The Nature of God
There is one God, eternally coexistent in three persons: The Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. The Father sent His only Son to become the redemption
for lost mankind. The Holy Spirit was sent to complete the mission of Christ
through His Body, the Church.
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is “profitable for teaching,
reproof, correction and training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16). It
is timeless and relevant for all circumstances and is the fullness of God’s
divine inspired revelation to man, without error in its original form.
Jesus the Christ
Jesus Christ came in the flesh fully God and fully man, yet without sin. As
God the Son, He came to Earth as a man, born of a virgin, fulfilled all He
was sent to accomplish, died on the cross for the sins of the world, after
three days rose from the dead and rules today at the right hand of God the
Father. He will return in the clouds on the day appointed by the Father to
call up all those who belong to Him. Jesus Christ is central to all true healing
and freedom. Apart from Him we can do nothing. (see John 15:5 NAS)
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He lives within the heart
of the true Christian, providing the power to obey God’s Word, convicting
of sin, teaching and leading into all truth, providing comfort in time of
distress and unifying all true believers in a bond of love. The Holy Spirit
is the way that God communicates with His people through opening up the written
Word and through inner communication of the heart.
Living the Spirit Filled Life
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, meaning that the Holy Spirit
dwells within us and empowers us to fully follow and imitate Christ. The Holy
Spirit equips us with gifts that empower the unique calling God has for each
of us, including the message of wisdom, the message of knowledge, faith, gifts
of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking
in different kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues (Acts 2:4,
Acts 10:44-46, Acts 19:6, 1 Cor 12:7-11).
Water Baptism
We believe in water Baptism by immersion in water in the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost as an at of obedience to God and as an outward
sign of being made as dead to sin and alive in Christ Jesus. (Matthew 3:11;
Matthew 28:18-19; John 14:6).
All Need Forgiveness
All people sin and are in need of God’s continual grace and forgiveness.
Sin must be dealt with in the life of the believer through the cross of Christ.
Jesus took on our sin that we might become His righteousness. (Eph. 4:13,
NKJV)
Faith in Christ
The indwelling of the spirit of Christ is the determining factor of one’s
authentic faith relationship with God, not one’s denomination, religious
practice or performance in Christian disciplines. For “if anyone does
not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” (Rom. 8:9
NAS)
The Great Commission
A primary mission of the Church is to go forth and proclaim the good news
of freedom in Christ to all the world, (see Matt. 29:19-20 NAS), to bring
truth to those held captive by the grip of the kingdom of darkness, and to
prepare the way for His second coming by making ready His bride. (see Luke
4:18 NAS).
