Open Way Church Core Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.

That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written by servants and men of God.
That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conducts, lifestyle. We believe, preach, teach, live, and stand on the Word of God. God said it, we believe it, and that settles it for us.

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

We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory
In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return

We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit

Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
Who baptizes believers at conversion into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills and fills those yielded to Him

We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God

That by the sin of disobedience he fell from that state
That all his posterity inherited spiritual depravity and defilement
That all men therefore are guilty before God and condemned to physical and spiritual death

We believe that salvation is by the sovereign grace of God

That by the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a propitiatory death
That justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
That those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and ultimately perfected in the image of the Lord
