Statement
of Faith
The
teaching of FLET University is based on the great fundamentals of the Christian
faith, which are centered in the person of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior,
who was crucified, resurrected and glorified. The following, along with other
principles of doctrine and Christian practice, including the affirmation of the
complete veracity and inerrancy of the Scriptures inspired by God, is the
foundation of the faith and doctrine of FLET University:
The divine inspiration and
inerrancy of the Word of God as originally given, and its supreme authority in
all matters of faith and conduct.
The existence of only one
God, personal, one in essence, yet existing in three persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
The sovereignty of God in
creation, revelation, redemption, and the final judgment.
The universality of sin and
guilt of man since the Fall, subjecting him to the wrath and condemnation of
God.
Redemption from guilt of sin
only through the expiatory death of our Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnated Son of
God, our representative and substitute, and the liberation from the
dominion and corruption of sin through our union with Him.
The bodily resurrection of
our Lord Jesus Christ, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and
His lordship over the Church, the world, and all creation.
The work of the Holy Spirit
in regenerating the sinner, leading him to recognize his sin and his need of
faith in Christ the Savior.
The indwelling work of the
Holy Spirit in the believer, enabling him to worship God, overcome sin, serve
the church and understand as well as obey the Word of God.
Justification of the sinner
only by God’s mercy and grace received through faith in Christ’s
substitutionary death.
The intercession of Jesus
Christ, the only mediator between God and men, on behalf of His redeemed.
One Holy Universal Church,
made up of all believers, visible in the local congregations.
The certainty of our Lord
Jesus Christ’s second coming in His glorified body.
The resurrection of the
body, life everlasting for the redeemed, and the eternal condemnation of the
wicked.
