Statement of Faith
The San Diego Rescue Mission desires to see men and women come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The role of "rescue" is to save men, women, and children from spiritual death and start them on the road to spiritual maturity and Newness of Life (Identity in Christ). We strive to be faithful to our call by preaching the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, and Him alone!
The San Diego Rescue Mission's Statement of Faith reads:
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, ultimately authoritative Word of God.
- We believe there is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is deity, that He was born of a virgin, that we are redeemed by His atoning death through His shed blood, that He was bodily resurrected and ascended into Heaven, and that He will come again in power and great glory.
- We believe that men and women and children are saved "By grace through faith and that not of themselves, it is the gift of God" (Eph 2:8), at which time they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whom Christ indwells each believer enabling them to live by a Godly life of obedience as they reach for maturity.
- We believe the Holy Spirit unites all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that together they form one body, the Church.
