What CTL Believes

  • The Bible is the complete, inspired, and infallible Word of God. It is the final authority for Christian faith, worship, and conduct
  • In one Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
  • In the virgin birth, death, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ
  • In the sinfulness of every man; that sin separates man from God
  • That Jesus Christ died for men's sins as a substitutionary sacrifice. Salvation cannot be earned by good works but only through faith in Jesus Christ
  • That believers are baptized into the body of Christ at the moment of salvation
  • That believers are sealed and eternally kept by the power of the Holy Spirit
  • In the resurrection of the dead of all men - the saved to everlasting blessedness; the lost to everlasting punishment
  • In two ordinances: Baptism, for believers by immersion and the Lord's Supper
  • In the personal and imminent return of Jesus Christ
