The Brief Statement of Faith of Christopher Randolph

My faith rest solely upon God who is best represented in the doctrine of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. Each is God and not a god, a part of God, or even a way of viewing God.

My salvation is based upon my faith in Christ Jesus who is God the Son and my Lord. He is fully human and fully God. He lived and was crucified. He rose from the dead and now reigns over all creation with His Father in heaven. Because I know that Jesus really lived, really died and truly rose from death, I fully expect to live eternally with Him even though I have done nothing to earn such an honor.

I believe that salvation is offered to everyone though not everyone hears and fewer respond affirmatively to this gracious invitation. Furthermore, I believe that those believers who do respond to God’s call are called to live lives of service for God. Seeking God’s will in this way does not secure one’s salvation. It is, instead, a thankful response to God’s gift of salvation to every believer. In short, one works for God because one is saved not in order to be saved.
