1. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
2. The Virgin Birth of Jesus
3. The Blood Atonement
4. The Bodily Resurrection
5. The Inerrancy of the Scriptures
At Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, we will not equivocate nor apologize for our conviction that these statements are absolute truth and are the sole basis for genuine fellowship between believers. There is ample room for brotherly disagreements on various interpretations
and applications of other biblical subjects such as worship styles, modes of ordinances, end-time prophecies, etc; but the validity of one's personal faith and the foundation upon which a church or denomination is built must be upon all five of these bedrock doctrines or else the anointing power and approval of God will not be demonstrated.
While the national debate on the political and cultural demise we are presently witnessing deserves serious attention, and will be the ultimate purpose of this blog, the definition of a biblical church must be understood because the church stands as the last line of defense between America's doom or deliverance; and the clear definition of a New Testament church has virtually nothing to do with the name of the denomination with which it is affiliated. If a church does not boldly adhere to and loudly proclaim all five of these fundamentals, it may be a church in the colloquial sense but it is not a church in the biblical sense and should not be supported with one's attendance or money because its faulty faith will not be able to withstand the fierce societal storms that are coming upon the Christian community in America, and will certainly be found lacking on the day of God's eternal judgment.
