OUR BELIEFS

THE BIBLE, THE LIVING WORD

The Bible is word-for-word the complete divine revelation inspired by God, through the Holy Spirit. No one can add, nor take away from, its eternal inspiration and accuracy. The Scriptures cannot be broken. 2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16; Ecclesiastes 3:14; John 10:35

THE TRINITY: FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT

God is uniquely One, yet triune – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. The triune-God is co-eternal, co-indwelling, co-Sovereign, and co-existing. 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:19; John 17:21; 2 Co. 13:14

JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD

The Son of God, Who Himself is God, was incarnated to be a common man by the name of Jesus Christ. He is fully God in His divinity and fully man in His humanity. John 1:1, 14; Phil. 2:6-8; 1 Tim. 2:5; 3:16a; Romans 8:3

The Son of God was also the Son of Man who died on a cross, therefore dealing with man’s sins and sin-nature, shedding His blood for man’s justification and redemption. This is because God loves man. 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7a; Romans 5:8; 1 John 2:2

THE RESURRECTION

Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; He was buried in a tomb and was raised from the dead on the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 2:24; 10:40; Romans 8:11a

THE ASCENSION

Jesus Christ ascended in glory to the right hand of God where He obtained the Name above all names –– an exclusive and all-inclusive name for the salvation of man. Acts 1:9; 2:33-36; 4:12; Philippians 2:9-11

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Jesus Christ, although seated at the right hand of the Father in glory, is at the same time within His believers via His own life-giving Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the very essence of Christ who now works within the believers to conform them to the very image of Christ. Christlikeness is the destiny of all Christ’s followers and the exclusive work of the Holy Spirit. John 14:16-18; 20:22; 1 Corinthians 15:45; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Romans 8:29

REBIRTH THROUGH REPENTANCE

God’s invitation is for all men to repent and to come into the faith. When anyone believes into Christ and by the Spirit says, “Jesus is Lord,” this person is born again and becomes a living member in the one Body of Jesus Christ. Acts 20:21; Romans 10:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; John 3:3; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 1:22-23

THE BODY OF CHRIST

Jesus’ Church is a living, spiritual body, baptized into Christ’s Person, in which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are constituting members. Ephesians 1:22-23; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 8:31-32

THE SECOND COMING

Jesus Christ is coming again to receive His saints to Himself as His Bride, forever to dwell in the New Jerusalem. Saints everywhere long for this day! We are not entirely sure when this day will occur. 1 Thessalonians 4:14, 16; 1 Corinthians 15:49-53; 1 John 3:2; Revelation 19:7-9; 21:2-3
