Faith Bible Church | This We Believe | Article 7: The Church

Pastor Kevin Fiske continues a series called "This We Believe," an exposition of the Evangelical Free Church of America's (EFCA) Statement of Faith. Article 7 states:
"We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God's grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer."
Visiting numerous biblical texts, Pastor Kevin explains how this statement is a faithful summary of what holy Scripture teaches about the church.
