What We Believe

Posted on by Elijah Principe

What We Believe

Why we do what we do

Beliefs

Articles of Faith

These Articles of Faith do not exhaust the extent of beliefs or practices of Campus Church. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, is the final authority of all that we believe concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind. For the purposes of the church’s doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, the Pastor and church officers are ultimately responsible for interpreting the meaning and application of Scripture.

We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired and infallible, authoritative Word of God and that God gave the words of Scripture by inspiration without error in the original autographs (2 Tim. 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21). God promises that He will preserve His Word; Jesus said, “My words shall not pass away” (Matt. 24:35). We believe that God has kept that promise by preserving His infallible Word in the traditional Hebrew and Greek manuscripts and that the Authorized Version (KJV) is an accurate English translation of the preserved Word of God.

We believe that there is one triune God, eternally existent in the persons of Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit; these three are one in essence, but distinct in person and function (Matt. 28:19, 1 John 5:7-8).

We believe that Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity, became for mankind the physical manifestation of the Godhead (John 1:14, John 14:9, Col. 1:19). The earthly genealogy of Jesus may be traced through Joseph’s line to Abraham (Matt. 1:1-16) and through Mary’s line to Adam (Luke 3:23-38). We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His burial, His bodily Resurrection from the tomb, and His ascension into Heaven (Mark 16:6, Mark 16:19, 1 Cor. 15:1-4).

We affirm that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity, the Agent of conviction, regeneration, indwelling, baptism, sanctification, and illumination of all who are born into God’s family through Jesus Christ (John 3:5-6, Eph. 1:13-14). We are opposed to the charismatic movement and its sign manifestations, such as speaking in tongues.

We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in six literal days, and that God created all life (Gen. 1). We reject the man‑made theory of evolution occurring over millions of years and believe that the earth is approximately 6,000 years old (Gen. 5, Gen. 11). We believe that God created man in His own image, but man chose to sin. Hence, all persons inherit a depraved nature and are lost sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23).

We believe that God created man and woman in His image and instituted marriage between one who is genetically male and one who is genetically female (Gen. 2:18-24). Marriage is a sacred, exclusive union between a man and woman and serves as a picture of Christ’s relationship with the church (Matt. 19:3-12, Eph. 5:22-33). We believe that God has commanded that sexual activity be exclusively reserved to a man and a woman who are legally married to each other; and that Scripture forbids any form of sexual immorality including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography (Matt. 5:27-28, Matt. 15:18-20, 1 Cor. 6:9-11, 1 Cor. 6:18, 1 Cor. 7:1-5, Heb. 13:4).

We believe that Christ’s blood, shed on Calvary, is the only Atonement for man’s sin (John 14:6, 1 Pet. 1:18-19, 1 John 1:9). We believe that salvation is a free gift of God for “whosoever will”; it is by grace, through faith, plus nothing, and believers are eternally secure (John 10:27-28, Eph. 2:8-10). Salvation is received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work. “Whosoever will” may come to Christ; God does not pre–elect persons to heaven or hell (Rom. 10:13, Rev. 22:17).

We believe in the spiritual unity of the body of Christ, called the Church. It is composed of all born-again believers who have by faith accepted Jesus Christ as Savior (Eph. 2:8-22, Eph. 3:1-21, Eph. 4:4-16, Eph. 5:23-32). God has ordained the local church for the perpetuation of His truth and work in the world (1 Tim. 3:15). The two ordinances of the local church are baptism by immersion and a regular observance of the Lord’s Supper by believers (Matt. 28:19, 1 Cor. 11:23-28).

We believe the Scripture regarding Satan, who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven with a host of angels who followed him (Isa. 14:13-15 ). He introduced sin to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (Gen. 3:1-13). He continues to turn people from truth and against God (1 Pet. 5:8). Eternal hell was created for Satan, his demons, and people who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation (Matt. 25:41, John 3:16, Rev. 20:15).

We believe that the believer is called to a life of consecration which requires increasing in the knowledge of Christ and growing in grace (John 15:4-5, Col. 1:10, 2 Pet. 3:18).

We believe that the will of God for all believers is to give evidence of sanctification through being honorable in all relations with others (Rom. 12:1-2, 1 Thes. 4:3, James 1:27).

We believe every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Words or behaviors inconsistent with these characteristics are to be repudiated, and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of the Church. (Matthew 5:43-44, John 3:16; 13:35, Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13).

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life in heaven and those that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation in a literal lake of fire (John 5:28-29, 1 Cor. 15:12-20, 1 Cor. 15:35-58, Rev. 20:10, Rev. 20:15).

We believe in the imminent, pre-Tribulation return of Jesus Christ for all believers (1 Thess. 4:13-17). The Rapture of the saints will be followed by a seven-year Tribulation, after which Christ will return in glory to judge the world and set up His millennial reign on earth (Rev. 20:1-3, Rev. 21:1-5).

Our History

Campus Church opened its doors in 1974 to minister to the Pensacola community and the students of Pensacola Christian College. As an independent Baptist church, we seek to lift up Jesus Christ in our Sunday school classes and church services. With a strong emphasis on the preaching of God’s Word, our services are refreshingly traditional, with music from our Rejoice Choir and Orchestra.

Our church has a long history of commitment to missions through prayer, monthly support, and special offerings. We currently support missionaries in over 30 countries as well as several ministries in the United States.

Campus Church provides sound biblical preaching and uplifting music not only locally but also across the nation and around the world through the Rejoice in the Lord telecast. This ministry encourages thousands to draw closer to the Lord on a weekly basis.

Missions

The heart of the Great Commission

Reflecting Christ and loving others is at the heart of the Great Commission. It is why 20% of our general offerings are used for worldwide missions. We support missionaries in over 30 countries through prayer and regular financial support. As missionaries have needs, we receive special offerings to help meet those needs. We highlight the work of missions in our biannual Missions Conference to challenge our church family to surrender to a life of service for the Lord.

Get involved with us in reaching our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8) by giving prayer and financial support for our missionaries.
