Alaska Christian Ministry to Seafarers

Doctrinal Statement

• We believe in one Holy God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the Virgin Birth, in the complete deity and complete humanity of Jesus Christ uniquely joined together in one person, and in the bodily resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ.
• We believe in the deity and personality of God, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells, seals and baptizes the believer into the body of Christ at conversion. The fruit of the Spirit is evidence of His presence. The gifts of the Spirit are for the edification of the body of Christ, His church.
• We believe the Bible is verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings, and is the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
• We believe man was created sinless; he willfully sinned which rendered him hopelessly lost before God.
• We believe that man's salvation is by grace through faith based solely on the substitutionary atonement of Christ.
• We believe in the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of all who reject our Lord Jesus Christ.
• We believe in the personality and eternal punishment of Satan.
• We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is composed solely of those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
• We believe in the personal, imminent and premillenial return of Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones.
• We believe that the two ordinances of the local church are the Lord's supper and believer's baptism.
• The Alaska Christian Ministry to Seafarers is an evangelical, fundamental organization. We conclude, on the basis of scripture, that the practice of speaking in tonges should not be emphasized nor made normative for the Christian experience.
