Mendenhall Bible Church-The Mendenhall Ministries

Articles of Faith
1. ONE GOD: Infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, subsisting in a mysterious, eternal Trinity-Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

2. ONE WORD: The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, all given by inspiration of God, are the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

3. ONE CONDEMNATION: There being no difference, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God because the carnal mind is at enmity against God.

4. ONE SAVIOR: The Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh; in his essential deity, virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, physical and bodily resurrection from the dead, and return personally and premillennially to set up an earthly kingdom.

5. ONE ATONEMENT FOR SIN: Made by Jesus Christ in a substitutionary sacrificial death on the cross, sufficient for all, adapted to all, and that all must be born again or be forever lost.

6. ONE SPIRIT: God, the Holy Ghost, through whose sovereign agency in regeneration, the soul, dead in sin, is made alive in Christ, and through whose sovereign agency in sanctification, the soul is changed more and more into the divine image from glory to glory.

7. ONE LIFE: The life hid with Christ in God--the eternal life; begun when a sinner believes and receives Christ, and continued thereafter by the effectual and sovereign grace of God.

8. ONE CHURCH: Which is Christ's body, all the members of which God hath from the beginning chosen in Christ to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

9. TWO DESTINIES: Heaven and Hell; that heaven is the place of eternal life or bliss, and that hell is the place of eternal death or loss.

10. ONE SATAN: Both tempter and accuser who exists in personality and reality.

11. ONE COMMISSION: The great evangelistic and missionary commission given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and the continuing church.
