Statement of Faith
1. We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and infallible, authoritative Word of God as written by the inspiration of Holy Men of God. The Bible is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness that the Men of God may be thoroughly equipped for every
good work, through the only word of God that saves us eternally.
2 Timothy 3:16,7, James 1:21, 1 Peter 1:23-25, Hebrews 4:12, Matthew 24:35
2. We believe that there is only ONE God who reveals Himself in three distinct persons, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit who are one in attributes and essence but distinct in role and manifestations before Man.
Genesis 1:1, John 14:26, Matthew 28:19
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
Matthew 1:20, 1 Peter 2:22-24, Isaiah 53, Luke 4:18, Hebrews 9:22, Hebrews 9:14, Acts 1:11
4. Man is created being made in the image of God but through Adam and Eve’s transgressions and fall, sin has entered into the world, for all who have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. As it is written, there is none righteous, not one. Jesus Christ our Lord, the Son of God was manifested to undo the works of the Devil, and salvation is obtained through the shed blood of Christ Jesus who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself, without spot to God. You must believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in His resurrection and thou shall be saved.
Genesis 1:26-27, Romans 5:12, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10, Hebrews 9:14, Romans 10:9-10
5. We believe in Water Baptism by immersion and that baptism is a direct commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism is a direct commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism is a symbol of Christian identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. The only water baptism we believe is in the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. We also believe in a total submersion of the Spirit, taking on the characteristics of the Spirit after receiving the Baptism
(Greek – ‘Baptos’) of the spirit.
Acts 2:41; 8:37, I Peter 3:21, Romans 6:45, Matthew 28:19-20
6. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit which is the infilling and subsequent empowering of the Holy Spirit upon believers in Christ to go out into the world to be a witness unto Christ with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as in the book of Acts with signs, wonders and gifts following the sharing and preaching of God’s word – the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ unto the uttermost parts of the earth till Christ comes as the Father has promised..
Acts 1:8, Mark 16:15-18, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Acts 2:4; 10:46, Luke 24:49, Matthew 3:11, 12
7. We believe in the five-fold ministry that when Christ was exalted, He gave gifts to men.. He gave some to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers – to prepare God’s people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Eph 4:7-13, Titus 1:1-3, Luke 11:49, Luke 6:12-13, Acts 6:2,3..
8. We believe in the partaking of the Lord’s Supper/Holy Communion by believers in Christ, served and ministered at the Lord’s table and presence ,where the bread served symbolizes the body crucified on the Cross of Christ for our sins and the wine, the blood shed on the cross to wash away our sins.. When we eat the bread and drink the wine, we symbolically feed on Christ and fill our lives with Him regularly reminding ourselves that we are being filled with eternal life in Christ to His fullness.
John 6:53-59, 1 Cor 11:24-26, Luke 22:15-22.
9 We believe in Christ being formed in every believer from spiritual birth ( born-again experience) who grows to fill the believer to the extent of personal consecration and obedience to His commandments, till the believer desirably becomes the eternal dwelling of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit which is the plan of God from the beginning as reflected in the celebration of the seven feast of the Lord that culminates in Godhead dwelling among men. Each feast signifies feasting on Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit, who counsels and leads us to be filled with Christ to the Father’s pleasure. Christ is the Father’s pleasure; we become His pleasure when we are filled with Christ.
Gal 4: 19, John 14:23 , Eph 4:13 , Heb 5: 13, 14 Titus2 :11-15 , Eph 4:20-24 ,Gal 2;20 ,Lev. 23,
Eph 3:16-19, Gal 5:22-26, Heb 4:9-11,1 Cor 6:16-18,1 Cor 15:50-57 ,1 Cor 15:48-49,Rom 8:13-16.
10. We believe that tithes, offerings and givings collected from God’s people are His way of providing for the ministry, to sustain ,grow it and help the needy with our cheerful and(not grudging )giving to the Lord.. Generous giving with a merciful heart is a special gift on some by Christ to forward his church and its ever expanding works. We cannot out-give God no matter how wealthy we become.
2 Cor 9: 6-9, Luke 6:38, Matt 6:3,4 ,Luke 21:4, 2 Cor 8:2-9 ,1 Tim 6:17-19 ,1 Tim 5:18,Phil 4:19
11. We believe in the glorious second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the last trumpet sound, the first resurrection of the dead saints ,catching away of the living saints(rapture) in the air, with host of God’s army return to earth to overthrow the Antichrist, the False prophet and the Dragon ,(Satan) with executing eternal punishment on the first former two and bind Satan for a thousand years during His millennium rule on earth.After the 1000 years rule satan to be released and later eternally thrown into the lake of fire after defeated by Christ.
1 Cor 15:50-52, 1 Thess 4:14-17, 2 Thess 2:1, Rev 20: 4-6, Rev 19: 11-21 ,Matt 24:13, Matt 14:27-35, Matt 24:50
12. We believe in the great White Throne Judgment, where the second resurrection of the remaining saints and the sinners will take place for the judgment of sinners into eternal punishment and eternal life for the saints.
Rev. 20:10-15, Rev. 21:8, Romans 9:22, Matt 25; 46, Matt 23:15, Eph 5:5
13. We believe in the new heaven and new earth that will appear after the old has passed away.
Out of the new heaven will come out the New Jerusalem prepared as a bride beautifully dressed
for her husband .The dwelling of God will be with men from then on .
Rev 21:1-27
