Faith Statement

Bible

The Bible, both the Old and New Testament, is the only infallible authority concerning God. It was revealed to men through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

(II Tim 3:16, II Pet 1:21)

God

There is one God, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent, revealed in the three persons of the trinity- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

(Deu 6:4, Mat 28:19, 1 Cor 8:6)

.

Jesus

Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh – a fact proven by His virgin birth, sinless life, His works and words, His sacrificial atoning death on the cross, His defeat of the forces of darkness in hell, His bodily resurrection, His appearances to His disciples and His ascension to the right hand of the Father.

(Luk 1:26-38, Isa 7:17, Heb 4:15, Joh 14:9-11, Gal 1:4, Col  2:15, Luk 24, Col 3:1)

Holy Spirit

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers and is freely given to all those who ask for it.

(Act 2:1-4; Luk 11:13)

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers each believer to do the works of Jesus Christ. It is further evidenced by the manifestation of spiritual gifts.

(Joh 14:12; Act 2: 1; 1 Cor 12: 4-11)

Cross

We are only made acceptable to God because of Jesus’s work on the cross. Jesus died the death that we deserve on the cross and by belief in him, our sins are forgiven but only because of his sacrifice.

(Phil 2:6-11, Heb. 1:4)

Salvation

The only means of salvation from eternal damnation and to the life eternal with God in Paradise is by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. In accepting Jesus, an individual’s human spirit is born of God by the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit.

(Rom 10:9-10,  Act 4:12, John 3:3-8, 2 Cor 5:17)

The Church

The Church, as the bride of Christ, will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air at the time appointed by God the Father.

(I Thess 4:16-18, Act 1:11)

.

Great Commission

The Church’s purpose is to be God’s representative figure here on this earth; to bring the Good News of salvation to the lost; to heal the sick and to set the captives free from the bondage of the evil one; and to re-establish the Kingdom of God.

(2 Cor 5:18-20, Acts 1:8, Matt 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18, Luke 11:1-4)

Judgement

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and lost, in divine judgments, rewards and punishments.

(Matt 25:46, Rev 19:20, 20:11-15, 21:8)
