We believe
that the Bible is eternal truth without any mixture of
error and is the complete and final revelation of the
will of God to man (Ps 119:160; Jn 17:17; Rev 22:18-19;
2 Tim 3:16).
We believe that the
Bible teaches that there is one and only one eternal and
true God, but He is manifested in three separate persons
in the Godhead: The Father, The Son, and The Holy
Spirit. These three are co-existent, co-equal, and
co-eternal (Jn 1:1; I Jn 5:7; Mt 3:16-17).
We believe
that He is all knowing (omniscient Ps 147:5); all
powerful (omnipotent Job 42:2); everywhere present
(omnipresent Ps 139); and His nature is absolutely
unchangeable (immutable Mal 3:6).
We believe
that He took upon Himself human form through the virgin
birth for the purpose of redemption (Jn 1:14; Mt 1:18).
That he led a sinless human life and offered Himself as
the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by
dying on a cross (Heb 9:23-28, 10:10). That He
physically arose from the dead after three days to
demonstrate His power over sin and death (1 Cor 15:3-4;
Rom 1:3-4). That He ascended to heaven's glory and
is at the right hand of the Father serving as our
mediator, and He will return to reign as King of Kings
and Lord of Lords (Acts 1:9, 11; Titus 2:13; I Tim 2:5;
Rom 8:34).
We believe
that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person equal with God
The Father and God The Son and of the same nature (Jn
16:13; Acts 5:3-4). That He is present in the
world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ.
He indwells every believer from the moment of salvation.
He provides the believer with power for living and
witnessing, understanding of spiritual truth and
guidance in doing what is right (Acts 1:8; Jn 16:7-13,
14:16-17). Upon salvation, He gives every believer
a spiritual gift for the work of the ministry (Eph
4:7-16).
We believe
that Salvation, the reconciliation of man's fallen
relationship with God, is a Divine work solely dependent
upon the grace of God through the finished work of
Christ (Rom 5:11; Jn 1:12-13; Eph 1:7). That
Salvation is a free gift available to all men. It cannot
be earned by any works of man (Eph 2:8-9; Jn 3:14-16).
That man receives Salvation upon hearing the Word of
God, being convicted of his lost condition, repenting
and putting his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as his
personal Saviour (Rom 10:17; Rom 10:9,10; Acts 3:19,
4:12). That Salvation is eternally secure through
Jesus Christ (Jn 10:27-30).
We believe
in the return of Christ as described in the following
two events: The return of Christ in the
clouds for His church before the Tribulation period (The
Rapture - 1 Thess 4:16-18; Rev 3:10, 4:1) and the
Pre-Millennial return of Christ to the earth to rule and
reign (Zech 14:1-4; Rev 19:11-16).
We believe
people are created to exist forever. We will either
exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally
with God through His forgiveness and salvation (Jn
3:16-18; Rom 8:7,18). That those who have put
their trust in Christ will live forever with Him in a
literal Heaven (Rev 21:1-4). That those who
reject Christ will be cast into the Lake of Fire with
the devil and his angels for all eternity (Rev
20:10-15). |
