STATEMENT OF FAITH
Silver Saddle Christian Academy believes, teaches, and preaches the following:
I. The divine inspiration of all Scripture as the inerrant Word of God. (II Tim.
3:16)
II. The absolute oneness of the Godhead in Jesus Christ and the absolute deity
of Jesus Christ. (Deut. 6:4; Col. 2:9)
III. The new birth, which is repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy
Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit
gives the utterance. (John 3:5; Acts 2:4; Acts 2:38)
IV. The necessity of a holy life unspotted by the world, exemplified by the
believer's actions, words, and deeds. (I Peter 2:9)

The One True God
We believe and preach the One creator God, and Father of all, who is one in
being and person!
The Bible Plan of Salvation is your opportunity
You can make a lasting change and open the doors for God to work in your life!
Baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is given for remission of sins.
It's the teaching of the Apostles! The "promise of the Father" is fulfilled in
the Baptism of the Holy Ghost (Luke 24:49. Acts 1:5,9, 2:1-4)

One God in Christ Jesus
GOD
There is only ONE GOD; the Creator of the heavens and the earth and of all
mankind, manifested to mankind as FATHER (creator) SON, (savior), and HOLY GHOST
(indwelling Spirit) (Romans 8:11).
God is by nature, a spirit (John 4:24). Wheel of Prophecy
FATHER
God is a Spirit (John 4:24), the Eternal One, the Creator of all things; and of
course, of all men, thus making Him their Father (through creation).
He is the FIRST and the LAST and beside Him there is no other. (Isaiah 44:6)
There was no God formed BEFORE Him, neither shall there be after Him.
The title "Father" used by Jesus, refers to Deity
SON
Jesus is the SON of God according to the flesh (Romans 1:3), and the very God
Himself according to the Spirit. Jesus is the Christ (Matt 1:23); God made flesh
(John 1:1-14); God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim 3:16); He which was, which is,
and which is to come. THE ALMIGHTY (Rev 1:8; Isaiah 9:6).
To this Jesus Himself testified when he said, "He that hath seen me hath seen
the father" (John 14:7-11); and "I and the Father are ONE" (John 10:30).
Since it took the shedding of blood for the remission of sins of the world
(Hebrews 9:22), God as the Father being a Spirit had no blood to shed; so He
prepared a body of flesh and blood (Hebrews 10:5), that He might fulfill the
prophecy of Isaiah 43:11; "Beside ME there is no SAVIOR"; and caused the angels
to sing "For there is born this day in the city of David, a SAVIOR which is
CHRIST THE LORD".
Hebrews 1:3 refers to Jesus as "the express image of [God's] person". No wonder
Jesus could say "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9)
The title Son, used by Jesus Christ, and by Deity (such as at the Jordan
baptism) refers to humanity.
HOLY GHOST
The HOLY GHOST is not the third person in the Godhead, but rather the
manifestation of the Spirit of God (the Creator), and of the resurrected Christ,
coming to dwell in the hearts and lives of all men who will be obedient to the
gospel, and the Comforter, Sustainer, and the Keeper (John 14:16-26; Romans
8:11).
When we use the title "Holy Ghost" after the Day of Pentecost (or when Jesus
used it referring ahead to this era), it is referring to the immanent God, who
works in human lives for regeneration BY that spirit since Pentecost.
So there are not three GODS, or persons, but three manifestations of ONE GOD who
we know by the revealed face of God, Jesus Christ, God in Flesh.
"These three are one" (1 John 5:7)
