New Beginnings Fellowship Beliefs, Positions and Core Values

2-  In one God, (2) eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (3)

3-  In the Lord Jesus Christ as true God and true man; (4) His virgin birth, (5) sinless humanity, (6)

substitutionary death, (7) burial, (8) bodily resurrection, (9) present advocacy, (10) and His bodily

return. (11)

4-  In the fall of mankind, (12) resulting in complete and universal separation from God(13) and the

need of salvation for all individuals.(14)

5-  That the Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood and died as a sacrifice for imputed sin and the sins of

every person in the whole world(15) in order to satisfy the righteousness of God and make

salvation available to all. (16)

6-  That salvation, by God’s grace, is a free and everlasting gift of God, (17) entirely apart from works,

(18) which is received through an individual’s faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.(19)

7-  That the Holy Spirit regenerates with divine life(20) and personally indwells every believer(21) upon

faith in Christ Jesus for salvation.(22)

8-  That once a person is saved, they can never be lost. (23)

9-  In the bodily resurrection and unending life of the saved with the Lord, (24) and the bodily

resurrection and unending punishment of the unsaved separated from the Lord. (25)

in Christ Jesus as Savior. (26)

(31)

4-  The practice of the Lord’s Supper as a means of remembering Christ’s sacrifice until He returns.
