The basis of the Okinawa Christian School Mission is the infallible Word of God.
The following statement is the doctrinal basis of the Mission. We believe in:
- The inerrancy of the Holy Scriptures as originally given, their plenary inspiration by God, and their supreme authority as the only rule of faith and practice.
- The Trinity of the Godhead – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who are the same in substance, equal in power, and glory.
- The essential, absolute, and eternal deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His real but sinless humanity, His substitutionary and atoning death as the all – sufficient sacrifice for sin. His resurrection from the dead on the third day in that very body that had lain in the tomb. His ascension into heaven as the only Mediator between God and man. And His visible personal return in power and glory.
- The personality and deity of the Holy Spirit by Whom the believer is regenerated and sanctified through the Word of Truth.
- The lost estate of man through the Fall and his salvation solely by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, Whose righteousness imputed to him is the ground of his acceptance before God.
- The resurrection of the body, the judgment of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, the everlasting and conscious punishment of the lost.
- The spiritual unity of all who truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and their duty to maintain in all their relationships a standard of life and doctrine that is conformity with the teaching of God’s Word.
