WHAT WE BELIEVE
Borden Church of Christ is a Restoration Movement Church.
What that means is that the Bible is our one and only source of authority; when it speaks we speak, when it is silent, we are silent.
Because the Bible is our only source for authority, all that we believe and stand for
are found within the pages of the Old and New Testament.
Within the pages of Scripture there are certain tenants of our faith that we stand on.
A part of these tenants are as follows:
1. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16)
2. We believe that God created the universe and everything in it as chronicled in the book of Genesis. (Genesis 1:1 , Romans 1:20)
3. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that became wholly human, lived a perfect sinless life, died a sinners death on the cross, and on the third day rose from the dead. (Matthew 28:6 , Colossians 2:9)
4. We believe that all men have sinned and therefore have fallen short of the glory of God and therefore are subject to the penalty of
death. (Romans 3:23 , Romans 6:23)
5. We believe Jesus took the penalty of all humans by dying on the cross. (Romans 5:8)
6. We believe that eternal life is attainable for all humans through faith in Jesus Christ. (John 3:16)
7. We believe that the path to salvation is through faith, repentance, confession and baptism. (John 3:16 , Acts 2:38 , Romans 10:9)
8. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the gift of God to us humans when we accept Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 6:19)
9. We believe that one day Jesus Christ will return to earth and take all believers to heaven. (I Thessalonians 4:16)
