ABOUT ANTIOCH
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We are a fundamental, evangelical, Bible-believing school based upon canonized Old Testament and New Testament scripture as the inerrant and infallible Word of God. We accept that the bible is God’s instruction manual for life, and it is not open to any single or denominational interpretation but is written to all mankind.
​
It is our belief that God created the earth and the universe in six literal days and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin. We believe that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary, arose from the dead three days later, and now sits at the right hand of God as our High Priest. We believe that those who have been born-again through the blood of Jesus Christ will reign in Heaven for eternity.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
Antioch Bible College & Theological Seminary is a Christ-centered institution. The board of trustees, along with the faculty and staff, is committed to an evangelical interpretation and application of the Christian faith. All employees are expected to understand and adhere to the following articles of belief:
-
That the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept.
-
That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
That man was created in the image of God but, as a result of sin, is lost and powerless to save himself.
-
That the only hope for man is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the virgin-born Son of God, who died to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of mankind, and who rose from the dead so that by receiving Him as Savior and Lord, man is redeemed by His blood.
-
That Jesus Christ will personally return to earth in power and glory.
-
That the Holy Spirit indwells those who receive Christ for the purpose of enabling them to live righteous and holy lives.
-
That the Church is the Body of Christ and is composed of all those who through belief in Christ have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The mission of the Church is worldwide evangelism and the nurturing and discipling of Christians.
