NAHE Statement of Faith

NAHE Leadership Council consents to the following statement of faith.

1.  We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired and only infallible Word of God, inerrant in the autographs (II Tim. 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21).

2.  We believe God is one being Who eternally exists as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  All of the persons are equal in power and glory (Matt. 28:19, II Cor. 13:14).

3.  We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and man (John 1:1, 14), born of a virgin (Matt. 1:18), sinless in His life (Heb. 4:15).  He died on the cross as a substitution for sinful men (Heb. 9:15).  He rose bodily from the grave (John 20:1-9, 24-31, Acts 2:24) and now reigns with the Father (Acts 2:33, Heb. 10:12).  He will return visibly and personally to the earth both in salvation and judgment (Acts 1:11, Heb. 9:28, Matt. 24:35).

4.  We believe all humans are sinful by nature (Rom. 3:23, 5:12) and can only be forgiven by repentance and statement of trust in Jesus as Savior (John 3:16), brought about by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-7).

5.  We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:1-17).

6.  We affirm the Biblical family model (Col. 3:17-21, Prov. 22:6, Deut. 6:5-7, Mark 10:6-9).
