Our Articles of Faith
Oasis Christian Academy maintains the fundamental teaching of God’s Word (Bible).
We believe:
- the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative rule of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:16).
- there is one God, eternally co-equal, co-existent, and co-eternal in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:4-6)
- in the pre-existence, incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and ascension to Heaven of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His promised second coming to earth in power and glory to rule a thousand year. (1 Peter 2:21-24, 1 Corinthians 15:3, John 3:16).
- in the fall of man and the need of regeneration by the Holy Spirit on the basis of grace, through repentance and faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:21-30; Galatians 4-7).
- the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provided healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer. (1 Corinthians. 1:18; Ephesians. 2:16; Colossians. 1:20).
- the baptism of the Holy Spirit is provided for all believers and produces the fruit of the Spirit in the believer’s life. (Mark 1:8; Act 2:4; Galatians. 5:22-26)
- in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life of righteous works, separated from the world, witnessing the saving grace of God through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:8, 9:31; Romans 15:13)
- in the Blessed Hope, the rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming. (1Thessalonians 4:18; Rev. 21:20)
- in the resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation. (John 5:24, 28, 29)
- in the unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:3-6).
Students and parents are expected to regularly attend and belong to a Bible-believing church.
