Our Beliefs
THREE
DIMENSIONS OF ONE GOD (1 John 5:7; Matthew 28:19; 1 Tim 3:16)
We believe in one God who is eternal in His existence, Triune in
His manifestation, being Father, Son and Holy Ghost AND that He is Sovereign and
Absolute in His authority.
We believe in the Father who is God Himself, Creator of the
universe. (Gen 1:1; John 1:1)
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God. (Col 2:9)
He suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead for our
total salvation (Luke 3:21-22; Philippians 2:5-11).
We believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one
comes to the Father except through Him (John 3:36; John 3:31-32; John 14:6).
We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God indwelling, empowering
and regenerating the believer. This Holy Spirit is called the Comforter. The
Spirit of Truth (John 14:17, 14:26)
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ atones for our sins and
iniquity. It is through His shed blood that we are saved, healed and set free
from bondage and the forces of darkness (Romans 5:9-11; Ephesians 1:7;
Revelation 12:11).
We believe that every believer must have a personal and intimate
relationship with Jesus Christ, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Each
person has a ministry from God that no one else can fill. We are to instruct,
teach, exhort, and admonish believers in the ways of God (John 15:1-5; Hebrews
13:5-6).
We believe that the Bible is the true infallible Word of God,
which cleanses our souls. It holds the words of eternal life and the keys of the
Kingdom of God. The Bible shows us God's principles and standards for living;
and it is the food that sustains us in all circumstances (John 1:14; 2 Timothy
3: 16-17; 1 John 2:5-6).
We believe that we are to wash and renew our minds daily by the
Word of God.
We must learn His ways and exchange our way of thinking for His.
We are to be conformed to the Kingdom of God by the molding and shaping of His
Hands (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:23-29; Philippians 4:8).
We believe in justification by faith. We believe that salvation
is free and apart from any work of man is a result of the sovereign grace of
God. (Eph 2:8-9, Gal 5:5, Rom 5:1)
We believe in worshipping the Lord in spirit, song, dance and
with the raising of our hands. We believe that we are to praise and worship Him
with our whole being (Psalms 150:1-6; John 4:24).
We believe that in Godly living and the pursuit of a holy life
should be the goal of every believer. (Heb 12:14, Phil 3:14)
We believe that believers should be water baptized by immersion
for the circumcision of our hearts. It is through baptism that we publicly
identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-6;
Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38).
We believe that all Christians need to partake of the communion
elements which represent the Lord Jesus' body and blood. It is by participating
in the Lord's Supper that we proclaim His death until His return (John 6:53-58;
1 Corinthians 11:23-30).
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the sign of
speaking in other tongues. We believe that Christians must be filled daily by
using our prayer language, but the evidence of the Holy Spirit's indwelling
presence is a changed life (Acts 2:4; Ephesians 5:18-21).
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy;
words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of
miracles, and healing (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11).
We believe that it is God's will to heal and deliver His people
today as He did in the days of the first Apostles. It is by the stripes of Jesus
that we are healed, delivered and made whole. We have authority over sickness,
disease, demons, curses, and every circumstance in life (Luke 10:19; 2
Corinthians 10:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24).
"Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature... And these signs
will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will
speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything
deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they
will recover." (Mark 16:15-18)
