of Faith The Bible Fellowship Church (BFC) has
adopted this statement of faith and order to declare with clarity and precision
its faith and testimony to the glory of God. The BFC acknowledges as
its sole Head, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of man. It submits to
the written Word of God and to the Holy Spirit as its only sources of guidance
and power in maintaining its redemptive life and work in the world. The BFC has adopted this Faith
and Order (F&O) not in substitution for but in subordination
to the Word of God. These standards have been received as being based on the
Scriptures; even the elements not drawn directly from the Word have been
acknowledged as based on the general rules and tenor of the Word. These
standards seek to provide an effective means for the application of the
teaching of the Scriptures to the faith, worship, government, and discipline
of the church. Although these standards have been acknowledged to be of
lesser importance than the inspired words of the Scriptures, they cannot be
neglected without resulting in serious impairment of the life of the church. The BFC acknowledges as
brethren all those who share its confession of faith in the person and work
of Jesus Christ. It confesses gladly the benefits of the historical and
geographic breadth of this fellowship. It acknowledges specifically the
benefits derived from similar statements of faith and order devised at many
times in the history of the church. It seeks to respond to the responsibilities
that these benefits bring by beseeching Almighty God to indwell it in such a
way that it may, by His grace, bring glory to Himself and blessing to men. View Full Document Download
