We Believe The Scriptures are Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God, and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct
(2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)

We Believe in The One True God
The one true God who has revealed Himself in the Three Persons of God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We Believe in God the Father
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternal self-existent “I AM”, the Creator of Heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).

We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:

  1. His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31, 35).
  2. His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22).
  3. His miracles (Acts 2:22; 10:38).
  4. His substitutionary work of the Cross (1 Corinthians 5:21).
  5. His bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1Corinthians 15:4).
  6. His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9, 11; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1-3)

We Believe in the Deity of the Holy Spirit
The Scriptures declare the Divinity of the Holy Spirit.

  1. Co-Creator with the Father and the Son (Genesis 1:26; John1:1; Psalms33:6)
  2. His role in the birth of Jesus (Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:35).
  3. He gives life to the believers (2 Corinthians 3:7).
  4. He writes God’s Law in the believers’ hearts (2 Corinthians 3:3).
  5. He is called to continue the work of Jesus Christ (John 14:15)
  6. He is the Church’s Comforter and Teacher (John 14:15-17; 24-26; 15:20-27; Ephesians 4:30).

We Believe in the Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. “However, man, by voluntary transgression, fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 3:8; 23-24; Romans 5:12-19).

We Believe in the Salvation of Man
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

  1. Conditions to Salvation
    Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the Hope of Eternal Life (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7).
  2. The Evidence of Salvation
    The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12).

We Believe in the Sacraments of the Church

  1. Baptism in Water
    The ordinance of Baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe in Christ, as Saviour and Lord, are to be baptized. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47; Romans 6:4).
  2. Holy Communion
    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 (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial of His
    suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26); and is enjoined on all believers “till He comes!”

We Believe in Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the Gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth (Acts 8:12-17; Acts 10:44; Acts 10:46; Acts 11:14-15; 15:7-9). With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John 7:37-39; Acts 4:8), a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Hebrews 12:28), an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work (Acts 2:42), and a more active love for Christ, for His word and for the Lost (Mark 16:20).

We Believe in the Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 28), but different in purpose and use.

We Believe in The Church
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfilment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in Heaven (Ephesians 1:22, 23; 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).

We Believe in Sanctification

  1. Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God (Romans 12:1;1Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12). The Scriptures teach a life of “Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord,” (Hebrews 12:14). By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command: “Be ye holy, for I am Holy” (1 Peter 1:15, 16).
  2. Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith, reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:1-11, 8:1, 2, 13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12, 13; 1 Peter 1:5).

We Believe in the Ministry
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose:(1) The evangelization of the World, and (2) The edifying of the Body of Christ (Mark 16:15-20; Ephesians 4:11-13).

We Believe in Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5:14-16).

We Believe in the Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, is the imminent and Blessed Hope of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52).

We Believe in the Millennial Reign of Christ
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our Blessed Hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years
(Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:27, 30; Revelation 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6). This millennial reign will bring the salvation of general Israel (Ezekiel 37:21, 22; Zephaniah 3:19, 20; Romans 11:26, 27) and the establishment of universal peace (Isaiah 11:6-9; Psalm 72:3-8; Micah 4:3, 4).

We Believe in the Final Judgement
There will be a final judgement in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. “Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life,” together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8).

We Believe in the New Heavens and the New Earth
“We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelled righteousness.” (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:22).
