GBTIS Mission
This seminary was established with the purpose of training workers of Christ who will bear the missionary and even martyr-like calling of world evangelization, grounded in a conservative theology that believes the Old and New Testaments are the inerrant Word of God. Therefore, this seminary will strive to help students grow as disciples and ministers who reflect the image of Christ. We earnestly ask you to devote yourself to this calling, and we pray for God’s blessing upon you.
Matthew 28:19~20
2 Corinthians 3:18
2 Timothy 2:2
Bible
The Old and New Testaments are the canon given by God through divine inspiration, and therefore they are inerrant and possess God’s authority. Furthermore, the Bible addresses not only scientific and historical matters, but also moral and theological aspects.
The Trinity
The all-knowing and all-powerful God exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Special Creation
During the week of creation, within a literal six days, the space-time of the universe, its fundamental order, and living organisms were specially created.
Historicity
Historicity refers to the complete truthfulness and clarity of the record of the primeval history in Scripture. This includes the account that Adam and Eve are the ancestors of humanity, the fall of mankind and the divine curse upon creation as a result, the worldwide flood as a great upheaval upon all humanity, and the origin of nations and languages at the Tower of Babel.
The Son
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, a perfect Lord without any sin. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and incarnated through the virgin birth, making Him both divine and human.
Christology
Christology concerns the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. It refers to His literal and physical death, burial, resurrection, and His exaltation into heaven. Christology is about Christ’s sacrificial atonement for the sins of the world.
Salvation
Salvation refers to personal deliverance from eternal punishment. It is possible only by God’s grace, based on the atonement accomplished through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is offered solely through personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ.
Satan
Satan is a malicious being who tempts and accuses. An eternal place of punishment has been prepared for him and his followers, where they will suffer forever.
The End Times
The end times involve eternal reward and punishment. They will establish the eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ and bring to completion His work of creation and redemption.
