, personal trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as the only and sufficient Savior from sin.
- Revelation. God has revealed Himself and His will through the inerrant, divinely-inspired Old and New Testaments alone.
