A
Synopsis of the Beliefs of the Presbyterian Church in
America (PCA)
-
There is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father,
Son and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved,
honored, and adored.
-
All mankind participated in Adam's fall from his
original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and
totally helpless.
-
The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own
unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners
from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power
of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and
resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.
-
Those sinners whom the Spirit quickens, come to believe in Christ as
Savior by the Word of God, are born again, become sons
of God, and will persevere to the end.
-
Justification is by faith and through it the undeserving
sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.
-
The goal of God's salvation in the life of the Christian
is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of
God.
-
At
death the Christian's soul passes immediately into the
presence of God and the unbeliever's soul is eternally
separated from God unto condemnation.
-
Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when
He is not expected, to consummate history and the
eternal plan of God.
