301: Official creed of First Evangelical Free Church
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, which reveals to us God's plan of salvation for mankind and is the basis of our faith and the only infallible guide for Christian living (2 Timothy 3:16,17). We believe the entire Bible to be God's written Word, and while we by no intent undervalue or set aside any portion of the Holy Scripture, we believe there are certain fundamental truths, the ... 3: Jesus Christ We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.

302: God never named the church
If you had 10 spruce trees on your property, you might refer to a specific one as "that spruce" (pointing to it), but unless each spruce has a distinct name, nobody else would understand which tree you are referring to if you say "that Spruce". A man could be described as a father, a man, a citizen, a husband, factory worker, BUT HE HAS ONLY ONE NAME. The trees in my back yard are described as "spruce", "green", "tall", or "living," but NONE OF THEM ARE NAMES. Same is true with the church. In the Bible, God describes His people in 40 + different ways, but none of them are a name. The Bible specifically speaks of the word "Christian" as being a name. "If ...

303: cr-UBF-university-bible-fellowship
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all other things in the universe: that He is the Sovereign Ruler of all things; that the Sovereign God reveals Himself; we believe in his redemptive work and in his final judgment.

We believe that since the fall of Adam, all people have been under the bondage and power of sin and are deserving of the judgment and wrath of God.

... We believe that God has revealed His power and deity in the created universe so that man can know Him. God revealed Himself in saving word and deed in the Old Testament and established a covenant relationship with His people. He revealed Himself supremely and finally in the Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament. We believe that all Scripture is inspired by God as men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit. We accept the Old and New Testaments as the infallible Word of God and the authoritative Guide for the faith and life of Christian discipleship. We believe that the Old Covenant was preparatory in nature, finding its fulfilment in the New Covenant.

319: Why Are There Different Versions Of The Bible???
There is one Bible. First we need to understand what we mean by a "version". A better word than "version" is "translation". The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. If every man could read Hebrew and Greek, then we would have no need for an "English version". Most people can't read Greek, "It's all Greek to me"! We must rely, therefore, upon men who are fully fluent in English and Greek. These "scholars" read the original Greek Bible and come up with an English equivalent. This process is called translation. We have all seen a foreign diplomat give a news conference through the help of a translator. One translator may choose different words or sentences, but the message is identical. Translation is a reliable science of communicating between different languages. Remember, it was God Himself who created all the language barriers in Genesis 11 at the Tower of Babel. God is satisfied that His inspired word can be maintained although translated ... ...

326: Pentecostal tries to defend manifestions with Scripture
It's not the Spirit, because it's not centered on Christ. It's pure emotionalism. Some of what is happening today, some of these manifestations where people are barking, making sounds of animals - I can tell you, that is not the Holy Spirit. It is purely demonic.
