Confession of Our Christian Faith

Pastor: What do the Scriptures mainly teach?

 

Congregation: The Scriptures mainly teach what man is to believe about God and what duty God requires of man.

 

Pastor: What is God?

 

Congregation: God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

 

Pastor: Are there more Gods than one?

 

Congregation: There is only one living and true God.

 

Pastor: How many persons are there in the Godhead?

 

Congregation: There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one God, the same in essence, equal in power and glory.
