AXIS STATEMENT OF FAITH

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of Heaven & Earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, & was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day, He rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father,& He will come again to judge the living & the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, & the life everlasting. I fully accept the teachings of the traditional Biblical view with regard to the goodness of our sexuality, the importance of chastity, & the place of heterosexual marriage as God's intended context for complete sexual expression to occur (Gen. 2:21-24). I will keep myself from sexual misconduct, including disorderly conduct or lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct or expression, involvement with pornography, premarital sex, adultery, homosexual conduct or any other conduct that violates Biblical standards. #J-18808-Ljbffr Praxis, Inc.
