Our Beliefs
| We Believe... in the one true and living
God, |
... maker of all creation, the all-knowing,
all-powerful, everywhere-present, eternal
Father; the source of all goodness, truth,
and love; who has manifested himself in His
Son, Jesus Christ, for the purpose of redemption
and as the Holy Ghost for the purpose of intervening
in the lives of people.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Timothy
1:17; 3:16; 6:13-16)
|
|
We Believe... in the
divine inspiration of the Scriptures,
|
... and that the original manuscripts of
the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are
the Word of God given through people,
and that the Scriptures we possess today are
the sufficient rule of faith, and practice
and the final authority for truth and salvation.
(2
Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
|
| We Believe... in the gospel of Jesus
Christ, |
... which declares Him to be the only begotten
Son of God, who was born of a virgin and who
lived to show us the words and works of God.
As the Saviour, He was crucified and
died on the cross in our place to be
the supreme sacrifice for sin. He was
buried in a tomb but rose again the third
day, as the Scriptures foretold, and is now
exalted as King of kings and Lord of
lords. As God manisfested in the flesh,
He is true God and true man; in Him dwells
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
(Acts
10:38-40; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Colossians
2:9)
|
| We Believe... in the
original apostolic plan of salvation, |
... proclaimed on the Day of Pentecost
on the birthday of the New Testament church,
which includes faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour
and Lord, sincere repentance, water baptism
by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ,
and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with
the joyous experience of speaking supernaturally
in other tongues - just as the believer did
in the first century.
(Acts
2:1-39; 10:40-48)
|
| We Believe... in living a life of holiness, |
... both inwardly and outwardly, as a result
of the working of God's grace in us, for the
Word of the Lord declares that all who name
the name of Christ should depart from sin
and separate themselves from the evil practices
of this present age.
(Ephesians 4:21-24;
2 Timothy 2:19; Hebrews 12:14)
|
| We Believe... in practicing genuine Christianity, |
... through love for God and people, prayer,
obedience to the Word of God, heartfelt worship
and expressive praise, sharing our faith,
committment to marriage companions and families,
availability to help one another in time of
need, honesty and diligence in our employment,
honor and respect for our government as it
submits to the divine plan for human society,
and the dedication of our time, talent, and
treasure to advance the kingdom of God on
earth.
(Romans
12-12; Colossians 3-4)
|
| We Believe... in the local and universal
church, |
... established by our Lord as a unique
and special fellowship for all who believe.
It is the spiritual community ordained for
worship, stewardship, and service to God and
people, of which every believer must become
a part, for it is the body of Christ
in the world today, displaying the same miraculous
power and spiritual gifts experienced by the
early church.
(1 Corinthians 12;
Ephesians 4:4-16)
|
| We Believe... in the
return of Jesus Christ, |
... that glorious appearing when our Lord
shall come with the sound of a trumpet, when
both those who have died in Christ and those
who now live in Christ will rise to meet Him
in th air to be with Him forever.
(1
Corinthians 15:51-55; 1 Thessalonians
4:13-18)
|
| We Believe... in the judgment of all
people, |
... when the wicked shall receive their
punishment and the righteous shall receive
their reward. We believe in the ultimate
triumph of righteousness and in the life everlasting.
(Romans 14:10-12; 2
Thessalonians 1:6-10; Revelation 20:12-21:8) |
