The Bible
We believe in the divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. That the Bible is infallible in its declaration, final in its authority, all-sufficient in its provisions and comprehensive in its sufficiency. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).
-
The One True God
We believe in the existence of the One True God, Elohim, Maker of the whole universe; indefinable, but revealed as Triune Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - one in nature, essence and attributes; Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19; Genesis 1:26).
-
Man's Depraved Nature
We believe that: "all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God"; are subject to eternal punishment; and need repentance and regeneration (Genesis 3:1-19; Isaiah 53:6).
-
The Savior
We believe that man's need of a Savior has been met in the person of Jesus Christ, because of His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, resurrection and ascension; His abiding intercession and second coming (John 8:46; 14:30; Colossians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Romans 3:25; Acts 2:36; Philippians 2:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
-
Five Fold Ministry We believe in the office of the five fold. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. To equip, edify and empower the believers. (Ephesians 4:11, 12)
-
Repentance, Salvation and Sanctification
We believe all men have to repent of and confess their sins before God and believe in the vicarious death of Jesus Christ to be justified before God. We believe in the sanctification of the believer through the working of the Holy Spirit and in God's gift of Eternal Life to the believer (Acts 2:38; Luke 15:7; Romans 4:25; 5:16; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
-
The Sacraments of Baptism and The Lord's Supper
We believe in the Sacrament of Baptism by immersion as a testimony of a convert who has attained a responsible age of about 15 years (Luke 3:21; Mark 16:16). [Infants and children are not baptized but are dedicated to the Lord] (Luke 2:22-24, 34; Mark 10:16). We believe in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper which should be partaken of by all members who are in full fellowship (Luke 22:19-20; Matthew 26:21-29; Acts 20:7).
-
Baptism, Gifts and Fruit of The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Holy Fire for believers with signs following; and in the operation of the gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. The believers also need to understand that the fruits of the Holy Spirit need to be worked upon and must be evident in the life of believer. (1 Corinthians 12:8-11; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4; Galatians 5:22).
-
New Life
We believe in the Resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; they that are saved to the resurrection of life, and the unsaved to the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2; Romans 2:7; 6:23; Acts 20:35).
-
Tithes and Offerings
We believe in tithing and in the giving of free-will offerings towards the cause of carrying forward the Kingdom of God. We believe that God blesses a cheerful giver (Malachi 3:10; Hebrews 7:1; Luke 6:38; Acts 20:35).
-
Divine Healing
We believe that the healing of sickness and disease is provided for God's people in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:7, 17; Mark 16:18; James 5:14-16; Luke 13:10-16, Matthew 4:4). The Church is, however, not opposed to soliciting the help of qualified medical practitioners.
12. Christian Standards of Living
As believers we are called not just to be hearers but most importantly doers of
the word of God. Sin is sin, light is light, darkness is darkness, flesh is flesh and
spirit is spirit as defined, guided and established by the word of God - Bible. We
are also called to walk by the Holy Spirit and not by the flesh. ( 1 John3:6, James
1:22, Romans 8:5, Galatians 5:16)
