Doctrine

The doctrinal position of Sonship School of the Firstborn is expressed in the following statement of faith. We believe …

The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; the atoning sacrifice of His death, burial, and resurrection; His future return to earth to rule over the nations.
The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
The redemptive work of the cross of Christ provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.
The baptism with the Holy Spirit is given to Believers who ask for it, with evidence of speaking in other tongues.
In the resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
In water baptism by immersion and observance of the Lord’s Supper.
