Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Cornerstone Bible Fellowship based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Revelation
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Ressurection
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
Our Practices
We believe that after salvation believers should be baptized by water to demonstrate that they identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that Biblical baptism is by immersion, as practiced by the early church.
We believe that believers that claim to be living for Christ must celebrate the Lord's Supper/Communion on a regular basis in remembrance of His death, burial and resurrection. Communion is observed each Tuesday during our Bible Study and Prayer Meeting.
We believe that each member of Cornerstone Bible Fellowship should practice Biblical financial giving. In light of all that Christ has done for us and to effectively minister, we encourage each believer to regularly give a sacrificial financial offering to be used for the extension of God's work here in Bermuda.
We believe that the responsibility of every believer is to go out of the church and personally evangelize and lead others to Christ. Upon these persons accepting Christ as Savior, it is then the responsibility of the church to disciple them to grow spiritually and equip them to do the work of the ministry and evangelize to others.
We believe that it is the Pastors' responsibility before God to give themselves to teaching and prayer for the flock under their care. Their primary responsibility before God is to oversee the ministry and equip the saints.
