Christian Service Brigade
Standard of Faith
This doctrinal statement summarizes our interpretation of Biblical teaching and serves as the guideline for all CSB publications. As required by the CSB Constitution, all staff and board members subscribe to it.
Scripture Authority
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
One God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
Sin
We believe that all people were created in the image of God; that they sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners in thought, word and deed.
Justification
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in him are justified on the ground of his shed blood.
Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate.
Jesus's Return
We believe in the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Receive by Faith
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God.
Eternity
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
God's Design
We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong exclusive relationship between one man and one woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is contrary to God’s design. We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is contrary to God’s design.
