Doctrinal Statement

SOBEM shall continually and steadfastly uphold and maintain the following Statement of Faith:

　1. BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God, that the sixty six Books, as originally written, comprising the Old and New Testaments were inspired by the Spirit of God and therefore, entirely free from error, that the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice and the true basis of Christian union;

　2. GOD
We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit;

　3. CHRIST
We believe in the absolute and essential deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, God the Son, in His eternal existence with the Father in Preincarnate glory, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return;

　4. THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the absolute and essential deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, who regenerates, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ;

　5. MAN
We believe that man was divinely created in the image of GOD, that he sinned, becoming guilty before God, resulting in total depravity, thereby incurring physical and spiritual death;

　6. SALVATION
We believe that salvation is by sovereign, elective grace of God that by the appointment of the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a vicarious, expiatory and propitiatory death, that justification is by faith alone in the all sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and finally perfected in the image of the Lord;

　7. FUTURE THINGS
We believe in the personal bodily and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and in the judgment and eternal conscious punishment of the wicked;

　8. THE LOCAL CHURCH
We believe that a church is a company of believers, called out from the world, separate unto the Lord Jesus, voluntarily associated for the ministry of the Word, the mutual edification of its members, the propagation of the faith. We believe it is a sovereign, independent body, exercising its own divinely awarded gifts, precepts and privileges under the Lordship of Christ , the Great Head of the Church.
