Declaration of Faith

  1. We believe in the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testament) as the only, original, inspired, and infallible Word of God, the only authority in matters of faith.
  2. We believe that there is only one God who exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His life without sin, His expiatory and redeeming death in the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His work as a mediator and His personal return in power and great glory.
  4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and therefore incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death separating him from God. We believe that every human being is born with a sinful nature and, therefore, is subject to the wrath of God and eternal damnation.
  5. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutive sacrifice and all those who believe in Him are justified based on the shedding of His blood. We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit are absolutely necessary for the salvation of the sinful man. We believe that everyone who receives the Lord Jesus Christ by faith is born again by the Holy Spirit, and therefore has eternal life and becomes forever a Son of God. (John 5:24)
  6. We believe in the blessed, personal and imminent hope of the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
  7. We believe in the resurrection of all the dead. The saved will be resurrected for eternal life and the lost for eternal damnation.
  8. We believe in the current ministry of the Holy Spirit who dwells in every Christian by empowering him live a life consecrated to God. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit must be exercised with the application of the rules contained in the Holy Scriptures (1 Cor. 12, 13, 14) etc.. NOTE: CEC avoids controversial interpretations of topics such as dreams, revelations, prophecies, etc.
  9. We believe that the Church of Christ is made up of those who have been born of the Holy Spirit, that the Church is the Body of Christ and He is its head.
  10. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
