Freedom House Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is our final authority in faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three Persons, equal, yet filling different roles: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 119:68; Isaiah 45:21-22; Colossians 1:15-17)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit; born of the virgin Mary; lived a sinless life; was crucified; died; was buried; bodily resurrected; ascended into heaven; and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. (Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:6-10)
We believe that God made man perfect and when man sinned it corrupted God’s creation. Because of God’s love He sent Jesus to restore mankind to its right condition. (Genesis 1:26-28, 31; 3:1-24; Romans 3:10, 23; Revelation 20:10-15)
We believe in salvation by grace through faith through the death and resurrection of Christ alone for our sins. (Romans 5:8-10; 6:23; 10:9-10, 13)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is present in the lives of believers to guide them and lead them into a life of righteousness, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and giving gifts to empower believers to be like Christ. (John 15:26-27; 1 Corinthians 12; Galatians 5:22-26)
Jesus said: “If you hold to my teachings, you really are my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
