Final Authority for Matters of Belief and Conduct

The Statement of Faith (As listed and defined below) does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible (our religions and sacred text) itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Leave No Doubt Inc.’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline; our Board of Directors at Leave No Doubt Inc. has final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

What we believe about The Bible (our religions and sacred text)

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It is written without error under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and has the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, which states, “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

What we believe about God

We believe in the Trinity (John 1:1, John 1:14, 1 John 5:7) – there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons of spirit: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and our worship will consist in worshipping the one true God only as Matthew 4:10 states, “Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.”

We believe that Jesus is the express image of the invisible God, which is to say He is God; that He became man, yet without sin, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; that He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin; that He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified; that He ascended into heaven in that body glorified, where He is now, our interceding High Priest; and that He will return again personally, visibly, and gloriously.

We believe the Lord Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins; He rose victorious from the grave on the third day; He ascended to the right hand of the Father; He makes continual intercession for believers, and all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood. Ephesians 1:7 states, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” And Hebrews 7:25 states, “Therefore, He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him because He always lives to intercede for them.”

We fully adhere to Hebrews 13:8 which states, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

What we believe about Humanity

We believe in the fall of man; although originally created in the image of God, through the disobedience of Adam, man fell into a sinful and spiritually impotent state, totally unable to justify himself before God.

We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Ps. 139, Jeremiah 1:5, Job 33:4, Job 10:11-12, Ephesians 1:3-4, Ps. 82:3)

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the policies of Leave No Doubt Inc..

What we believe about Salvation

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.)

We believe those who choose to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are saved by grace and destined to an eternal life with God Almighty in Heaven. Salvation is wholly of God; by grace; that God in love, gave His only son to die on the cross for sin, thus procuring the redemption of those who come to Him; that this salvation is not merited in any way by man; that God commands men everywhere to repent of sin and believe in Christ; and that this salvation is eternal in its duration. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.”

What we believe about Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality

We believe that to uphold God’s design as written in The Bible, provide a biblical role model, and preserve the function and integrity of Leave No Doubt Inc., we abide by the following Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thess 5:22.)

  • We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as biological male or biological female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God as is stated in Genesis 1:26-27. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
  • We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Gen 2:18-24 and Matt 19:4-5. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4.) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
  • We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, sexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-19; 1 Cor 6:9-10.)
