Fully Alive believes in one God who exists in Trinity.
We believe all three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
- possess equally the powers of deity and share the same
personality traits. We believe that God , through His sovereign
power and masterful artistry, created the world and all
of its inhabitants. Through His cleansing grace and wisdom
He continually sustains His creation.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son and, therefore,
wholly God. We believe Jesus became a human and possessed
a true human nature. He lived a sinless life, obeying the
will of God at every opportunity and qualified as a substitute
atonement for the sin of all humanity when He died on the
cross. We believe He rose from the dead with the same physical
body and, therefore, redeemed us all. We believe after
appearing to many people, He ascended to heaven and now
sits at the right hand of God the Father on our behalf.
We believe that humanity is instinctively carnal and selfish
with a sinful nature. Because of the price Christ paid,
though, we can be redeemed.
We believe the Holy Spirit is the supernatural agent of
God, who comes and inhabits the lives of those who desire
a personal relationship with God. We believe at the first
moment of such a relationship the Spirit is poured out
on Believers in a once-and-forever transaction that can
never be broken. The Holy Spirit resides within the Christian
forever.
We believe the church is the God-inspired instrument for
the Christian Community to exist. We believe in the autonomy
of local churches. We believe the practice of baptism as
modeled by Jesus Christ to be appropriate for proclaiming
the presence of God in the life of a believer. We believe
communion to be the sacrament desired by Christ for His
remembrance. We believe the elements of the cup and the
bread to be symbolic in nature for the broken body and
poured-out blood of Jesus. We practice an open communion
of all believers. We believe the Bible to be not only completely
inspired by God alone, but to be without error. |
