OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

The trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit being co-equal (1 John 5:6-8; Philippians2:6). God the Father is the sender of the word (John 16:28; John 1:14). The son is the word made flesh, the one begotten, and has existed with the father from the beginning (John1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the father and the son and is eternal (John15:26).

THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The divinity of Jesus
We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ the son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the father in Heaven.

The fall of man and man's redemption
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam¡¯s transgressions and fall, sin came into the world. As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one¡±. Jesus Christ, the Son of God was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed his blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Romans 5:14; Romans 3:10,23; 1John3: 8). Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing work acceptable to God (Ephesians 2:8).

SALVATION
(Eternal life and the new birth)
Man¡¯s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow through repentance. The New Birth is necessary for all men; and when experienced produces eternal life because the sinners¡¯ pardoned and accepted as righteous in God¡¯s sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life (Corinthians 7:10; John 5:12; John3: 3-5; Romans 10:9-10).

Hell and eternal retribution
We believe that all mankind are lost in sin and need to turn from it and trust personally in Jesus Christ the Saviour. All need to be born anew by the Holy Spirit¡¯s power into God¡¯s family. (Eph.2: 1-10; Jn.3: 5-7) the one who physically dies in his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of Fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel of repenting. The eternal punishment of the damned in the lake of Fire, carry the same through sand meaning of endless existence in joy and ecstasy of the saints in the presence of God (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:15).

THE ORDINANCE
We believe in the baptism of believers by immersion in water in obedience to the command of Christ. This ordinance is a symbol of the Christian¡¯s identification with Christ, His death, burial and resurrection (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12 ;Acts8:36-39). We also believe in the commemoration of Christ¡¯s death by the observance of the Lord¡¯s Supper until His return.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The infilling of the Holy Spirit is paramount in the life of believers. It was given to provide the believer with power for Christian service and is evidenced by the fruits of the Spirit in one¡¯s life with signs following. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; Acts 1:16; Acts 2:42-43; Matthew 3:11).

Sanctification
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration, and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ¡¯s return (Matthew 12:14; 1Thessalonians5:23; 2Peter 3:16; 2Corinthians3:8; Philippians3:12-14; 1Corinthians1:30).

Divine healing
Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and/ or by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today (Mark 16:18; James 5:14-15; 1Peter 2:25; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:4-5).

THE MINISTRY
We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in his Church namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the NIEW testament.

Resurrection of the just and the return of our Lord
As in the manner of His resurrection, so shall the Lord return. His coming is imminent, when He comes, ¡°¡­the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in th4e clouds, to meet the Lord in the air¡­¡±( Acts 1:11; 1Thessalonians 4:16-17). Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as king of kings, and Lord of Lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years (Revelation 20:6).

Unity of Faith
We believe in unity for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek fellowship together. We want to become more like Him in every way, which is the head of His body, the church. We are called to love Him and one another and are enabled to do this only as His life flows through us. (1Cor.12:12-13; Matt. 22:37-40).

THE COMMISSION
We believe that the gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the gospel to the world and to fulfill a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual, physical and material needs of mankind.
