STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. We believe: that there is only One True Holy God
who is eternal, all-wise, all-powerful,
everywhere present, unchanging,
existing as Father, Son, and Spirit.
2. We believe: that the Bible is the Self-revelation of God to
mankind for this age;
that it is fully inspired by the Holy Spirit;
that it is inerrant in its original writings, authentic in its
records,
authoritative in its decrees,
universal, timeless in its message,
the standard by which all shall be judged.
3. We believe: that the Triune God is the Creator of all things,
visible and invisible;
that the Genesis account of creation is true;
that man through disobedience fell from his position of
innocence;
that all people need the mercy of God, offered in Jesus Christ, the Son of
God.
4. We believe: that Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
by a
miracle was born of
the Virgin Mary as her firstborn;
that by this He is fully God and fully man;
that He will perfect the complete reconciliation of all
believers;
effect the universal restoration of all things
by His sinless earthly life,
His atoning death on the cross by the shedding of His blood,
His literal bodily resurrection from the dead,
His confirming ascension to the right hand of God
His present-day ministry of intercession for believers, His personal
return to earth.
5. We believe: that the Holy Spirit was sent and came upon the
disciples at Pentecost;
that all who repent of their sin through faith in Jesus Christ receive the
Holy Spirit;
that He indwells, cleanses, leads,
and enables believers to live and witness to the glory of God.
6. We believe: that the church is composed of all and only those
who truly repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and
Lord;
that by the Holy Spirit, in harmony with the Holy Scriptures, true
believers live a holy life; that all such make up the body and bride
of Christ.
7. We believe: that the Christian Life is total commitment to
the Lordship of Christ;
that every Christian is entrusted by the Lord with the stewardship of the
Gospel;
that Christians will conduct their affairs consistent with this commitment
and entrustment so that all they are and have contributes to the spread of
the Gospel.
8. We believe: that there is a personal Devil who is the
arch-enemy of God, and all good;
that he is seeking to deceive all people and take them to eternal
ruin;
that during the time immediately before the rapture of the true
church
he will lead many into apostasy and unbelief;
that conditions in the church and in the world indicate that we now live
in such times;
that during the great tribulation he will raise up the
Antichrist
through whom he will effect a world-wide rebellion against God
which will be put down by the personal, bodily return of Christ.
9. We believe: that there will be a bodily return of Jesus
Christ for His bride, the Church, at which time all believers who have
died will be resurrected and all living believers will be
changed;
that after the destruction of the apostate church and the world-wide
rebellion
led by the Antichrist,
and the binding of Satan,
Jesus Christ will reign
as King of kings and Lord of lords until He has put down all
authority;
that at the end of His reign He will deliver the kingdom over to God the
Father.
10. We believe: that there will be the Final Judgment in which
God will condemn the devil to the lake of fire along with all who have not
believed in Jesus Christ, where they will suffer eternal
punishment;
that all believers, by the grace of God will enjoy forever the presence of
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with all the angels in the new
heaven and the new earth wherein dwells righteousness. |
