Of
Deaf Evangelism And Fellowship, Inc.
Deaf Evangelism And Fellowship believes:
1. In the plenary (fully), verbal (equally every word) inspiration of the Scriptures and their absolute reliability and authority, without error, in the original manuscripts.
2. In one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.
3. In the virgin birth, atoning death, bodily resurrection, and deity of Jesus Christ.
4. That man is a fallen creature, sinful by nature and choice, can only become a child of God by regeneration by a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit.
5. That salvation is by repentant faith in Christ as our substitute, on the merits of His atoning death and shed blood.
6. In Christ’s premillennial second coming (by which we mean the pretribulation rapture position, and the imminent return of Christ).
7. In the eternal security and full enjoyment of God’s presence for the saved, and in the eternal punishment in Hell for the lost.
8. In the need for a personal provision of power, by the Holy Spirit, who already lives in the body of each Christian.
9. In the duty of each Christian to live a holy life, to make soul winning the main end of all Christian work; that God’s Great Commission never changes as the principal obligation of churches and Christians.
10. In Baptism by immersion of the believer by the authority of the local church, symbolizing the death and burial to the old life of sin, and resurrection of the new life in Christ.
11. The Lord’s Supper is an ordinance to be observed by the local church to symbolize the Lord’s death until His second coming.
