What
We Believe
We believe, the Bible to
be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. As such,
it is the standard of faith and the rule of conduct and the final authority
in all matters of life. (2 Timothy 3:16)
We believe, that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19;
2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe, in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand
of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1, 14:
Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 1:26-35; 1Timothy 2:5; I Pet. 2:24; Heb. 9:11-14)
We believe, that for people to be delivered from their sins and to come into
right relationship with God that a person must repent of their sins, turn back
to God through faith in Jesus Christ and be transformed by regeneration through
the Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 59:1-2; Acts 2:28; 4:12; 16:31; Romans 10:9-13; Titus
3:3-7: 1John 1:9)
We believe, in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life; that the Holy Spirit is at work today
within the Church, which is made up all true believers through His gifts, fruits
and anointed ministers. (Romans 12:6-8; 1Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22-23;
Ephesians 4:11; I Corinthians 12:27-28)
We believe, in the full function of the five-fold ministry, which was given to
perfect and equip the saints so they can enter into the work of their ministry,
thereby edifying the whole Body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-16; I Corinthians
12:28)
We believe, in the present day ministries of the apostles and prophets, which
Christ has set in the Church as foundational and revelational ministries. We
believe these two ministries will be restored to function in full power and authority
before the literal second coming of Christ. (Ephesians 2:20; Acts 3:21)
We believe, in the resurrection of both the believer and the non-believer: those
who are believers to the resurrection of life, and those who are non-believers
to the resurrection of condemnation. (John 5:24-29; Rev. 20:11-15)
