What We Believe
-
The Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God.
-
The existence of one single and true God, who is eternal and manifested in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
-
The divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His birth by a virgin, in His life without sin, in His miracles, in His death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right of the Father, in His future return in glory and power to rule.
-
In the blessed hope of the Church’s rapture at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
In the fall and sinfulness of man. The single means to be cleansed of sin is through repentance and by faith in the precious blood of Christ.
-
Being born again, as being absolutely necessary for personal salvation. This is the internal working of the Holy Spirit, expressed through repentance and faith, followed by a life of holiness.
-
Divine healing, as being available through the redeeming work of Christ on the cross.
-
The baptism with the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, as being given to believers, with the scope of empowerment for the ministry, and the accordance of spiritual gifts. The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a distinctive experience, such that it is separate from being born again.
-
The church as being the Body of Jesus Christ, and formed by all born again believers.
-
The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, through whom the Christian has the possibility to live a holy life.
-
The resurrection and final judgment of the saved for eternal life, and eternal punishment for the fallen.
-
A new heavens and new earth, as the reward for the redeemed.
-
The great commission as the responsibility of every believer who is a part of the Body of Christ.
