Statement of Faith
Before God, we confess the faith of the apostles (Acts 2:42), as we are taught in The Holy Scriptures.
-
We believe in one God, the Creator of the heavens and earth. He is spirit, unique, existing as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is eternal, unchangeable, all knowing, almighty, omnipresent, of endless love, truth and faithfulness, perfect in wisdom, justice and holiness. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 3:21-22, John 10:30)
-
We believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord, the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, true God and true man. We believe that He was crucified and died to redeem us to God, that He was bodily raised from the dead and ascended to heaven, now sitting at the right hand of God the Father. We believe that He will return in glory to be united with His church, to establish His reign of peace and to judge those who reject Jesus as their saviour, at the final judgement. (John 1:14, Hebrews 2:14, Matthew 24:36-51)
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who gives life through His work of rebirth and holiness. Every believer is incorporated into the body of Christ, His church by the Holy Spirit. He wants to baptise, anoint and fill every believer, lead them in truth, give them strength and enable them to bear fruit for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38-39)
-
We believe that the whole Bible (the 66 books of the Old and the New Testament) is the complete word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and therefore without error and the only infallible rule for faith and life. (John 10:35, 2 Timothy 3:16)
-
We believe that man, created in the image of God, fell out of his sinless state through his own fault; therefore all have sinned and are lost and unable to save themselves. We believe that those who do not trust in the Lord Jesus for their personal salvation, will be destined to eternal punishment in hell. (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12)
-
We believe that man is saved by God's grace alone, not by anything in man, or done by man. It is God who calls man to repentance and gives him faith to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. All who call upon God shall be saved. (Ephesians 2:8, 1 Thessalonians 2:12, Romans 10:13)
-
We believe that Satan, a fallen angel and adversary of God, is the instigator of the fall and is still trying to ruin (corrupt) man by leading him to sin through his lies. His destination is the final judgement and eternal punishment. (Job 1:6-7, 1 Peter 5:8)
-
We believe that all the dead are going to be resurrected bodily, the believers to enter eternal glory, the unbelievers to eternal punishment. (Acts 24:15, 2 Timothy 4:1)
-
We believe that Jesus Christ has established the symbols of baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism as a testimony of the union of the believer with Christ in His death and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper (taking of the bread and drinking of the cup) as a testimony of the union of the believer with Christ, is performed as an act of remembrance and proclamation of Jesus death on a cross and is a symbol of the new covenant, in anticipation of His return. (Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 11:26)
-
We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is made up of those whom He has called out of the kingdom of darkness, who proclaim His name in faith, who are purified by His blood and born again by His Spirit. All those who belong to His church are called to lead a holy life, to love one another, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to abstain from everything that dishonours God and to consecrate themselves to everything that brings glory to God through obedience to His Word. The church has been called to preach the Gospel and make disciples world-wide. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 2:20)
