What is the Bible?
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12; John 20:31).
Who is God?
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(Matthew 28:19; 3:16,17; Luke 1:35; 1 John 5:7; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
Who is Jesus?
We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1: 1, 2; 10:30; 14:9); in His virgin birth (Matthew1:23); in His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15); in His miracles (John 2:11; Luke 1: 1-4); in His atoning death through His shed blood (Romans 3:23-26; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Colossians 1:14; 1 John 1:7; Hebrews 10); in His bodily resurrection (Matthew 28:6; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:4); in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Luke 24:50, 51; Acts 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 4:14; 8:1); and in His future personal return in power and glory (Acts1:11; Titus 2:13).
What is Salvation?
We believe that through the personal acceptance of Jesus Christ by faith, a person becomes a Christian (John 1:12; Revelation 3:20), and his relationship with God is restored. The acceptance of Christ assures us that:
a) Christ comes into the life (Revelation 3:20)
b) Sins are forgiven (Colossians 1:14)
c) Becomes a child of God (John 1:12)
d) A new life with Christ begins (2 Corinthians 5:17; John 10:10b)
e) Assured of heaven (John 11:25, 26; 17:3)
Who is the Holy Spirit?
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a life pleasing to God (I Corinthians 6:19; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:18.)
What is the Second Coming of Jesus?
We believe in the resurrection of both the Christian and the non-Christian; Christian to everlasting life; the non-Christian to everlasting loss (John 5:24-29; 1 Corinthians 15:20-28; Revelation 20:11-15).
What is the Church?
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4).
