God is one — eternally self-existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4-5; Mt. 28:19).
The Old and New Testaments (66 Books) are the Word of God — divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, the supreme authority in faith and conduct (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord — His virgin birth, sinless life, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, present mediatorial work, and future personal return in power and glory (Lk. 1:32-33; Jn. 1:1-4; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 6:13-16).
The Holy Spirit is God — the third Person of the Godhead, indwelling every believer upon conversion, enabling a holy life, witness in power, and work for Christ (Acts 5:3-4; Mt. 28:19; Acts 1:8).
Satan is a fallen angel whose intent is to supplant God; his ultimate end is eternal punishment (Lk. 10:17-18; Rev. 20:10).
Man was made in the image of God, sinless, but by choice fell into sin. Salvation comes freely by faith in Jesus Christ through regeneration by the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26-28; 3:1-21; Jn. 1:11-13; 1 Cor. 12:13).
All true believers are one Body, of which Christ is the Head (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:14-22).
The bodily resurrection of all the dead — believers to everlasting blessedness, unbelievers to judgment (Rev. 20:11-15; 2 Cor. 5:9-10).
Christian International Bible College & Theological Seminary Ethiopia (CIBCTSE) was founded in 2019 G.C. by Dr. Alemayehu Dana Borena in Wolaita Sodo City, southwestern Ethiopia, to train evangelical and Pentecostal leaders for inner-city ministry. It holds a licence from the Council of Gospel Believers Churches, South Ethiopia region office (Ref.No: SERC/22/2018) and a licence to open educational institutions from the Southern Ethiopia Region Government under Decree No. 980/2008 — a legally licensed institution of the Ministry of Trade & Regional Integration of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
