DADS-PLACE / ENCOUNTER 2021 - Statement of Faith
Romans 10:9
We believe Jesus is the true son of GodThat he was born of a virginThat he lived a sinless life on EarthThat he willingly died for the salvation of all mankindThat he rose again in victory over death three days laterThat he is alive with the father in heaven nowThat he will one day return for all who have accepted him as their Lord & Savior That anyone who confesses this with their mouth and believes it in their heart will be saved from an eternity separated from God
There is Hope!
