WHAT I BELIEVE - Please select either AGREE or DISAGREE to the statements below. If you would like to provide additional information, please use the space immediately below.

The Bible is the authoritative and accurate account of who God is, what He has done, and how we should live. The 66 books of the Old and New Testament, written by human authors and inspired by the Holy Spirit, are without error in their original form and are the primary way God still speaks to us today. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe miracles are supernatural occurrences that really occurred as presented in the Biblical account. *

Agree
Disagree

There is one true God who is the Creator and rightful ruler of everyone and everything. This one God eternally exists as three distinct persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each of whom has always existed and is fully and equally God. I believe other religions, no matter how well-meaning, do not know or worship the one true and living God. *

Agree
Disagree

Every person is created in God’s image and has inherent worth from conception. Humans are made to know and enjoy God, steward His creation, and live in line with God’s plan, purposes, and precepts. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe humans are special creations of God and did not evolve from something less than human. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe men and women are equally made in the image of God. Yet God has also made a distinction between them and given them differing and complementary roles and responsibilities in the family and church. *

Agree
Disagree

Sin is humanity’s and the world’s greatest problem. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, humanity’s relationship with Him was fractured and every person since has been disobedient (sinful) by nature and by choice. As a result, we are separated from God and deserve to be judged by God. Our lives and the world are marked by the brokenness that sin creates. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe all human beings after Adam and Eve (except for Christ) have been born with a sinful nature. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe the smallest of sins leaves us liable to eternal judgment because they are committed against an eternal and infinite God. *

Agree
Disagree

Humans were created to exist forever. All who have been reconciled with God by faith in Jesus will receive God’s undeserved grace and live with Him forever in a real heaven. All who die while separated from God will receive God’s just punishment and remain separated from Him forever in a real hell. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe hell is a place of 1) final separation from Jesus Christ, 2) unending conscious experience, and 3) just retribution for sin. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe purgatory (a place where believers go through a period of post-death purification of sin before entering heaven), annihilationism (the belief all non-believers will eventually cease to exist in hell), and universalism (the belief all non-believers will be eventually saved) are false understandings of Scriptural teaching. *

Agree
Disagree

The gospel is the good news that God saves sinners through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. No one can ever be good enough to save themselves. So Jesus lived the perfect life we can’t live, died the death we deserve to die, and rose to life to give us life. *

Agree
Disagree

Salvation is a free gift provided by Jesus that must be actively and personally received through repentance and faith in Jesus alone as Savior and Lord. We are saved from the penalty of our sin and saved for a restored relationship with God as His child. *

Agree
Disagree

All genuine believers in Jesus will cooperate with the Holy Spirit to become more like Jesus and can be assured they can never lose their salvation because the same grace of God that saves us also changes and sustains us. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe when a person repents of their sins and turns by faith to Christ, they are saved by grace apart from works. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation and all Christians have direct access to God. *

Agree
Disagree

Jesus is the eternal Son of God who entered into and changed history. He was and is both fully God and fully man at the same time. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. *

Agree
Disagree

Through his life, death, and bodily resurrection, he did all that was necessary to make salvation possible. After rising from the grave, He ascended into heaven and will one day physically return and reign for eternity as king. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe Christ gave himself as a substitute for us on the cross, receiving the punishment for sin in our place (penal substitutionary atonement). *

Agree
Disagree

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who lives in each Christian from salvation. Through His ministry, the Holy Spirit brings people to Jesus and empowers subsequent godly living and service. *

Agree
Disagree

Though all Christians fully receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, they are called to seek to be continually filled with the Spirit, enabling them to live distinctive and powerful lives that point others to Jesus. *

Agree
Disagree

The spiritual gifts seen in the Bible should be practiced in love and according to biblical guidelines. I believe the practice of spiritual gifts (including speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, etc.) are to be done only in accordance with orderly worship as presented in Scripture (1 Corinthians 12). *

Agree
Disagree

The Church is the people of God set apart for the mission of God. It is composed of every genuine believer in Jesus Christ for all time. We are knit together to become the body and bride of Christ, having a special relationship with God with a corresponding special assignment from God: the Great Commission. *

Agree
Disagree

Every Christian should belong to and actively participate in a local church, which is an organized and localized expression of the worldwide community of believers. *

Agree
Disagree

God established a permanent pattern for gender, family, and sexuality at creation and reaffirmed it throughout all of Scripture. God created humanity, biologically male and female, for one another. There are two distinct, God-given gender identities – male and female rooted in these two biological sexes that are not interchangeable. *

Agree
Disagree

Men and women come together to form the foundational relationship (marriage) of society’s foundational institution (the family). God designed marriage to be a lifelong, public covenant between one biological man and one biological woman that serves His purposes in the world and reflects His relationship with His people. *

Agree
Disagree

All sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage is sinful because it falls short of God’s wise and wonderful plan for human relationships. Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed exclusively within marriage as defined by God. *

Agree
Disagree

I believe the only explicit biblical ground for divorce is adultery or if a Christian is married to a non-Christian and the unbeliever abandons the believer. *

Agree
Disagree

God has given two outward, visible signs of God’s inward, invisible work that all Christians should practice: baptism and communion. They proclaim and remind us of the gospel, strengthen our faith, and celebrate what Christ has done for and in us. *

Agree
Disagree

Baptism by immersion in water is a one-time act of obedience for followers of Jesus to publicly declare their new life in Christ after they have personally repented and believed in Him. *

Agree
Disagree

While the Bible gives freedom in how often it is observed, communion is a repeated act with other believers that commemorates Jesus’ death on the cross and gives us a special chance to enjoy His continued presence with and work for us. *

Agree
Disagree

God will bring the world to its appropriate end in His own time and in His own way. When Jesus personally and visibly returns, all things will finally and perfectly be as they are in heaven. He will raise the dead and reward everyone with either everlasting reward or punishment based on their response of faith to Him during their lives. *

Agree
Disagree

There are many theories as to how these events will unfold. While understanding and discussing them has value, our focus should not be on endless speculation and debate. *

Agree
Disagree

Instead, Jesus’ return should inspire: 1) Faithful living. 2) Hope for believers, for whom Jesus’ return will mean an eternity with Him, filled with unceasing and ever-increasing joy. And 3) urgency to share the gospel with unbelievers, for whom Jesus’ return will mean an eternity apart from Him, marked by unceasing anguish. *

Agree
Disagree

I am willing to submit to the fact that Lakepointe takes no official position on the Millennium or a framework for interpreting Revelation, other than that we deny Full Preterism (the belief that all end-time prophecies were fulfilled in the first century AD). *

Agree
Disagree

I am willing to submit to the fact that Lakepointe leaders may hold to any position regarding the Millennium, as long as they do not try to frame their position as the only acceptable one. We can engage in discussions around end-times matters as long as the discussions do not become divisive or distracting. *
