Statement of Faith
● We believe the Bible to be the only inerrant, authoritative Word of God (II Timothy 3:16).
● We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:26, Acts 7:54-60, John 1:1).
● We believe God made the heavens, the earth, and man as related in the account of creation in the first two chapters of Genesis in six literal (24 hour) days.
● We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
● We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary (Titus 3:5).
● We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 11:5-6).
● We believe faith without works is dead (Philippians 2:12, Ephesians 2:10, James 2:14-26).
● We believe the indwelling Holy Spirit enables the Christian to live a godly life (Romans 8:9, Galatians 5:22-25).
● We believe in the resurrection of the saved to eternal life and of the lost to eternal damnation (Matthew 25:31-46).
● We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17, I Corinthians 12 and 14).
● We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female. These two distinct sexes either together reflect the image and nature of God (Gen 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s design.
● We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive covenant, as delineated in Scripture (Gen 2:18-25) which shall only be rent asunder by death. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor 6:18, 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4).
● We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, lust, fornication, sodomy, pedophilia, effeminacy, transgenderism, bestiality, incest, dishonorable passions, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10, Romans 1:26-32).
● We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11). We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Saint Boniface Academy.
