Our Statement of Faith
I. THE SCRIPTURES
We believe that the Bible, all 66 books, is the Word of God; that it was written by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit so that their writings in the original languages were supernaturally and verbally inspired and free from error, as no other writings have ever been or will be. The Bible is the complete and final revelation of the will of God to man and is the supreme authority in all matters of faith, conduct, and living, and thus renders as unnecessary and unbiblical any further prophetic revelations or apostolic signs.
We believe the full historicity and perspicuity of the biblical record of primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel.
II. THE TRUE GOD
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father
—We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, boundless in love, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ, His Son. We believe that He is the creator of the whole universe, including the creation of humans, all creation, and all the creatures of this world in six solar days.
God the Son
—We believe in Jesus Christ, God the Son, pre‑existent with the Father. We believe in Christ’s perfect, complete humanity and full and absolute deity. He is indissolubly united in one divine-human person, begotten by the Holy Spirit, miraculously conceived and born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in His nature and life, and infallible in His teaching. He made atonement for the sins of the world by His substitutionary death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into Heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people and His glorious second advent according to His promise.
God the Spirit
—We believe in the deity and personality of God the Holy Spirit. We believe that He came from God to convince and convict the world of sin; to reprove the world of righteousness and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, indwell, comfort, and empower those who believe in Jesus Christ.
III. MAN
We believe that man was created in the image of God on the sixth literal day of the beginning of the world. He sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God.
We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and those who reach the age of accountability become sinners in thought and deed by choice.
IV. SATAN
We believe in the reality and personality of Satan, who is the adversary of God and His children. He was originally created by God, but fell from heaven. His destiny is determined: he will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
V. SALVATION AND ASSURANCE
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. As a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, He offers salvation to all who by faith receive Him as their personal Savior, are justified on the ground of His blood shed on Calvary and His resurrection from the dead, and are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become the children of God. We believe in the eternal security of the believer.
VI. THE CHURCH
We believe in the visible local church, which is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship and fellowship. We believe that to these visible churches was committed for perpetual observance of two ordinances: the baptism of believers and the Lord's Supper. We believe that God has laid upon these churches the tasks of preaching the Gospel to every creature, and edifying the individual members of the Body of Christ.
VII. LAST THINGS
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead—the saved to eternal life and blessedness in Heaven and the unsaved to eternal, conscious suffering and woe in Hell. We believe that the blessed hope of the believer is the personal, premillennial and pretribulational return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to rapture His church and the return of his saints to establish His millennial reign after the tribulation.
VIII. CHURCH AND STATE
We believe that every human being has a direct relationship with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith. We also believe that each church is independent and autonomous, and must be free from any interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; therefore, the church and state must be kept separate, with each fulfilling its duties without the dictation and patronage of the other.
IX. CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe that every saved person should manifest the Christian life through a consistent walk in the Holy Spirit, fully and constantly yielding his members to the indwelling Christ. In this way, he may always by life and word show forth the praises of Him who has called him out of darkness into His marvelous light. We believe in a separated life, including but not limited to separation from worldly alliances, worldly pleasures, worldly systems of work, and secret societies. Thus, we believe that God’s children should be separated from sin, the world, false teachers, and disobedient brethren. This includes separation from theological liberalism, neo-evangelicalism, neo-orthodoxy, ecumenism, the charismatic movement, and other unbiblical movements. We believe that it is the responsibility of every Christian to evangelize the lost throughout the world according to the Great Commission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
X. BIBLICAL CREATIONISM
Based on the Scriptures, we believe God created the heavens and the earth. God created all things in this space-time universe, including all of its basic systems and organisms, in six literal days. We also believe that God created man in His own image.
Other Guiding Principles
Our Creed
We believe, hold fast to, and maintain the following fundamentals of the Christian faith:
That the whole Bible is the plenary, divine inspiration of God\'s Word in the original languages and that it is inerrant and infallible with supreme authority in all matters of life.
That there is but one Triune God existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
That God the Son is the Lord Jesus Christ and was born of the virgin Mary to redeem sinful man through His crucifixion on the cross and the shedding of His blood as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice for sinful man; His physical resurrection from the dead; and His second coming.
That through the conviction of the Holy Spirit whosoever repents from sin, confesses Christ as Lord, and believes that God has raised Him from the dead becomes the child of God and has eternal life.
That man is a sinner, in nature and in practice; that he has sinned against the Holy God; and that only through the precious blood of Christ can all his unrighteousness and sin be washed away.
That God's children should be separated from sin, the world, false teachers, and disobedient brethren.
That the Church must evangelize the lost throughout the world according to the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to provide tools in order to help our students change into Christ’s image and accomplish God’s will during their lives. EUCON International University unique program is designed to meet this goal through the provision of quality English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) training as well as degrees in Bible and Education. Our aim is to impact the lives and future of those in Asia and beyond through the spreading of the gospel and the dissemination of sound Bible doctrine.
Our Mission
EUCON International University exists to provide quality biblical education in a Christ-honoring and Spirit-filled environment so that students may be introduced to Jesus Christ, trained in godly character and spiritual discipline, and equipped to be Christian servant-leaders in their societies and reach their homelands for Christ.
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of education of EUCON International University is both Christian and traditional in its approach.
Biblical Foundation:
Our system is based on absolute truth. All truth is Biblically based and from God. Our commitment is to insure that all training at EUCON International University is based on a Biblical foundation and that this foundation of Biblical values is integrated into all disciplines.
Teacher-learning Process:
We believe in the traditional teacher-directed method of education and that effective learning occurs at various levels as demonstrated by the Master Teacher, Jesus Christ. Although knowledge and comprehension are indispensable, our aim is to insure that the higher levels of learning - application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation - are not neglected.
In the learning process, the teacher should serve as the human authority within the classroom. The teacher, not the student, should direct what the student needs to learn, and make him learn it. In order for knowledge to be effectively transmitted, it is necessary that the student demonstrate diligence, Biblical humility, and an eagerness to learn. It is necessary that the teacher be knowledgeable in the subject matter taught, diligent in his
preparation, and willing to sacrifice for his students’ sake.
