The
George Whitefield Society is not affiliated with any one denomination;
however, we are committed to the five "Alones" which form
the core of Reformation theology. These five doctrinal points
are:
SCRIPTURE
ALONE! We reaffirm the inspired and inerrant Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments to be the sole source of written
divine revelation, which alone can bind the conscience. The
Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation
from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behavior
must be measured.
CHRIST
ALONE! We reaffirm that our salvation is accomplished
by the work of the unique Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ,
alone. His sinless life and substitutionary death upon the
cross alone are sufficient for our justification and reconciliation
to God the Father.
GRACE
ALONE!
We reaffirm that in salvation we are rescued from God's wrath
by His grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy
Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from our bondage
to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life.
FAITH
ALONE!
We reaffirm that justification is by grace alone through faith
alone because of Christ alone. In justification Christ's righteousness
is imputed to us as the only possible satisfaction of God's
perfect justice.
TO
GOD ALONE BE GLORY!
We reaffirm that because salvation is of God and has been
accomplished by God, it is for God's glory and that we must
glorify Him always. We must live our entire lives before the
face of God, under the authority of God and for His glory
alone.
