The believers in Jesus Christ who gather as a church at PLANO BIBLE CHAPEL hold to the essential, orthodox* doctrines of the Christian faith.
- We believe the Bible is the inspired Truth of God without error in its original writing.
- We believe in One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each of whom is equally and fully God.
- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, substitutionary death for the inherited and imputed sins of men, and His bodily resurrection.
- We believe in the forgiveness of sins by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and that all who receive Christ through believing have eternal life and become members of His church (Salvation).
- We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His own, later to this earth.
- We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and His indwelling and working in each believer.
- We believe in a final judgment of man before God.
At Plano Bible Chapel we strive to find a balance between Biblical Convictions and Personal Preferences. The above biblical beliefs are essential to Christian faith. There are also other biblical beliefs that we hold as a church but other godly people may view differently. Furthermore, there are personal convictions that we have individually for Christian living. This desire for balance requires that we recognize the differences between biblical convictions and personal boundaries.
* Orthodox means “correct opinion.” In Christian theology, it refers to the correct views on the essential truths of the Christian faith and the proper observance of central Christian practices. Orthodoxy means the right opinion about crucial doctrines and practices in keeping with what true Christians have always believed based on biblical, historical, and theological doctrine. Orthodoxy is that which has been believed and practiced in the church “everywhere, always, and by all.”
