Doctrinal PositionBelieving that the Bible is God's inspired Word (II Timothy 3:16 and 17) and that it is immutable (unchanging) and eternal (Matthew 24:35), Evangelist Doug Lowery holds to the cardinal, orthodox, fundamental doctrines of the Word of God:
The creation of the world by the direct act of God; The inspiration of the entire Word of God from Genesis to Revelation; The revelation of the Godhead through the Persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; The deity of Jesus Christ; His virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death and victorious, bodily resurrection; The fallen, sinful nature of man and his inability to redeem himself through his own good works; The gift of salvation through the grace of God as the sinner repents of his sin, is cleansed by Christ's blood, and believes the Gospel; The existence of two literal, eternal dwelling places, heaven and hell; The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer for illumination of the Scriptures, guidance, power for witnessing, filling, and victorious living; The wonderful institution of the local church established on the Rock, Christ Jesus, for edification, teaching, fellowship, prayer and the carrying out of the Great Commission; with the Biblical offices of pastor(s) and deacons and the two ordinances of baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper; The imminent, pre-tribulation rapture of the church; The coming tribulation period followed by the return of Christ to the earth to reign for 1,000 years, followed by the Great White Throne Judgment and the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. |
