The European Evangelical Alliance is a fellowship
of Christians who accept the revelation
of the triune God given in the Scriptures
of the Old and New Testament and confess
the faith of the Gospel therein set forth.
They assert the following doctrines which
they regard as crucial to the understanding
of the faith, and which should issue in
mutual love, practical Christian service
and evangelistic concern:
• The sovereignty
and grace of God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit
in creation,
providence, revelation, redemption, final
judgement and consummation.
• The divine
inspiration of Holy Scripture and its entire
trustworthiness and supreme
authority in all matters of faith
and conduct.
• The universal sinfulness and
guilt of fallen man, making him subject
to God's
wrath
and condemnation.
• The substitutionary
sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as
the
sole and all-sufficient
ground of redemption from
the guilt and power of sin, and from its
eternal
consequences.
• The justification
of the sinner solely by the grace of God
through
faith in Christ crucified and risen from
the dead.
• The illuminating, regenerating,
indwelling and sanctifying work
of the Holy Spirit.
• The priesthood of all
believers, who form the Universal
Church, the body
of which
Christ is the
head, and which is committed by His
command to the
proclamation of the Gospel throughout the
world.
• The expectation of the personal,
visible return
of the Lord Jesus Christ, in
power and glory. |
