DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF
ISRAEL’S HOPE, Inc.
The members of this
mission declare their belief in:
SECTION
1
The divine, verbal,
plenary inspiration, infallibility and inerrancy of the Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments as originally given, and their absolute and final authority
in all matters of faith and conduct. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; John
14:26.
SECTION
2
The unity and trinity
of God, eternally existing in three co-equal Persons, the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14.
SECTION
3
The creation of man in
divine image, his subsequent fall through sin, resulting in universal guilt and
total depravity, and necessity of redemption and restoration.
Genesis 1:26-27;
Romans 3:9-10; 5:12,19; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.

His personal return. Colossians 2:9; Matthew 1:23; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter
2:24; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 John 2:1; Matthew 25:31.
SECTION

The necessity of the
new birth as the work of God and the Holy Spirit to be obtained only by
receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour; that men are saved by grace through
faith, not by works. 1 Corinthians 1:9; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; John 1:12;
Ephesians 2:8-9.
SECTION
6
The bodily
resurrection of the just and the unjust; the everlasting blessedness of the
saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost. Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29;
Revelation 20:4-6; 11-15.
SECTION
7
The mission of the
Church as being to glorify God and to preach the gospel to a world lost without
Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Mark 16:15.
