About The Christian Prayer Station
Here at the Christian Prayer Station we are intercessors and we are called to pray for
ourselves, each other, for anyone whom calls on us for everything in God's creation, the
list is endless. There are several verses calling us to pray and we shall pray without ceasing.
Our Faith at Christian Prayer Station
The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation
of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for
its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its
matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the
principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the
end of the world the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard
by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.
All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine
revelation.
God
There is one and only one living and true God. …The eternal triune God
reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal
attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
God the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures,
and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His
grace. …God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through
faith in Jesus Christ.
God the Son
Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His
incarnation as Jesus Christ, He was conceived
of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
…He honored the divine law by His personal
obedience, and in His substitutionary death on
the cross, He made provision for the redemption
of men from sin.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. …He exalts Christ. He
convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. …He enlightens and
empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to
all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood
obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation
includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.
God's Purpose of Grace
Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates,
justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. …All true believers endure to the
end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit will
never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end.
Man
Man is the special creation of God, in His own image. He created them male
and female as the crowning work of His creation. …By his free choice man
sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. …The sacredness of
human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and
in that Christ died for man; therefore every person of every race possesses
dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
The Church
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local
congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and
fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by
His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His
Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each
congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic
processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable
to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are pastors and deacons. Both men
and women are gifted for service in the church.
Baptism & the Lord's Supper
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer
in water. …It is an act of obedience symbolizing
the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and
risen Saviour, the believer's death to sin, the
burial of the old life, and the resurrection to
walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of
obedience whereby members … memorialize
the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His
second coming.
Evangelism & Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church of the
Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations... to seek
constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a
Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
The Lord's Day
The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. …It commemorates the
resurrection of Christ from the dead and should be employed in exercises of
worship and spiritual devotion.
Last Things
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its
appropriate end. …Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly…the dead
will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous
will be consigned to Hell. …The righteous… will receive their reward and
will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord.
Stewardship
God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and
are we owe to Him. Christians have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world,
a holy trusteeship in the gospel, and a binding stewardship in their
possessions. They are therefore under obligation to serve Him with their time,
talents, and material possessions.
Cooperation
Christ's people should … organize such associations and conventions as may
best secure cooperation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God. Such
organizations have no authority over one another or over the churches.
…Cooperation is desirable between the various Christian denominations.
The Christian & the Social Order
All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme
in our own lives and in human society... in the spirit of Christ, Christians
should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all
forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and
pornography. We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the
abused, the aged, the helpless, and the sick. We should speak on behalf of the
unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to
natural death...
Religious Liberty
Church and state should be separate. The state owes to every church
protection and full freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends. …A free church
in a free state is the Christian ideal.
