 |
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their
original writing as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final
authority for faith and life. |
 |
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons - Father
Son and Holy Spirit. |
 |
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived
by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true man. |
 |
We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned
and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death, physical and spiritual; that
all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach
moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt. |
 |
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins a substitutionary
sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified
on the grounds of His shed blood. |
 |
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus. His ascension
into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and advocate. |
 |
We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. |
 |
We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus
Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. |
 |
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit empowering and equipping
believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in
fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of
Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. |
 |
We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal
blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected
the offer of salvation. |
 |
We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been
redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local church
on earth should take its character from this conception of the Church spiritual
and therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials
of Church membership. |
 |
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances, Baptism in Water
and the Lord's Supper - to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual
witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith; that Baptism is the immersion
of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and
resurrection and that the Lord's Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of
the Saviour's broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, till He comes. |
 |
We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament and is an
integral part of the Gospel. |
 |
We believe 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 the new birth and continuing until the consummation
of salvation. |
 |
The fellowship is open to any further truth which the Holy Spirit may illuminate
from the Scriptures. |
