Statement of Faith

Our foundational biblical beliefs based on the King James Version of the Holy Bible

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"

— 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

1. The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. We hold to the King James Version as our primary English translation. The Scriptures are the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and conduct.

Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:89, 160

2. The Godhead

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and of the same divine nature, yet distinct in person and function. God is infinite, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, just, loving, and unchanging.

Scripture References: Genesis 1:1, 26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-3, 14

3. The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the eternal Son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is fully God and fully man. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, performed miraculous signs, died on the cross as the substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of God.

Scripture References: John 1:1, 14; Isaiah 7:14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 4:14-15

4. The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, fully God. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, seals, and baptizes every believer into the body of Christ. He empowers believers for Christian living, service, and witness.

Scripture References: John 14:16-17, 16:7-15; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9-16

5. Man and Sin

We believe man was created in the image and likeness of God but fell into sin through disobedience. All humanity is born with a sinful nature and is separated from God. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Scripture References: Genesis 1:26-27, 3:1-24; Romans 3:23, 5:12, 6:23

6. Salvation

We believe salvation is the free gift of God, received by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. It is not earned by works. Once saved, a believer is eternally secure in Christ and cannot lose their salvation.

Scripture References: John 3:16, 36, 5:24; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 10:9-13; Ephesians 2:8-9

11. The Millennial Reign and the Little Season

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people. We believe that Jesus Christ has already completed His millennial reign as prophesied in Revelation 20, and that we are currently living in the "little season" described in Revelation 20:3, during which Satan has been loosed for a short time. This is a time of great deception and spiritual warfare before the final return of Christ.

"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

— Revelation 20:7-8 (KJV)

Scripture References: Revelation 20:1-15; Matthew 24:3-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 2 Timothy 3:1-5

Our Foundation

This Statement of Faith represents the core biblical convictions upon which Kyle Lauriano Ministry is built. We stand unashamedly on the Word of God as absolute truth and seek to honor Christ in all we do.

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
