The basis of Project Timothy shall be the fundamental
truths of Christianity, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, including the
following beliefs:
- There is one God in three Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption, and final judgement.
- The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
It is the supreme Authority in all matters of belief and behaviour.
- Since the fall, the whole of mankind is sinful and guilty, so that everyone is
subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
- The Lord Jesus Christ, God’s incarnate Son, is fully God; He was born of a virgin;
His humanity is real and sinless; He died on the cross, was raised bodily from death
and is now reigning over heaven and earth.
- Sinful human beings are redeemed from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the
sacrificial death once and for all of their representative and substitute, Jesus
Christ, the only mediator between them and God.
- Those who believe in Christ are pardoned all their sins and accepted in God’s sight only because
of the righteousness of Christ to them; this justification is God’s act of
undeserved mercy, received solely by trust in Him and not by their own efforts.
- The Holy Spirit alone makes the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, enabling
them to turn to God from their sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.
- The Holy Spirit lives in all those He has regenerated. He makes them increasingly
Christ-like in character and behaviour and gives them power for their witness in
the world.
- The one holy universal church is the Body of Christ to which all true believers belong.
- The Lord Jesus Christ will return in person, to judge everyone, to execute God’s just
condemnation on those who have not repented and to receive the redeemed to
eternal glory.
