TRANSFORMING LIVES.
Statement of Faith
Statement of Faith
We Believe:
There is but one living and true God, maker of heaven and earth, and all things visible; (John 1:3) One Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God. Pre-existent with the Father before all worlds; begotten, not made; Himself being the fullness of the Godhead, being of substance with the Father, and by whom all things were made; and by whom all things consist. (John1:3); (Colossians 1:17).
That Jesus Christ was manifest for our salvation, and that He came down from Heaven as the Logos (Living Word), and was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin: Mary, and was made man. He was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. (1John 3:5-10; John 1:1;14; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; 1 Timothy 6: 13-15).
That Jesus suffered, died, and was buried, and on the third day He rose according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven; and that He sitteth on the right hand of the Father. He shall come again in great glory to judge the quick and the dead- Whose Kingdom shall have no end. (Luke 24:51-53; Acts 1:1-12; 2 Thess. 1: 7-9; 2 Timothy 4:1).
That the Holy Ghost, the giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; whom together is worshipped, and that by whom Christ is glorified: spoke by the prophets, and in the house of God which is the Church of the Living God; the pillar and the ground of truth. (John 16:13-14; 17:5; 1Timothy 3:15).
And acknowledge one Lord, one faith, on baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all; (believers) (Ephesians 4:3-8).
The bible to be the inspired, inerrant, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Containing also the words of man, angels and the devil.
In the Triune Godhead as eternally existent in the person: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
In the Deity of Jesus Chris; in His Virgin birth; His sinlessness; His miracles; and His absolute purity. In His vicarious and atoning death, and in the power of His shed blood. In His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.
In Evangelical and missionary fervour and endeavours, such as: street meetings and public declaration of the faith.
In the Full- Gospel, and ministry of the fivefold ministry gifts; also that which includes faith and deliverance.
That for the salvation of lost and sinful man; repentance and regeneration by the holy Spirit, is absolutely essential for eternal life. We further believe in justification and sanctification as a work of grace, in the believer’s life, through the power of God.
In sanctification and personal holiness of heart, also in the outcoming life as God’s design for the church, which is the body of Christ.
In water baptism by immersion. We also believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost; and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries; and in His fruit produced in the life of the believer.
That divine healing and deliverance are obtained on the basis of the atonement and “work of the cross”.
In Christ’s eminent personal return in power and great glory; and in His present and everlasting dominion.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment.
In Christ’s second coming and the rapture of the Saints; in which the dead in Christ shall rise first, and they which are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet Him in the air.
We believe in dispensational theology, and that we are in dispensation of grace (the Church age) and which there is a dispensation of tribulation to come and a millennial Kingdom dispensation to follow.
In the literal millennium reign of the Kingdom of Christ and His redeemed church upon the earth.
In the existence of angels, demons, and the existence of a literal devil; in a literal hell, and a literal heaven. We also believe in a literal throne of God.
