1. The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God and are therefore without error; thus, the Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life.
2. There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and He is one with the Father. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and accomplished amazing miracles as recorded in Scripture.
4. Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures, rose again for our redemption so that all who believe in Him and call upon Him in repentance are saved by God’s grace through faith.
5. Jesus was miraculously resurrected; He ascended to the right hand of God the Father where He intercedes on our behalf; He will return to earth in power and glory.
6. Through a personal, heart-felt acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal Savior, we become children of God, born again as a new creation by the inner working of the Holy Spirit.
7. The Holy Spirit is a person of the Godhead possessing all divine attributes, and He dwells within all Christians enabling and encouraging them to live Godly lives of obedience to the Scriptures.
8. God created the universe. God also created man in His image, but mankind subsequently sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death—eternal separation from God, until born again by the Spirit of God.
9. Resurrection of the dead will occur for both the believer and the nonbeliever; those that have experienced salvation will receive eternal life in heaven, and those that are unsaved will be punished with eternal damnation in hell.
10. The church, kingdom of God, and believer have an enemy—Satan-- who is real, and who actively seeks to destroy the works of God.
11. It is the privilege and responsibility of every believer to share the Gospel of Christ with the world as directed by Jesus in the Great Commission.
12. Christians can experience spiritual unity to further God’s kingdom; thus, we pledge to overlook any doctrinal issues that do not blatantly conflict with the statements of faith listed above in order to promote unity in the Body of Christ and in the ministry of Madison Christian School.
