Emmanuel Bible College Statement of Faith

In 1991 the Presidents of the Missionary churches from around the world met on the campus of Emmanuel Bible College. There was a desire to choose or develop a statement of faith which would be common to all countries represented, and to which each President could wholeheartedly subscribe. The unanimous choice was the statement of faith of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.

Because of EBC’s desire to be in agreement with the leading representatives of the denomination of which we are a part, and because of our desire to demonstrate our unity with evangelical believers across our great country, we have adopted the statement of faith of the EFC, as follows:

We believe in:

1. The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2. One God, eternally present in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. One Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work and His personal return in power and glory.
4. The Salvation of the lost and sinful people through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart form works, and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
5. The Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
6. The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ.
7. The resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

I agree with the above Statement of Faith, as adopted by Emmanuel Bible College.
