The Possom Ranch Puppets & Clowns Statement of Faith
We believe in the God
of the Bible, and we believe Him to be one God in three persons-Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
We believe the whole
Bible is the Word of God, inspired by Him, and the only authority on His will
for us.
We believe Jesus was born to a virgin and is the promised Messiah.
He died for the sins of
all mankind, was buried, and rose again on the third day, and now indwells
born-again believers by the Holy Spirit, by invitation only. (Hebrews 9:27-28)
We believe all mankind has a depraved sin nature and left to themselves will self-destruct, so God worked salvation for us with
His own arm. (Jeremiah
17:9 & Romans 3:12)
We believe we are saved
by grace, through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, because salvation is
a gift from God, not by works, so that no one can boast. (Romans 3:22)
We believe in the
resurrection of the body and eternal glory with Jesus for believers, and eternal
punishment for those who rebel against God.
We believe the Body of
Christ consists of ALL believers in the JESUS OF THE BIBLE, regardless
of race or social standing.
We believe it's
important to obey Jesus' command to share the good news of the Kingdom, & to
grow spiritually through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship with other
believers. (2 Cor. 3:12)
We believe Jesus is coming back, like a theif in the night, so no one knows the day or hour, and His church is exempt from God's wrath during the time the bible calls the "Great Tribulation" period. He then is going to establish His kingdom on earth, just as we have been praying for, in the Lord's prayer.
