CONFESSION OF FAITH OF THE PCI

We the members of the Presbyterian Church of India affirms:

Article : I
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God and the only
infallible rule of Faith and duty.

Article : II
There is but one God, and He alone is to be worshipped, He is a spirit, self-existent,
self-omnipresent, yet distinct from all other spirits and from all material things;
infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice,
goodness, truth and love.

Article : III
In the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and
these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

Article : IV
God who created the heaven and the earth and all things therein, created man, male
and female, after His image, in origin, and are brethren.

Article : V
Man by his own free choice has transgressed God’s law and thereby has involved
himself in guilt and corruption. To save man from the guilt, corruption and penalty of
sin, and to give them eternal life, God in his infinite love sent into the world His
eternal and only – begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom alone man can be
saved. The Eternal Son became true man and so was and continues to be the Son
forever. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary, yet without sin. For sinful men He perfectly obeyed the law of God, and offered
Himself a true and perfect sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and reconcile man to
God. He died on the Cross, was buried and rose again from the death on the third
day. He ascended to the right hand of God where He makes intercession for His
people, and whence He shall come again to raise the death and to judge the world.

Article : VI
The Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, makes man partakers of
salvation convincing them of their sins and misery, enlightening their minds in the
knowledge of Christ, renewing their wills, persuading and enabling them to accept
Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and working in them all the fruits of righteousness.
Article : VII
God in Christ makes a full and free offer of salvation to all men, and commands them
to repent of their sins to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and to live
a humble and holy life after His example and in obedience to God’s revealed will.
Those who believe in Christ and obey Him are saved, receiving forgiveness of sins,
justification, adoption as sons of God, sanctification through the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit and eternal glory. Believers may also in this life enjoy assurance of their
salvation. In His gracious work the Holy Spirit uses the means of grace especially the
Word, sacraments and prayer.

Article : VIII
The sacraments instituted by Christ are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism is
the washing with water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit and is a sign and seal of our union to Christ, of regeneration and renewing of
the Holy Spirit, and of our giving ourselves to the Lord. It is to be administered to
such as repent of the sins and profess faith in Christ their Saviour, and to their
Children
The Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the bread and the cup as a memorial of
Christ’s death and is a sign and seal of the benefits thereof to believers. It is to be
observed by His people till He comes, in token of their faith in Him and His sacrifice,
of their appropriation of its benefits of their further giving of themselves to serve Him,
and of their communion with Him and with one another. The benefits of the
sacraments are not from any virtue in them or in him that administers them, but only
from the blessing of Christ and the working of His Spirit in them that by faith receive
the Sacrament.

Article : IX
It is the duty of all believers to unite in church fellowship, to observe the sacraments
and other ordinances of Christ, to obey His laws, to continue in prayer, to keep holy
the Lord’s Day, to meet together for His worship, to wait upon the preaching of His
Word, to give as God may prosper from them, to manifest a Christ-like spirit among
themselves and towards all men, to labour of the extension of Christ’s kingdom
through the world, and to wait for His glorious appearing.

Article : X
At the last day the death shall be raised and all shall appear before the judgment
seat of Christ and shall be judged according to the deeds done in this present life
whether good or bad, the unbelieving and the wicked, being condemned, shall suffer
the punishment due to their sins, but those who have believed in Christ and obeyed
Him shall be openly acquitted and received into glory.
