Statement Of Faith

The program and activities of LFA shall be based upon and at all times be consistant with the following beliefs:

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (I John 5:4-6).
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (I Corinthians 15:3, I Peter 2:21-24, John 3:16, I Thessalonians 4:18, Revelation 21:20)
4. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (Romans 3:21-30, Galations 4:7)
5. We believe that the full consummation of the baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of Spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 2:4, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 19:2, 6, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:42-43, Matthew 3:11)
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:34, 28, 29)
7. We believe that deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 8:16, John 5:14, I Peter 2:24)
