Doctrinal Statements
Learn about the core beliefs, values, and theological foundation of Asian Theological Seminary.
- We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testament to have been verbally inspired and are the inerrant and infallible word of God. The scriptures are the supreme and final authority in all matters of life and practice.
- We believe our God exists in three equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ, who was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. As such, He is truly God and truly man.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe on Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
- We believe in the personal, bodily, and pre-millennial return of our Lord Jesus Christ, at which time He will come in glory to set up on the earth a kingdom over which He will reign in righteousness and peace.
- We believe the Holy Spirit is a person possessing all divine attributes. He is God and convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates the believer and sets him apart from the world, placing him into the body of Christ and to dwell in the believer's heart permanently, both of which occur at the time of regeneration.
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death. This separated him from God and passed the same nature and penalty to the human race. Therefore, those who reach a time of moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into heaven, and His current presence there serving as our high priest and advocate.
- We believe that whosoever receives the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior becomes a child of God by faith only and without works. The believer then becomes a new creature created unto good works.
- We believe that the redeemed are kept eternally secure by the power of God through the new birth, the indwelling and sealing of the Holy Spirit, and the intercession of Christ Jesus.
- We believe that all born again still possess the fallen nature of Adam but that God has made full provision whereby His children may be more than conquerors through the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit who indwells each believer forever.
- We believe that God does heal afflictions in answer to believers' prayer with or without means in accordance with His sovereign discretion and will, and that healing cannot be claimed unconditionally as can salvation. The fact that God does not heal is not necessarily an indication of sin or unbelief in the believer's life.
- We believe that the church, in its invisible form, is universal and is the true body and bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. This consists of all born-again believers regardless of denomination or organization.
- We believe that the translation of the church will be followed by the fulfillment of Israel’s seventieth week during which the church, the body of Christ, will be in heaven.
- We believe that the period of great tribulation on the earth will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth.
- We believe that Christ has ordained the observances of immersion baptism and the Lord's Supper until the time of His return.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the unending bliss of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
- We believe in the reality and personality of Satan.
