Statement of Faith
Alpha Omega Theta Christian Fraternity, Inc. is just that, a CHRISTIAN organization, we’ are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe in his gospel, that we’ are commissioned to the world...
So what is the Gospel?
The gospel is the most important communication of God to man. In Jesus, we have the revelation of God’'s love and sacrifice that saves us from God's righteous judgment on sinners.
The Bible tells us what the gospel is in 1 Cor. 15:1-4,
“Now I make known to you brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..."
The Bible also says that we are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). This means that we have all offended God. We have all broken His law; therefore, we are guilty of sin. Because of this, we are separated from God (Isaiah 59:2), are dead in our sins (Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:3), cannot please God (Rom. 3:10-11), and will suffer damnation (2 Thess. 1:9). The only way to escape this judgment is by receiving Christ, and trusting in what Jesus did for us on the cross (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Pet. 2:24).
Since we’ are sinners, we’ are incapable of removing the guilt of our sinfulness through our own efforts. Gal. 2:21 says, "if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." So basically, we can’t become righteous by what we do because we’re dead in our sins (Eph. 2:3).
We cannot remove our own sins, God must do it.
Jesus, who is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; 8:58; Col. 2:9), took our sins in His body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). He died in our place. He paid the penalty of breaking the Law of God that should have fallen on us. He satisfied God the Father by dying on the cross.
We as the brothers of Alpha Omega Theta Christian Fraternity, Inc. also believe in the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three persons in one. We also believe in the baptism of water as an external representation of an inner change of leaving the old man, and becoming new.
