Statement Of Faith

Scripture
Believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the word of God. It is infallible and inerrant and God has revealed His whole mind to us only through the 66 cannonised books of the Bible. It is sufficient for all matters pertaining to life and godliness.

God
Believe in the doctrine of trinity. God is one in essence but three in respect to person. In other words in the one being of God there are three persons of one substance, power, and eternity - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God truly became Man being conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He is impeccable. He has accomplished our redemption through the shedding of his blood and sacrificial death on the cross. His death was voluntary, vicarious, substitutionary, propitiatory and redemptive. He rose again on the third day and now mediates as our advocate and High priest. Holy Spirit Holy Spirit indwells permanently in all believers. Baptism of the Holy Spirit brings believers into union with other believers in the body of Christ. Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs simultaneously to salvation and is not experiential. It is historical. Filling of the Holy Spirit is different from the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is a commandment: "Be continually being filled with the Spirit". Being filled with Spirit means a believer is under complete control of the Spirit. It is not a one time experience but rather repeated experience, which is essential for spiritual maturity and service.

Salvation
Man is a sinner, Jesus Christ is the only Saviour. Salvation is obtained by grace as a free gift from God through the precious blood of his son Jesus Christ. And believe in the eternal security of salvation of every believer. There is a distinction between the saved and Apostate. E.g.: Judas Iscariot was not saved, he was an apostate.

Church
Each local church is an autonomous body independent and directly responsible to the Lord and not accountable to any external human authority. It is solely governed by elders and deacons under the guidance and control of Holy Spirit. Recognises the priesthood of all the believers. Women are not allowed to teach, lead or pray where brothers are present. Fellowship is emphasized and not the membership.

Prophecy
Believe in the pre tribulation rapture of all the New Testament believers and the Millennial reign of Christ on earth.
