Statement of Faith
Kingswood Camp's Statement of Faith - Shortened Version
God: We believe that God is three persons [God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit] and yet one being. This is called the Trinity. God is the creator, sustainer, and redeemer of all that is. Scripture Passages: 2 Corinthians 13:14; Genesis 1; 2 Peter 1:17; Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15; John 1:1; Colossians 1:16-17; Luke 1:26-27, 2:7; Philippians 2:7-8; John 1:14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 9:15; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Romans 2:16; John 14:26; Ephesians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 12:11
The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. The Bible is God’s autobiography designed to introduce him to us and to explain his plan for redemption from sin. Scripture Passages: 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21
Human Beings and Sin: We believe that human beings were created by God and intended to live without sin. We believe that the original man and woman chose evil instead of God, and as a result, their relationship with God, each other, and the whole world is now affected by sin. Sin affects every human being, past, present and future. Scripture Passages: Genesis 1:26; Genesis 3:6-7; Romans 5:12; Genesis 3:23; Genesis 3:12; Romans 7:15; Romans 8:22
Salvation from Sin: We believe that humans are separated from God because of sin. However, because of God's grace and love, He has provided a way for us to be saved from sin through faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Scripture Passages: Romans 3:23; Romans 8:18–22; John 3:16, Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 John 1:9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 10:9-11
The Church: Followers of Jesus are encouraged to live out their faith in Jesus by being a part of a local church where they can serve, grow, and use their spiritual gifts. Scripture Passages: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Acts 2:42, 46-47
Three Greats: God commanded Christians to live in response to three great statements. These are known as the great commandment, the great commission, and the great requirement. These statements shape how the Christian follows Jesus. Scripture Passages: Matthew 22:26-40; Matthew 28:16-20; Micah 6:8
Jesus’ Return: On a future day, Jesus will return just as he said. This will mark the start of a new era when he will judge all people and when all followers of Jesus, past and present, will enter into his presence forever. Scripture Passages: Acts 1:11, Philippians 2:8-11; Matthew 25:13; Matthew 26:31; John 5:25-29, 1 Thess. 4:16-17, 2 Peter 3:3-13; Revelation 21-22
