Fairview Statement of Faith
We Believe:
That both the Old and New Testaments represent the divinely inspired Word of
God, in the final authority for life and truth.
That there is one God, eternally existent in the persons of the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
That the Son, came to earth born of virgin birth, died on Calvary for the
redemption of mankind making salvation possible through faith to all who would
believe.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, (Romans 3;23). We must
repent of sin and accept the Lord Jesus into our hearts.
In a subsequent work of God in the soul after the new birth, sanctification
experience comes. This comes as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, cleansing the
heart and the old man in power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. We stand
for the Wesleyan position.
That the church is the body of Christ; that all who are united by faith to
Christ are members of the same and it is our solemn and covenant duty to
fellowship with one another in peace, and to love one another with pure and
fervent hearts.
That we have the hope of eternal life because of the resurrection of Christ from
the dead conquering death, hell and the grave. The believer is saved to eternal
joy and the unbelieving lost to conscious eternal punishment.
That our Lord Jesus Christ will personally return in power and great glory.
