Here are the core beliefs held by TGK.
-
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and is true and accurate, in every area on which it touches, as far as it is correctly translated.
-
The Bible is the complete written revelation of God given for the salvation of mankind and is the sufficient and final authority regarding Christian life and faith.
-
The Bible should be interpreted using the historical-grammatical approach (i.e. it means what it says, according to the language of the time).
-
There are no secret messages in the Bible, especially not ones that will be "revealed" by non-Christians hundreds (or thousands) of years later.
-
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Doctrine of the Trinity).
-
Jesus Christ is God the Son who became flesh and lived on Earth as a man. He was born of a virgin, led a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and physically rose again on the third day. He is eternal; the first and the last. There is no one else through whom man can be made right with God.
-
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Jesus, not by works. Good works are a result of salvation.
-
TGK is non denominational, though we believe there are true believers in almost every religious group that claims to be Christian.
-
Heaven and Hell are real places, and God will divide humanity between the two on judgement day.
-
Ultimately, if the Bible preaches it, TGK believes it.
