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.
