"Statement of Faith"
Lanakila Baptist Church and Schools
We believe in the eternally existing, triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Deity of 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 , and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He now acts as Mediator and Advocate.
We believe in the personal, imminent return of the lord Jesus Christ for His own, in His later return in power and glory with His own to reign in righteousness over the earth and in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost -- they that are saved into the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe that Heaven is the place of eternal blessedness for the saved and that Hell is the place of eternal conscious punishment for the lost.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men and that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again and become the children of God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling in all believers enables them to live godly lives.
