Tel Hai Camp Statement of Faith

  1. We believe all of the Holy Scriptures to be inspired, infallible, inerrant, and relevant for today's living.

  2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.

  4. We believe that all humans are born with a sinful nature and are spiritually dead apart from Christ. We also believe in the sanctity of life and that life begins at conception.

  5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood; and that all who accept Him are members of one body.

  6. We believe in the indwelling, teaching, and convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, which includes a lifestyle in which the way of love is paramount.

  7. We believe the abuse of tobacco, alcohol and addictive drugs is harmful to the body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, and therefore sin.

  8. We believe that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman and is the only faithful context for sexual intimacy and that practicing or condoning sexual activity outside of this relationship is sin.

  9. We believe in the personal return of our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ for His children. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and unsaved; the saved to eternal life, the unsaved to eternal punishment.
