Doctrines of our faith
We believe…
- that the Bible is the inspired, unadulterated word of God.
- in one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, died on the cross and shed His blood as a sacrifice for sin and He rose bodily from the dead, ascended unto heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
- that Jesus Christ has established His kingdom on earth and has made His Church Ambassadors (sons) to execute His sovereign rule and reign in the earth.
- that man having been created in the image and likeness of God fell into sin and only through the justification by grace and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ could he be restored.
- in baptism by immersion as a symbol of salvation expressing the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and in the gifts, fruit and anointed ministries of the Holy Spirit.
- in the full function of the five fold- ministry gifts; apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers as governmental offices working together for the equipping, edifying and perfecting of the saints.
- in the present day restoration of the foundational ministries of the Apostles and Prophets set by Jesus Christ in the church as custodians of initial revelation.
- that the kingdom of God is not only about heaven but also about bringing what is established in heaven to earth, and the church through the Holy Spirit is God’s agency in progressively bringing this reality to pass.
