Doctrinal Statement
I/ WE, International Evangelical School of Universal Studies – IESUS, embrace the heritage of Evangelical faith and theology based on the five pillars:
1/ Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone): The Bible (66 books) is our ultimate authority.
2/ Sola Fide (Faith Alone): Through faith alone in Jesus Christ, we are saved.
3/ Sola Gratia (Grace Alone): By the grace of God alone, we are saved.
4/ Solus Christus (Christ Alone): Jesus Christ alone is our Savior, Lord, and King.
5/ Soli Deo Gloria (to the Glory of God Alone): For the glory of God alone, we live.
II/ WE also adopt other two pillars:
1/ Solus Spiritus (Spirit Alone): The Holy Spirit alone is our Regenerator, Sanctifier, and Empowerer.
2/ Sola Ecclesia (Church Alone): The Universal Church is Christ’s Body alone in which all believers are incorporated as a family, through which we are edified together, and via which we bring the gospel of salvation to the world.
III/ WE do confess that:
1/ The Triune God exists eternally and equally in Three Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2/ The Holy Bible, consisting of 66 books, is the infallible Word of God and the Christian canon for our faith and practice.
3/ The gospel of salvation is unchanged in essence, however, can be contextualized in form.
4/ The mission of the church is to preach and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to all cultural and ethnic groups.
5/ The second coming of Jesus Christ is certain, and He will judge the living and the dead.
6/ The bodily resurrection and the eternal life of all believers are assured and waited for.
7/ The heaven is destined for the justified believers, and the hell, for the unsaved.
