STATEMENT OF FAITH 1. We believe in the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative word of God. It is the only rule of faith and practice II Pet. 1:21; II Tim. 3:15-19; I Thess. 2:13. 2. We believe that there is one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Matt.28: 19, Luke 3:22, 1 John 5:7 3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. His virgin birth, sinless life, and sacrificial death, the miracles He performed during His ministry on earth, We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His imminent return, II Cor. 5:21, John 1:1-10; Matt. 1:23; Heb. 7: 26; Matt. 28:6; 1 Cor. 15:4; Phil. 2:9-11 4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and voluntarily fell, that the Bible clearly teaches that all have sinned and thus have become sinful; that repentance toward God, faith in Jesus Christ, and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit are absolutely necessary for salvation. Gen. 1: 26; Rom. 3:23; Matt. 3:2; Heb. 12:2 5. We believe in the act of separation from that which defiled the flesh and spirit and complete dedication to God and His will. This represents the normal life of a Christian. All believers are required to sanctify themselves, this being made possible through the word of God, the fellowship of the saints and the blessed Holy Spirit, Heb.12:4; Rom. 12:12; 1 Thess. 5:23; Rom. 6:1-11 6. We believe that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still available for the edification of God's people and for the purpose of making them effective witnesses in today's world (Acts 1:8; Rom. 1:11) 7. We believe that physical healing was provided for in the atonement of Christ and divine healing is available through the prayer of faith for all. Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5; James 5:14-15 8. We believe in that "blessed hope," the personal pre-millennial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, each in His order, the saints unto the resurrection of life; the last unto resurrection of damnation. We also believe in the new heaven and the new earth (I Thess. 4:16; 1Cor. 15:51; Zech. 14:5; Matt. 24:27,30; Rev. 1:7; 19:11-14; Matt. 25:46; Rev. 21:22 9. We believe that all believers should live lives of faith and wholehearted consecration to Christ and His Gospel give themselves continually to prayer and intercession and fulfill the great commission to go into all the world to make disciples of all nations. 10. We believe that the power of God is sufficient to meet every need. Rom. 1:17; Heb. 11:6; Rom. 3:22; 12:12; 1 Thess. 5:17, Acts 6:4; 4:31; Mark 10:15; 2 Cor. 12:9. 11. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers who are labouring for our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:1-5, 13; Col. 2:2; Phil. 2:1; John 17:23; Psalm 133:1; Col. 3:14 |
