Belief
1. The Holy Scriptures is the
inspired Word of God. It is divinely inbreathed, infallible,
inerrant and authoritative. It is the all sufficient rule of faith
and practice, necessary for our growth and development to full
stature as mature sons of God.
2. We believe in the unity of the one true and living God revealed
in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin. We believe in His
eternal deity, His sinless humanity and perfect life, the eternal
all sufficiency of His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His
ascension to the Father's right hand and in the literal, bodily and
personal return of the lord Jesus Christ to earth in power and
glory.
4. All men are lost apart from the saving Grace of God.
5. Sin is cleansed only through personal repentance and faith in the
precious blood of Jesus Christ.
6. Water Baptism of the believers for the remission of sin after
repentance (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16)
7. All born again believers have a command to be filled with the
Holy Spirit according to the experience of the early church found in
the book of Acts chapters 2, 8, 10,19 etc.
8. The restoration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and five fold
ministries of Ephesians 4:11, in the church today to bring us to
perfection.
9. It is the privilege and the duty of every Christian with a holy
life to be 'occupied' doing His will, as they watch and should
always be ready for the Lord's appearance (I John3:1-3).
10. We believe in the soon and personal return of the Lord Jesus
Christ to this earth and in the resurrection of the saints
