STATEMENT OF FAITH Destiny College International seeks to serve the Kingdom of God by offering educational opportunities to Christians of various denominational backgrounds. However, the college adheres to the following: Articles of Faith: We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:4-6). We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in his bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule (Matthew 16:16; 1 Peter 2:21-24; 1 Corinthians 14:3-4). We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (Galatians 4:4-7). We believe that deliverance from sin, sickness, and poverty is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers (1 John 1:7-9; Isaiah 53:4; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:16-17). 5
