What We Believe

 

Central to our beliefs are:

  • The Divine Inspiration and infallibility of the Holy Bible in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Tim 16, 2 Pet 1:21).
  • The Trinity of the Godhead and Unity of the three Persons (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) therein (1 John 5:7).
  • One God, and Father of all who has revealed Himself fully to mankind through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ (1 Tim 2:5).
  • The Deity and Lordship of Jesus Christ as revealed in the whole of the Holy Scriptures (John 10:30).
  • The Personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17).
  • The utter depravity of the whole human nature and the guilt of all mankind since the fall through the deceit of the devil, thereby rendering mankind subject to God's wrath and condemnation (Rom 3:23).
  • The substitutionary atonement for sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God (Heb 9:14).
  • The full salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus alone by the means of which one is born-again (Eph 2:8-9).
  • The Water Baptism by immersion at an age of accountability as an outward demonstration of an inner conviction (Matt 3:13-15).
  • The Baptism of the Holy Ghost for the "Born again" believer, denoting the endowment of power from on high for service evidenced by speaking in tongues (Acts 1:5, 8, 2:1-4).
  • The operation of the gifts of the Holy Ghost subject to sound scriptural guidance (1 Cor 12:6-11).
  • The utmost freewill of the believer in matters of choice at any stage of the Christian life with its resultant consequences (Gal 6:7).
  • One Holy Universal Church which is the Body of Christ, to which all true believers belong (Rom 12:5).
  • Orderliness and comportment in public worship as motivated by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 14:32-33).
  • Christian perfection and holiness, through absolute surrender and consecration (1 Pet 1:15-16).
  • Ministration through the laying on of hands subject to sound Scriptural guidance whereby opportunities are opened to believers to enjoy divine healing and health (Matt 16:18).
  • The Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) in obedience to our Lord's commandment (II Cor 11:20-30).
  • Tithing and free-will offerings as God's financial plan for the Church (Malachi 3:10-12).
  • Corporate and person-to-person evangelism as expression of God's love to the world and in obedience to the Lord's commandment (Matt 28:19-20).
  • Modesty and chastity in all matters of Christian conduct (Col 3:17).
  • The resurrection of our literal bodies, the just and unjust; when the unjust shall receive final judgement (Rev 20:13-15).
  • The Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Judgement seat where He will reward the saints (John 14:2-3; Rev 22:12).
