WHAT DOES JEREMY BELIEVE?
Picture
Jeremy W. Johnston is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and he holds to orthodox Christianity articulated by the Apostles creed (see below); he also holds to the Protestant Reformed tradition beautifully conveyed by the "five solas" of the Reformation: "sola Scriptura" the Bible alone is our highest authority, "sola fide" we are saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ, "sola gratia" we are saved by the grace of God alone, "solus Christus" Jesus Christ alone is our Lord, Savior, and King, "soli Deo gloria" we live for the glory of God alone. These five tenets define Jeremy's theological framework but not the bounds of friendship. Jeremy has ministered and served in a variety of Christian and non-Christian contexts.
