DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

Revelation Message Bible College is Interdenominational in nature, however, we hold to the following
Articles of Faith:

I. The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of the Living God; true, without error, immutable,
steadfast, unchangeable, inspired by the Lord God Jehovah; and penned by Holy men of old as
they were moved upon and directed by the Holy Spirit.

II. The Eternal Godhead
We believe that there is but one true and Living God; maker of heaven and earth and all that is in
them; the Alpha and Omega, Whoever was and is and shall be without end; that in the unity of the
Godhead there are three Persons, equal in every divine perfection, executing distinct but
harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

The Father–Whose glory is so exceedingly bright that mortal men cannot look upon His face and
live; but whose heart was so filled with love and pity for His lost and sin-benighted children
that He freely gave His only begotten Son to redeem and reconcile them unto Himself:

The Son-Co-existent and co-eternal with the Father, Who, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born
of the virgin named Mary, took upon Himself the form of man, bore our sins, carried our
sorrows; and by the shedding of His precious blood upon the cross of Calvary purchased
redemption for all that would believe upon Him; bursting the bonds of death and hell, rose
from the grave and ascended on high leading captivity captive, that as the great Mediator
betwixt God and man, He might sit at the right hand of the Father making intercession for
whom He laid down His life.

The Holy Spirit-The third person of the Godhead, the Spirit of the Father shed abroad, omnipotent,
omnipresent, performing an inexpressible important mission upon earth, convicting of sin,
of righteousness, and judgment, drawing sinners to the Savior, rebuking, pleading,
searching, comforting, guiding, quickening, teaching, glorifying, baptizing and enduing
with power from on high, all who yield to His tender ministries, preparing them for the
great day of the Lord’s appearing.

III. The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God, before Whom he walked in holiness and
purity, but that by voluntary disobedience and transgression, he fell from the Eden of purity and
innocence to the depths of sin and iniquity. We also believe that as a consequence of this, all
mankind are sinners, not by coercion, but by choice, shaped in iniquity and utterly void by nature
of the holiness required by the law of God. Therefore, mankind is positively inclined to evil, guilty
and without excuse, justly deserving the condemnation of a just and Holy God.
