STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE
BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
Every member of the Faculty, of the Board of Directors, and every Department Head is required to sign this statement of doctrine the first of every year; and no one can ever preach or teach in our build ings any doctrine contrary to it. ■ HE Directors of the Institute have1adopted the following Statement of Doctrine which every officer and teacher and department head is required to sign once a year. Money contributed for the work of the Institute will be held inviolate for the teaching of these truths. shipped as God by angels and men. “In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the godhead bodily.” All the words that He spoke during His earthly life were the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them and by the words of Jesus Christ the words of all other-teachers must he tested. v.1
Failure to insist upon the promul gation of these truths, or the permis sion of teaching contrary to this state ment of belief, would constitute ground for suit for the reversion of the money contributed to the original donors or heirs. . I . The Bible, ‘ consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation from God Himself, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and con cerning man, his' nature, need, duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teachings and record of historical facts. They are; without error or defect of any kind. I I . ‘ There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons— Father, Son and Holy Spirit. III. Our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin—Mary, a lineal descendant of David. He lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as is re corded in the four Gospels. He was put to death, by crucifixion under Pon tius Pilate. God raised from the dead the body that had been nailed to the cross. The Lord Jesus after His cruci fixion showed Himself alive to His dis ciples, appearing unto them by the space of forty days. After this the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven and the Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subjection under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church. IV. The Lord Jesus, before His incarna tion, existed in the form of God, and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the like ness of men. In His pre-existent state, He was with God and was God. He is a divine person possessed of all the attributes of Deity and should be wor-
The Lord Jesus became in every respect a real man, possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. V I. By His death upon the cross, the Lord Jegus made a perfect atonement for sin, by which the wrath of God against sinners is appeased and a ground furnished upon which God can deal in mercy with sinners. He re deemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a cursè in our place. He who Himself was absolutely without sin was made to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteous1* ness of God in Him. The Lord Jesus is coming again to this earth, person ally,'; bodily, and visibly. The return of our Lord is the blessed hope of the believer and in it God’s purposes of grace toward mankind w ill find their consummation. V i i . The Holy Spirit is' a person and is possessed of all the distinctively divine attributes. He is God. VIH. Man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. AH men, until they accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour, are lost, darkened in their understand ing, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spirit ually dead through their trespasses and sins. They’cannot see, nor enter the kingdom of God until they are horn again of the Holy Spirit. IX. Men are justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him Who shed the blood, and are born again by the quickening, renewing, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit through the instru mentality of thè Word of God. X. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their Lord and who confess Him as such before their fellowmen become children of God and receive eternal life. They become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. At death their spirits depart
