Statement of
Faith
We believe
that the Bible in its entirety is the
inspired Word of God and the only infallible
and authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
(II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20, 21)
We believe in
One God, eternally existent in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and
that in Jesus Christ “dwelleth all the
fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians
2:9; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 10:30; John
14:26, John 15:26; Matt. 28:19)
We believe in
the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His
virgin birth, His sinless life, His
miracles, His vicarious and atoning death,
His bodily resurrection. His ascension to
the right hand of the Father and His
personal return in power and glory. (I
Timothy 3:16; Acts 1:11; Romans 8:34)
We believe in
complete salvation by grace through faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ and obedience to the
gospel by repentance of sins and baptism by
immersion in water. (Ephesians 2:8; Acts
2:38, Acts 8:35-39)
We believe in
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the
evidence of speaking in other tongues as the
Spirit giveth utterance, and in the
manifestation of the Holy Spirit operative
in the church of Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:38,
39, Acts 9:6; I Corinthians 12:4-11)
We believe in
the observance of the Lord’s Supper as a
memorial of His broken body and the New
Testament in His blood. (I Corinthians
11:24, 25)
We believe
that at the return of Jesus Christ “the dead
in Christ shall rise first; then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17)
We believe in
the final eternal judgment at which time the
condemned will be cast into the lake of
fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)
We believe
that marriage constitutes a bond of
life-time commitment between one man and one
woman and that it is the only legitimate,
honourable and holy estate instituted by
God. It was ordained of God as the
foundation and bond of family life for the
mutual help and comfort of husband and wife,
and for the welfare of the state. (Genesis
2:22(b) – 25; Proverbs 18:22; Hebrews 13:4;
I Corinthians 7:10 & 11; I Corinthians 6:9 &
10; Romans 1:24 – 32) |
