Statement of Faith
Our Beliefs & Guiding Principles
As an organization whose mission and purpose is guided by biblical teaching and Christian values, Psalmlog holds the Bible to be the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind.
We respect that, while denominational differences exist, Psalmlog's guidance will always come back to “sola scriptura” and not man's opinion. Accordingly, for all purposes in its governance and official activities, we affirm and hold to the following biblical principles and doctrines:
The Authority of Scripture
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
The Trinity
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three entities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Deity and Work of Christ
We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.
Salvation Through the Holy Spirit
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
Eternal Destiny
We believe that all those who die in God's grace through faith are assured eternal salvation; those who die in a state of sin and unbelief suffer the punishment of Hell.
Spiritual Unity of Believers
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.
God's Design for Gender
We believe God immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God, and rejecting one's biological sex rejects the created image of God.
The Sanctity of Marriage
We believe God designed marriage as a unique conjugal relationship joining one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, life-long union. God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman joined in marriage.
Sexual Purity
We believe all forms of sexual immorality are sinful and offensive to God.
The Sanctity of Human Life
We believe God endows all human life with inherent dignity at every stage of development and it must be respected and protected from conception to natural death. Thus, the unjustified, intentional taking of human life before or after birth is sinful and offensive to God.
Redemption, Healing, and Transformation
We believe that Jesus's redeeming, healing power, and unconditional love is capable of supernaturally healing and miraculous transformation.
This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of Psalmlog's scriptural and doctrinal beliefs, nor their application to matters of conduct and policy.
