The Doctrinal Statement of MAF

We Believe In:

• The divine inspiration of the Bible; that it is inerrant in the original writings, and is of supreme and final authority in faith and practice.
• One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• The creation of man in the divine image, man's subsequent fall through sin, resulting in universal guilt and total depravity; and the necessity, therefore, of redemption and restoration.
• The deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, perfect life, redeeming death, bodily Resurrection, heavenly intercession and His personal return.
• The personality of the Holy Spirit by Whose regenerative work sinful man is born again, and by Whose indwelling regenerate man is enabled to live a godly life.
• The bodily Resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
• The spiritual unity of all believers as comprising the true Church, which has the duty to preach the Gospel to every creature.
