Statement of Faith
By Paul Ford
Written at age 14, my official indoctrination
Paul Ford, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Apr 11, 1989
This is the open acknowledgement of my beliefs as a Christian and worshipper of God.
I believe in God as the sole and supreme ruler of every function of his creation, and in his infinite existence and unmeasurable greatness. I believe, first and foremost in God, and worship him accordingly, and also believe in the Holy Trinity of the father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son, Jesus Christ, and of these three entities being one--God, the almighty. I also support the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church, secondly.
I believe in the Trinity as absolute perfection--the father, presiding, the spirit, within, and the son, whose sacrifice resulted in the forgiveness of all of mankind's sins.
I support God the father as the heavenly presider, for God is all, God is everything, and as such, I cannot be anything, least of all in comparison, as I am part of him. I believe in God the Spirit, everywhere and at all times, and his complete control over everything, and his son Jesus Christ--all God and all human, the word made flesh.
