-
We believe in the Holy Bible as the
authoritative WORD OF GOD, sufficient in all matters of faith and practice (II Timothy 3:16-17; II
Peter 1:21)
-
We believe that all men have sinned and
have fallen short of the glory of God and that salvation is through repentance and faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:12; Rom. 3:5-9; Acts 20:20-21).
-
We believe in the Eternal Godhead; God the
Father and creator of the universe; God the Son and the Saviour of the world; and God the Holy
Spirit, the Comforter. These are distinct and separate persons possessing separate distinct and
recognizable personalities and qualities and yet one (Heb 9:14; 1 Jn 5:7; II Cor 13:14).
-
We believe in water baptism by immersion
inn the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as a mark of repentance (Matt 28:19-20).
-
We believe in the Lord's Supper which is
the regular breaking of bread, remembering his death and suffering till he comes (I Cor 11:23; Matt
26:26-29)
-
We believe in sanctification which is the
personal holiness of those that are saved, and this of course is positional, practical, and
progressive. (Heb 12:14; I Pet 1:16; Rom 2:1-2; I Thess 4:3)
-
We believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit
which is the enduement power from on high with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues (Acts
2:4; Acts 9:6)
-
We believe in divine healing as provided in
the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the sick in answer to simple prayer of faith in
his name only (Matt 8:16-17; James 5:14-16; Isa 53:4-5).
-
We believe in the universality of the
Church, that the Church is the universal body of Christ which is made up all those that are washed
by the blood of Christ. It is the will of God for all believers to identify themselves with a local
assembly for the purpose of fellowship, evangelism and discipleship (Eph 1:21-32; Heb 10:25).
-
We believe in the second coming of Christ
to rapture the church and his millennial reign (I Thess 4:16-17; Rev 20:1-3).
-
We believe in the final judgment of all
flesh and eternal heaven and eternal hell (Rev 19:20; Rev 2:11-15; II Cor 5:10; Rom 14:21; Lk 16:24;
Rev 14:10-11)
-
We believe in the new heaven and the new
earth (II Pet 3:13; Rev 21:22)
