We
Believe...
|
|
-
that the Bible is the
inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God.
- that there is one
God, Creator of all things, who is eternally existent
in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God, both fully human and divine. We
believe in His incarnation, His virgin birth, His
miracles and His sinless life.
- that because of
God's great love, Jesus Christ died on the cross for
our sins, as our substitute. We believe that Christ
rose from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the
Father and is coming again for His Church.
- that man was created
in the image of God, sinned and incurred physical and
spiritual death. Apart from Christ, man is a sinner,
lost, undone, without hope and without God.
- that salvation is by
grace alone, through faith alone in Christ Jesus.
- that the Holy Spirit
indwells and seals the believer at new birth, and
empowers the believer to do the works of Jesus and to
bear fruit.
- that the Church is
composed of all those, living or dead, who have been
justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- that the great
commission of Christ to "go and make disciples" is
applicable to every sincere follower of Christ.
