Purpose Of Faith Bible Institute

The purpose of Faith Bible Institute (FBI) is to train our students in the Word of God so they will become able spokesmen for God. To provide a well-balanced curriculum of Bible education for our students is our purpose and to this end that each student becomes proficient in handling the Scriptures. The result will be that Sunday School teachers and workers, Youth Directors, and all others who enroll, will become more effective in the Word of God as they serve in those places to which God has called, or will yet call them to minister for Him.

Doctrinal Statement

  1. We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God; verbally inspired of Him, inerrant in the original writings; and they are the final and supreme authority in faith and life.
  2. We believe in one God existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in nature, power, and glory. We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; and In the Holy Spirit, a Divine Person distinct from the Father and the Son.
  3. We believe Jesus Christ is the eternally begotten Son, Conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; and that He is true God and true Man, the only Mediator between God and man.
  4. We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; that all human beings by physical birth possess a sinful nature and are, therefore, sinners in thought, word, and deed; that in order to be restored to fellowship with God they must be born again of the Spirit of God.
  5. We believe that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,” that His death was a substitutionary atonement for our sins; and that all who believe in Him are counted righteous before God, justified and given title to eternal life, solely through the merit of Christ on the ground of His shed blood.
  6. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, and all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again into the family of God, quickened by the Holy Spirit, and given a new life by God, and thus eternally secure in Him.
  7. We believe that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead on the third day; ascended into Heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, as our High Priest and Advocate.
  8. We believe in the personal, bodily, and premillennial return of our Lord Jesus Christ to establish His kingdom on earth.
  9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both lost and saved; the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
  10. We believe that all believers are vitally united in the Body of Christ, His Church; and that it is the supreme responsibility of its members to bear witness to the saving grace and power of the Lord Jesus Christ and to make His gospel known to all men.
