Our Affirmations

Faithfully Entrusted exists to equip churches and strengthen believers with gospel-centered hope. Our work flows from these biblical convictions. We hold them with deep joy and humble confidence, knowing they reflect the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

We gladly affirm the Baptist Faith and Message (2000), the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, and the historic creeds of the church (Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed) as faithful summaries of biblical truth.

1. Scripture

We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and sufficient Word of God, fully trustworthy in all it teaches and the final authority for faith and practice
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:21).
We deny that human opinion, cultural trends, or new revelation can stand alongside or above Scripture.

2. God

We affirm the one true and living God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—coequal in power and glory
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).

3. Humanity and Sin

We affirm that God created humanity male and female in His image. We affirm the historicity of Adam and Eve and the reality of original sin
(Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 5:12).
We deny that humanity’s nature is morally neutral or essentially good apart from grace.

4. Jesus Christ

We affirm the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atonement, bodily resurrection, and future return
(John 1:1, 14; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4).

5. Salvation

We affirm that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, not by works, and results in regeneration and sanctification
(Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5).

6. The Holy Spirit

We affirm the Spirit’s work in conviction, regeneration, indwelling, sanctifying, empowering, and sealing all believers
(John 16:8; Romans 8:9–11).

7. The Church

We affirm the local church as Christ’s ordained means of worship, discipleship, fellowship, and mission, governed by qualified elders/pastors and served by deacons
(Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:42; Philippians 1:1).

8. Marriage and Family

We affirm God’s design of marriage as the covenant union of one man and one woman for life, and the goodness of children as a gift from the Lord
(Genesis 2:24; Psalm 127:3).

9. The Great Commission

We affirm the responsibility and privilege of every believer and local church to make disciples of all nations, proclaiming the gospel and teaching all Christ commanded
(Matthew 28:18–20).

10. Last Things

We affirm the bodily resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, the eternal joy of the redeemed, and the eternal punishment of the lost
(Revelation 20:11–15; John 5:28–29).
