OUR BELIEFS
THESE THINGS DON'T CHANGE AT POMONA CHRISTIAN.
THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE, AND IT IS WHO WE ARE AT
THE CORE AS A CHURCH.
what we believe
About GOD
There is one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and each possesses all of the attributes of God. God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it.
(Genesis 1:1 | Psalm 90:2 | John 1:1-3,14)
what we believe
About JESUS
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is our Savior, who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross for all sin, and was raised from the grave after three days to demonstrate His defeat of sin and death. He ascended into heaven and will return again to earth to reign as our powerful King.
(John 1:1-5 | Matthew 16:16-17 | John 3:16)
what we believe
About the HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is one with God the Father and Jesus Christ. Those who accept Christ as their Savior will receive the Holy Spirit to live inside them. The Holy Spirit serves as our comforter, guide and advocate. The Holy Spirit is given to Christians and provides guidance in living, an understanding of the Bible, and prayerfully intercedes for them.
(John 14:26 | Ephesians 1:13-14 | Galatians 5:22-25)
what we believe
About the BIBLE
Our foundation is based firmly upon the Bible as our final authority on Christian beliefs and as a guide to living. The Bible is divinely inspired by God, without error, given to man so that we may know and understand the truth of God and His love.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17 | 2 Peter 1:20-21 | Psalm 119:105,160)
what we believe
About SALVATION
Salvation is not something that can be purchased or earned. It is a free gift from God provided by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and is received through faith. It is available to everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. That faith is expressed through repentance of sin and baptism by immersion.
(Romans 5:9 | Ephesians 2:8-9 | 1 John 1:7)
what we believe
About the MARRIAGE
We believe that we are created uniquely as male and female. We believe the Bible teaches that God established marriage in the beginning as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman; that He has reserved sexual intimacy as an expression of love and commitment between married couples; and that any intimate expression of sexuality outside of Biblical marriage is sin.
(Matthew 19:4-6 | Genesis 2:22-35 | Romans 1:18-31)
