Raccoon River Bible Camp -- Doctrinal Statement

We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired by God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true Man.

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of the Lord, in His ascension into Heaven and His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.

We believe in "that blessed hope," the personal, pre-millennial, pre-tribulational, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Just and Unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

We believe that all redeemed are kept by the power of God and are thus preserved in Christ.

We believe the modern charismatic movement is unscriptural.

 

Purpose Statement

The purpose of this organization is to win lost souls to the Lord Jesus Christ, to edify the saints, and to encourage the dedication of lives to Christian service through Bible conferences held at Raccoon River Bible Conference grounds each summer. Only outstanding Bible teachers and foreign missionaries who subscribe fully and without mental reservation to the Doctrinal Statement of the corporation and who take a separated stand (from the World Council of Churches or any of its affiliates) in their own place of service shall be invited to minister.
