1.
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as
verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are
the Word of God and the final authority in faith and conduct.
2.
We believe in the existence of only one true and living God, and
that in the Godhead there are three Persons, these
being one and equal in attributes.
o God the
Father,
o God the
Son,
o and God
the Holy Spirit;
3.
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true Man. He
was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary. He died upon
the cross, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all
who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. He
arose from the dead according to the scriptures. He is now at the right
hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest and He will return again
to establish His kingdom of righteousness and justice.
1.
We believe that man was originally created in the likeness and
image of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and
spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, and are separated
from God and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus
Christ. The reward of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever
in conscience torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.
2.
We believe that salvation has, by the love and grace of God,
been provided through Jesus Christ for all mankind; and those who receive Him
as their personal Saviour, by an act of simple faith, apart from works of any
kind, are born again of the Holy Spirit; they receive the Divine forgiveness of
sins, obtain the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.
3.
We believe in the complete forgiveness of all sins of all who
receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour.
4.
We believe the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, the Comforter,
sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to indwell, to guide and to teach the believer,
and to convince the world of sin.
5.
We believe that Satan is a personal and real being, the
adversary to the holy will of God and the salvation of mankind.
6.
We believe there will be a bodily resurrection of the just and
the unjust; the former unto life; the latter, a resurrection into judgment.
7.
We believe the Church consists of all those who have believed on
the Lord Jesus Christ, are purged from their sins by His blood, and who have
been born again of the Holy Spirit.
