Sweeney
Ministries: Connecting Churches and Pastors
Doctrinal
Statement
I BELIEVE THE
Bible to be the inspired, infallible ultimately authoritative Word
of God.
I believe there
is ONE God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe that
the Lord Jesus Christ is deity, that He was born of a virgin, that
we are redeemed by His atoning death through His shed blood, that
He bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven, and that He will come
again in power and great glory.
I believe that
men are saved through a direct, personal encounter with the risen
Lord, at which time they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. This
event I hold to be an experience, rather than a doctrinal supposition.
I believe in
the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whom Christ indwells each
believer enabling him to live a godly life of obedience as he reaches
for maturity.
I believe the
Holy Spirit unites all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and
that together they form one body, the church.
