SGI subscribes to the Statement of Faith adopted by the Evangelical Council for Financial
Accountability (ECFA):
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word
of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood,
in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in
His present rule as Head of the Church, and His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe in this as the Christian distinctive: Belief in and commitment to Jesus
Christ as personal Savior and Lord, and as the only way to receive the grace and
salvation of God.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a godly life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved
unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality
across racial, gender and class differences.
