Statement of Faith

About PCS

At Parkway, we believe Jesus is the Son of God and that He paid for our sins with His death and rose from the dead, overcoming the grave and offering us eternal life. We believe that we must accept Christ with faith and repentance to receive the eternal life He offers. We believe Jesus Christ is alive and active in our world through the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ can and does heal sick bodies, minds, and emotions. We believe Jesus will physically and visibly return to Earth and will resurrect those who have died in Christ. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit and in utilizing the gifts He has given individuals and the Church.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God. (II Tim. 3:15; II Pet. 1:21
We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1; Matt. 28:19; Jn. 10:30)
We believe in the Scriptural imperatives of repentance, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, burial with Christ in baptism, and the sealing of the Holy Spirit. (I John 1:9; Acts 2:38, 16:31; Rom. 6:3-4)
We believe in the deity of Christ (Jn. 10:33), His virgin birth (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Lk. 1:35), His sinless life (Heb. 4:15, 7:26), His miracles (Jn. 2:11), His vicarious and atoning death (I Cor. 15:3; Eph. 1:7; Heb. 2:9), His resurrection (Jn. 11:25; I Cor. 15:4), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mk. 16:19), and His personal return in power and glory. (Acts 1:11; Rev. 19:11)
We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace and through faith alone are we saved. (Jn. 3:16-19, 5:24; Rom. 3:23, 5:8-9; Eph. 2:9-10; Titus 3:5)
We believe Jesus Christ is alive and active in our world through the power of the Holy Spirit and that He can and does heal sick bodies, minds and emotions. The gifts He has given to the Church are held in high esteem.(Jn. 15:26; Mk. 6:1-18; Ps. 103:2-5; Matt. 4:23; I Cor. 12:9,28; Eph. 4:11-12)
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. (Jn. 5:28-29)
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 12:12-13; Gal. 3:26-28)
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Rom. 8:13-14; I Cor. 3:16, 6:19-20; Eph. 4:30, 5:18)
