PSCS Doctrinal Statement
We
believe...
· that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, and is the source of
all truth. As a result, the Bible is an essential element in all areas of our
curriculum and is taught at all levels according to the understanding level of
the students. (I Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:1; II Pet. 2:16-21.)
· that
there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God was born of a
virgin, lived a sinless life, and died a literal death upon a cross, and on
the third day rose from the dead. We believe that Jesus Christ's death on the
cross paid the penalty for our sins which is revealed clearly in the Bible.
(Col. 1:15; 2:9ff, Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; I John 1:9.)
· that
man is sinful by nature and that regeneration through Jesus Christ is
essential for salvation and eternal life. (Romans 3:23; 6:23.)
· that
the ministry of the Holy Spirit is ongoing today, and the Holy Spirit indwells
Christians and enables them to live a righteous life as obedience to the Word
of God is practiced. (Romans 8:1-26; Eph. 5:18.)
· in
the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - those who are saved to
eternal life, and those who are lost to eternal punishment. (Rev. 20:11-15.)
· in
the spiritual unity of all believers in one body through Jesus Christ. (Rom.
15:5; I Cor. 12:12-21.)
· the
world, the universe, and all living things were created by the direct Act of
God. (Genesis 1 and 2; Col. 1:16.)
· that
parents have the responsibility for the proper education of their children.
Therefore, parents and teachers are to work together so that children are
brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, for the purpose of
living a life dedicated to the glory of God. (Eph. 6:14.)
