We Believe in:
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the authoritative, infallible, immutable, Holy-Spirit-inspired word of God, that it is the final authority in the affairs of man and that, form Genesis to Revelation all that its 66 books teach are the implicit mind of God for mankind. true“God’s Word”.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Psalm 12:6, Matthew 24:35, Psalm 119:160
Jesus Christ
Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God. It is through Him that all shall come to the knowledge of God and to salvation and that this is the purpose of His Divine birth. As one of the persons of the Holy Trinity, He has existed throughout eternity, one of the persons of the Holy Trinity. He was born by Virgin Mary, conceived of the Holy Spirit, without sin. He lived a perfect life, preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, performed miracles, healed the sick and raised the dead. He voluntarily surrendered his life to his enemies to be crucified. He then resurrected, and ascended to heaven to become our High Priest. Jesus Christ will return to establish the kingdom of God on earth, and rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with His saints forever.
Matthew 17:15-17, John 1:1-14, Acts 2:32-33, Hebrews 4:14-15, Revelation 1:13:16
Fall of Man
Man (Adam) was created in the image of God before whom he walked in innocence, holiness, and purity, but by wilful disobedience and transgression, he fell into sins and lost the glory of God. In his fallen state man is incapable of pleasing God or having any relationship with Him. Every man is totally inclined to evil, guilt and without excuse, deserving the condemnation and judgment of a just and Holy God.
Genesis 1:26-31, Genesis 2:7, Psalm 139:14, Col. 1:16, Psalm 51:5, Mark 1:15
Salvation
Sin is an inward spiritual attitude of rebellion towards God, which is expressed in outward acts of disobedience. Man in his fallen state cannot approach God or save himself and therefore needs a saviour. Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins. Salvation is available to all who will receive the risen Christ as their personal Saviour and confess Him as their Lord… John 3:16; Hebrews 9:29; Romans 3:10, 23; Acts 3:19
Water Baptism
Believing in Christ produces an inward change in our heart; baptism in water is an outward act of obedience, by which we testify of the change that has taken place in our hearts. By this act, we make ourselves one with Christ in His burial and in His resurrection and thus making a public declaration of the new life which we have in Him… Mark 16:16, Matt 28:19-20, Acts 2:38-41, Acts 8:37-39
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The baptism in the Holy Ghost is a supernatural endowment with power from heaven to equip the Christian for effective witness and service.
The initial evidence of Holy Spirit Baptism is speaking in unknown tongue as the spirit give utterance. The unknown tongue is a prayer language given to the believer, understood by God but unknown to man.
Joel 2:28, Luke 3:16, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 19:2, Mark 16:17
Sanctification
Sanctification means being: (1) apart from sin (2) consecrated unto God. It means being conformed to His holiness, purity, and perfection of character. The scripture teaches that to be “sanctified” as a believer is not a process, but a state, which the believer has already entered into once and for all. (Acts 20:32; Romans 15:16; Hebrews 10:10-14; Ephesians 5:25-26; Acts 26:18). Perfection is a spiritual growth for those who have been sanctified and consecrated. Therefore, it is the total yielding of one’s life to the Holy Spirit, living the crucified life; and being conformed to the image of Christ Himself. Perfection and true holiness are impossible without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. All attempts at achieving perfection without the Holy Spirit generally results in frustration and failure for “flesh” cannot crucify flesh.
1 Peter 2:21-22, 1 Peter 1:15, John 3:8-9, Corinthians 10:13, Matthew 5:48
The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements – bread and the fruit of the vine – is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a memorial of His suffering, death and a prophecy of His second coming. Jesus Christ commanded the church to do it in His remembrance. Luke 22: 14-19, Acts 2: 42, 46, 2 Peter 1:4, 1 Corinthians 11:26
Divine Healing
Sickness is a direct consequence of the fall of man and his continuance in sin. Redemption not only dealt with sin but also its consequences, which includes sickness and diseases. Christ died on the cross; bore not only our sins, but also our sicknesses. Healing for our bodies from God comes to us through appropriation of the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary by faith in the word of God and manifestation of the gift of healing. Not only believers receive healing for our bodies, but also we may minister healing and deliverance to others in the name of Jesus. This can be accomplished by laying on of hands, praying for others in absentia and by getting bible believing church elders to anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.
Luke 13:11,16, 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, 1 John 3:8, Mark 16:17-18
The Rapture of the Church
The rapture describes an event in the future when Jesus Christ will, in the twinkling of an eye, change all believers (living and dead) to immortality, giving them a resurrected body, and catching them up to meet the Lord in the air. The word rapture simply means sudden snatching out of this world of the believers. The actual word used in the bible is “caught up”. This event marks the beginning of the seven years reign of Antichrist.
