Doctrinally, New
England Bible Church is based upon the following
confession of faith:
-
We
believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments as inspired by God and inerrant in the
original writings, and that they are of supreme and
final authority in faith and life.
II Timothy 3:16,17;
II Peter 1:21
-
We
believe in one God, eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 14:10,13,16,17,26; II
Corinthians 13:14
-
We
believe that Jesus Christ, the eternally
pre-existent Son, humbled himself and assumed
man’s nature being born of the virgin Mary, and is
true God and true man.
Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:18,23; John 1:14; Luke
1:35; John 17:11,21
-
We
believe that man was created in the image of God;
that he sinned, and thereby incurred, not only
physical death, but also that spiritual death which
is separation from God; and that all human beings
are born with a sinful nature; and, in the case of
those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners
in thought, word, and deed.
Genesis 1:26-27, 2:17; Jeremiah 17:9; Ezekiel
18:4; Romans 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:3
-
We
believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our
sins, according to the Scriptures, as a
representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and
that all who believe in Him are justified on the
ground of His shed blood.
Isaiah 53:6; John 3:16; Romans 5:9,12, 6:23;
I Corinthians 15:3,21; I Peter 2:24
-
We
believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of
our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His
present life there He performs the ministry of
intercession for us, as High Priest, and Advocate.
Luke 24:6; Acts 1:9; Hebrews 4:14, 10:12
-
We
believe in “that blessed hope” the personal
return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. John 14:3; Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13;
Revelation 1:7
-
We
believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus
Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and
thereby become children of God.
John 1:12-13; John 3:3; I Peter 1:23
-
We
believe that those who have been born again have
everlasting life and shall not come into
condemnation, but are passed from death unto life;
and that the Lord Jesus Christ gives unto them
eternal life and they shall never perish, neither
shall any power pluck them out of God’s hand.
John 5:24; John 10:28-29
-
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and
the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the
saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
Matthew 25:46; John 3:36; Romans 14:10;
Revelation 20:12,15
