BELIEFS
Statements of faith
1) The bible is the inspired Word of God – We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments excluding the Apocrypha), is the inspired Word of God, the infallible, all sufficient rule for faith and practice.
2) God – We believe in the unity of the One True and Living God who is the Eternal, Self-Existent “I AM”, Who has also revealed Himself as One being co-existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3) Life of Jesus – We believe in the Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, Substitutionary Atoning Death, Bodily Resurrection, Triumphant Ascension and Abiding Intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ and in His personal, visible, bodily return in power and glory as the blessed hope of all believers.
4) Fall of humanity – We believe in the fall of man, who was created pure and upright, but fell by voluntary transgression.
5) Salvation through faith – We believe in salvation through faith in Christ, who, according to the Scriptures, died for our sins, was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, and that through His Blood we have Redemption.
6) New Birth – This experience is also known as the new birth, and is an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
7) Baptism by immersion in water – We believe that all who have truly repented and believed in Christ as Lord and Savior are commanded to be baptised by immersion in water.
8) The Holy Spirit – We believe The Holy Spirit is a member of the God head, who’s responsible for the conviction, repentance, regeneration and sanctification of people. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an enduement of the believer with power for supernatural witness.
9) Gifts of the Holy Spirit – We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit at work in the church today including divine healing.
10) Holiness of life – We believe in holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command of God.
11) The Lord’s Supper – We believe that all who have truly repented and believe in Christ as Lord and Savior should regularly participate in the Lord’s supper until His return.
12) The Resurrection of all people – We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the everlasting conscious bliss of all who truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and the everlasting conscious punishment of all whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
