Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Calvary Frontlines, which are based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
WE BELIEVE that there is one true and living God, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all things.
(Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8 and 48:16; Matthew 28:19-20; John 10:30; Hebrews 1:3)
WE BELIEVE in the person of God the Father, an infinite, eternal, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and responds to prayer; and that He saves from sin and death, all those who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
(Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms 90:2; John 3:16 and 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17; Titus 1:3)

Jesus Christ
WE BELIEVE in the person of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit.

(Psalm 9:17; Matthew 5:3, 5:22, 18:9 and 25:31-34; Mark 9:42-49; Luke 12:5; John 3:18; Hebrews 12:23; 1 Peter 1:4; Revelation 14:10-11 and 20:11-15)

The Church
WE BELIEVE that the Christian Church consists of all believers of Jesus Christ collectively, and they make up the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part of the Body of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:15-16)
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for the church: 1. Full immersion water baptism of believers, and 2. The Lord's Supper.

We believe that no court of man supersedes God's design, definition, nor intention of this sacred union between man and woman.

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-5)
Ressurection

(Matthew 16:27; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16 and 20:11-15)
