What is the CYCM Statement of Faith?
We believe in the divine inspiration of Holy Scripture (the book of both the Old and New Testaments) and its subsequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
We believe in the Trinity – that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence, revelation, regeneration, redemption and final judgement.
We believe in the true Deity and real humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ; His incarnation and virgin birth; His sinless life; the all-sufficiency of His atoning death; His bodily resurrection and ascension; His ongoing intercessory work on behalf of the believer and His coming again.
We believe that all humanity is by nature dead in sin; that God in His mercy calls us to repentance; that through grace we obey that call and only in doing so we are, by faith alone, justified freely because of the finished work of Christ; that we become children of God through adoption, to be transformed into Christ’s image to walk in good works until we are taken home to glory where we will be perfected.
We believe that the death of the Lord Jesus Christ was perfect, complete, once for all time, never to be repeated, substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of His people and that He is the only Priest and Mediator between God and man.
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone and cannot be received through merely observing the sacraments of any church. There is no Biblical warrant for the mechanical conveyance of grace through any sacrament.
We believe in the one invisible church of Christ which consists of all who are born again of the Spirit of God and in the priesthood of all believers, who from the universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the sole Head and which is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world.
We believe that the child of God is called to an ongoing life of witness to the Lord Jesus Christ and to a humble following of Him in daily life.
We believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of those who know and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and the eternal conscious punishment of those who reject His salvation and Lordship.
