The Bible

We believe that the entire Bible, the Old and New Testament (excluding the Apocrypha) is the inspired Word of God and that men of God ‘were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the Holy Scriptures. ‘The Bible is therefore authoritative and infallible word of God and in errant’.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 and 2 Peter 1:20-21.

God

We believe in one God who eternally manifests himself as God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19 and Mark 12:29.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule over nations. Christ crucifixion is the heart of the gospel, his resurrection is the power of the gospel, and his ascension is the glory of the gospel.

Luke 1:26-35; John 1:14-18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25; Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Romans 1:16.

Resurrection

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that he ascended into heaven where He is now seated at the right hand of God, the position of power and authority. We believe in bodily resurrection of all the dead.

Daniel 12:2; Mark 12:36; 14:62; Luke 22:69; Acts 2:33; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Philippians 2:8-11; Hebrews 8:1 and Revelation 20:11-15.

Lordship

We confess to the Lord Jesus Christ and no other, as Head of the Church, and as our Lord.

Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:15-16 and Colossians 1:18-24.

The Church

That Jesus is building his church and that He is the Chief Cornerstone, and that His Church is being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets.

Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 2:20; 4:11-13; 1 Corinthians 12:28 and Romans 12:8.

Redemption

The Lord Jesus Christ by life, resurrection and ascension has availed to all mankind the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. These blessings are made personally real to the individual, not by works or personal merits in themselves, but by faith alone which is accomplished by repentance.

John 1:16; Titus 2:11; Romans 8:8-13 and 2 Timothy 1:9.

The New Birth

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Birth, which makes a sinner a child of God.

John 1:11-13; 3:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17 and 1 Peter 1:22-25.

The Church Membership

We believe that the Church consists of the community of true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, who by faith have had their sins forgiven and been re-generated by the Holy Spirit. We believe in the fellowship of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, recognizing that the true Church is not confined to any one denomination.

Hebrew 12:23-24; Ephesians 3:3-10; 4:3-6, 13; 1 John 1:7 and 1 Corinthians 1:9, 10:32.

Baptism in Water

We believe by total immersion, of believers only. Immersion in water is done once representing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This represents death and resurrection with Christ.

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38-41; 8:36-39; 10:47; Matthew 3:13-17; Hebrews 10:23, 1 Peter 3:21 and Romans 6:3-5.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit and that this baptism, is separate experience from the New Birth, and is promised to every believer. It is attested to by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues but different in purpose and use.

Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:4-8; 2:32-33; 8:14-17; 11:14-16 15:7-9; 10:4-46; 19:2-6 and 1 Corinthians 12:10,28.

Sanctification

The Scripture teach a life of holiness, and we are to obey the command ‘be ye Holy for I am Holy’ – Believers are sanctified (i.e. set apart) for God’s purpose at conversion. Continuation in sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word.

Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; Matthew 5:48; Hebrews 6:1 and Philippians 3:11-14.

Spiritual Gifts

We believe that God has never removed the gifts referred to in 1 Corinthians 12:13-14; and that whenever the Holy Spirit moves upon the Church in power, these gifts are manifested. We believe it is contrary to the apostolic command for anyone to ‘forbid speaking in tongues’.

1 Corinthians 12:13-14

Divine Healing

We believe in divine healing that God is still healing the sick.

Mark 16:16-18; 1 Corinthians 12:9; Matthew 8:16-17 and James 5:14-15.

Priesthood of believers

Each individual believer has full and equal access to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, as a believer priest.

1 Peter 2:1-9 and Revelations 1:6; 5:9-10.

The Ministry

We believe in the five-fold ministries and gifts of the Holy Spirit being Spiritual administration, and operation of the Church today.

Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:28.

The Judgment

We believe that both the living and the dead shall be judged. We understand that the believer’s redemption was brought by our Lord Jesus Christ in His redemptive work on the cross.

John 5:24, 28-29 and Revelations 20:11-15

Tithing

We believe that the basis of finance in the ministry shall be Scriptural method whereby each believer shall pay his/her tithes and offerings systematically into the Church.

Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:8-10 and 2 Corinthians 9:7.
