FOUR CARDINAL DOCTRINES OF CIBREST

There are four Fundamental Principles that guide our research in this Institute:

SOLA SCRIPTURA:

The Bible alone is the Holy Spirit inspired divine revelation and the final word in the matter of doctrine and practice (2Tim 3:16)

SOLA FIDE:

Faith alone is the means of obtaining justification (Rom 3: 28, 30; 5:1; Gal 2:16; 3:11, 24; cf. James 2: 19-26)

SOLA GRATIA:

Grace alone is the means of salvation, and works play no role in it (Eph.2:5, 8)

SOLA CHRISTUS:

Christ alone is the Saviour, the only Mediator between God and man (Matt 1:21; Lk.2:11; John 4:42; Acts 5:31; 13:23; Eph 5:23; Phil 3:20; 1Tim 1:1; 2:3; 4:10; 2Tim 1:10; Titus 1:3, 4; 2:10,13; 3:4, 6; 2Peter 1:11: 2: 20; 3:2,18; 1John 4:14; 1:25
