The Basis of Faith of Timberline Lodge and the Missionary Fellowship of Torchbearers:
We believe in the triune God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, in equality with the Father, and that by Him, and for Him, the Father created all things.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ became man through the miraculous activity of the Holy Spirit, and was born of the Virgin Mary.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was without sin, and that He, as the Lamb of God without blemish, died willingly in the place of sinners to become the Redeemer of this fallen world. We believe that He is the only Mediator, through whose redeeming Blood and by faith in whom alone We receive the forgiveness of sins.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has risen bodily from the dead, that He appeared to His disciples and returned to the Father; that on the day of Pentecost He came in the person of the Holy Spirit to dwell within the hearts of all who had received Him, and thereby established His Body on earth, His Church, the fellowship of all true believers, of which He is the Head.
We believe in God the Holy Spirit, co-equal Member of the Trinity. We believe that He is present in the hearts of all who through faith have received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and who thereby are born again, children of God, and are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return to deliver just judgement and to bring all things to completion.
We believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is the revelation of God for mankind, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Finally we declare that we are converted, in that as a sinner in need of salvation we have already turned to the Lord Jesus Christ and have received Him as mine/our personal Saviour and Lord. We believe that in accordance with His promise He has accepted us and saved us, not according to our merits, but according to His infinite grace, and that He now lives in us by His Holy Spirit, has given us eternal life, and made us a child of God. We confess Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, as My Saviour, Lord and Life before all men.
