Testimony

In your own words, please tell us Who God is, what's wrong with humanity and the world, what God did about that problem, and how human beings can be reconciled to Him? (In other words, what is the Gospel?) *

Describe when, where, why and how you came to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and trust Him as Savior in your life? *

When you stand before God after this life, will you live with Him for eternity in the new heavens and new earth? Why? *

Baptism Background

Have you been baptized as a believer? *

This means that you were baptized as one who consciously committed to follow Jesus Christ, knowing that your sins are forgiven because you trust solely in Him (His life, death, resurrection from the dead) for your peace with God.

Yes

No

Not sure

Beliefs

Do you believe the Christian Bible to be the verbally inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God and the sole authority for the way of reconciliation with God and way of living? *

Yes, without reservation

With reservation

No

To the best of your understanding of the Scriptures, are you in sympathy with the Faith and Order and Biblical Principles for Living of the BFC? Will you willingly submit to them? If you teach, will do so in accordance with it? *

"In Sympathy" mean you completely agree with all foundational doctrines such as "The Scriptures, The Trinity, The Deity of Christ, Justification by Faith Alone, etc." Other articles that deal with topics such as "Election and End Times" you may disagree with, but you are comfortable in your conscience to fully participate and receive teaching from a church that teaches them.

Yes

No

If you are in sympathy, but do not agree with one of our Articles, which one(s) and why?
