Statement of Faith

The ministry of the Kentucky Released Time Bible Education Association is built upon what we believe, based on the Word of God and consistent with historical evangelical Christianity.
We believe there is one God, Creator, and Sustainer of the Universe, who externally exists and reveals Himself in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God, by His sovereign choice, and out of Love for men sent Christ into the World to save sinners.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, is inerrant in the original manuscripts and uniquely infallible, and that it is the divinely authoritative standard for every age and life.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary sacrifice upon the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His victory over sin and His enemy, Satan, in His present exaltation at the Father's right hand, and His personal return, at any time, in power and great glory.
We believe that God, the Holy Spirit, is a person who convicts of sin, regenerates, and whose indwelling enables the believer to live a godly life with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ and to help them serve and glorify God.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, and in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and of themselves are utterly unable to remedy their lost condition.
We believe that salvation is deliverance from sin and spiritual death by God's grace through faith in Christ alone, entirely apart from works.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all mankind. Those who have trusted in Christ, the Ultimate Judge, will receive everlasting live and blessedness in the presence of God in heaven. Those who have not will receive everlasting punishment and be eternally seperated from the presence of God.
We believe that Christ has commanded His Church to preach the Gospel to all people, and that this mandate should be a primary concern of all Christians.
