ONE GOD - MANY NAMES / ONE SON - MANY PATHS / ONE TRUTH - MANY FAITHS

Church of Interfaith Christians Statement of Faith

1. We believe in the immeasurable greatness of God who dwells throughout the Universe, present in all. God is the force of life itself; the One True God known by many names and many paths but only one God; the God that breathed the first breath of life throughout the Universe, and will be the same tomorrow.

2. We believe that Jesus, Yeshua ben Yosef, was the Son of God and Man, divinely created by God to bring forth a new covenant of love and respect and the revelation of immortality of the spirit by his death and resurrection.

3. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the constant emanation of God, ever present, and further revealed to dwell in every living creation and remains as man’s guide in life and spirit.

4. We believe that the Bible and scriptural writings of all faiths are divinely inspired and written for the times in which they were created. We acknowledge that humanity, through its progression in life over the centuries, may look to the past for guidance but ultimately lives by values, morals and conscience inspired by the ever-living Holy Spirit.

5. We believe that every person will follow a path that ultimately leads to God who has given us gift of free will. We acknowledge that as Interfaith Christians we accept the teachings and commandments of Jesus as a preparatory road to God. We also acknowledge and accept the teachings of all other faiths who profess a form of the Golden Rule as their way to achieve ultimate spiritual enlightenment.

6. We believe that the purpose of life is to follow the will of the Holy Spirit, and thereby, the will of God in all things. We are placed upon this Earth to assist each of our brothers and sisters in the journey to the Creator and to respect the sanctity of all God’s creatures.

7. As Interfaith Christians we absolutely believe that we must love God with our whole being and we must love and understand our neighbor as we love and understand ourselves.
