Truths & Beliefs

We Believe:

The Chaplain on Board Initiative is a Christian Organization, based on the pure undiluted Word of God. Though we serve mankind without prejudice, judgment, or preference, only those who live an active life through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God, redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and following the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ as contained in the Bible, will be considered for ordination as volunteer Chaplain.

We do not profess to be perfect, as no man in our current state can claim this, but we do choose to strive to live as the Apostle Paul proclaimed in Galatians 2:20

"I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself on my behalf. "

Our Confession:

1. The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, are divinely inspired, inerrant, entirely trustworthy, and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith, conduct, and life.

2. The Trinitarian God of the Bible, one in substance, manifests in three functions: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

a. God the Father, the first person of the Divine Trinity, is infinite Spirit –sovereign, eternal, unchangeable in all His attributes. He is worthy of honor, adoration, and obedience.

b. The Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His divine miracles, His vicarious death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His personal return in power and glory.

c. The Holy Spirit, by whose filling and indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to all believers; however, the manifestation of any particular gift is not required as evidence of salvation.

3. The salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, apart from works, a free gift of God’s grace, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. That the work completed at Calvary by our Lord provides salvation that touches humanity: spirit, soul, and body. The new birth for the spirit, a sound mind for the soul, and healing for the body.

9. Satan, who exists as a personal, malignant being who acts as a tempter and accuser, for whom the place of eternal punishment was prepared, where all who die outside of Christ shall be confined in conscious torment for eternity.

10. The unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ, which is commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.

11. The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation.
