Eucon
International
College
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
Educational Philosophy
The
philosophy of education at Eucon International College is both
Christian and traditional in its approach. We believe in the
teacher-directed method of education. Our system is based on
absolute truths. All truth is biblically based and from God.
It is
the belief of EIC that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, and
inspired Word of God which is the only, supreme, and final authority
in all matters of life. The Bible is not just true and final on the
issues of faith or conduct, but the true and final authority in
all matters and in every subject.
Therefore the Bible is the only solid foundation for
education because God's Word is the sole standard of absolute truth.
The necessity and value of all courses, subjects, and lessons at EIC
find their substantiation in the scriptures.
God, the
Source of all truth, has revealed Himself through
the personal revelation of Jesus Christ, the Living
Word; the written revelation of the Word of God; and the
general revelation of Nature. Therefore, the Revelation of
God is the heart of the EIC curriculum. True education is based on
the truth, and the truth is God's Word.
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 Statement
of Faith
I.
The Scriptures
We
believe that the Bible 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, were supernaturally and verbally inspired and free from
error, as no other writings have ever been or will be. They are the
complete and final revelation of the will of God to man, and so are
the supreme authority in all matters of faith, conduct and
living,
and thus render 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 creating human, all the creations, 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 the perfect, complete humanity, and in the full and
absolute deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, incarnated Word of God,
indissolubly united in one divine-human person, begotten
by the Holy Spirit and miraculously
conceived and born
of the Virgin Mary,
sinless
in His nature and life, infallible in His teaching, having 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; that 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 in the case of 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,
and that 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, two
ordinances: the baptism of believers and the Lord's Supper. We
believe that God has laid upon these churches the task of preaching
the Gospel to every creature, and the edification of 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
after the period of tribulation,
return with His saints to establish
His millennial reign.
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 all faith; that
each church is independent and autonomous, and must be free
from
any interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority;
and
that,
therefore, the church and state must be kept separate having
different functions, 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, so that 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, pleasures, methods of work,
and
secret
societies. Thus, we believe that God’s children should be separated
from sin, the world, false teachers, and disobedient brethren,
including 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
We
believe God
created heavens and earth according to the Scriptures. God created
all things through this special creation of the existing space-time
universe and all its basic systems and kinds of organisms in the six
literal days of the creation week. We believe man was created
special in the image of God.
We believe man
was created special. The Bible reads in Genesis 1:27, “So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him…”
