Statement of Faith

 

I believe:

 

  • There is only one true God. (Deut 6:4)
  • God is three persons in one: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matt 28:19)
  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who existed before time began as God, but who came as a man to this earth to be our Redeemer. (John 1:1)
  • In the creation of this world by God and all of life within it. (Genesis 1:1)
  • In sin and the fall of mankind through disobedience resulting in the separation of man from God. (Romans 3:23)
  • The nature of man today is contrary to the nature of God and is in need of redemption. (Galatians 5:16-18)
  • In a judgement day when God will judge the living and the dead. (Acts 17:31)
  • Jesus came as God's redeemer to save mankind and deliver him from the power of sin and death. (Ephesians 1:7)
  • Jesus died on the cross, taking all our sins upon himself, being judged and suffering the sentence of death and separation from God as the wages of our sins. (2 Cor 5:21)
  • Having died once for all mankind, He rose from the dead on the third day, paving the way for all mankind to be restored back to the image and position he held before he fell into sin; restoring fellowship between man and God. (Galatians 1:4)
  • Everyone who will believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, repenting of their sin of living a life of disobedience to God, and accept and confess Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of their lives, putting their faith in Him and entrusting their lives to Him will be saved from eternal damnation and will be restored to the presence of God to know God. (John 1:12)
  • In the Holy Spirit being the Life of the new man in Christ, flowing His fruit and gifts of the Spirit through man, empowering man to once again walk in the image and power of God. (Rom 8:2, Galatians 5:22, 1Cor 12:4-11)
  • The Church being the collective group of believers who make up the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:10-13)
  • In the Rapture of the Church when we will be removed from the earth to be united with Christ for all eternity. (1Cor 15:20-24, 51-53)
  • I believe in the New Millennium when Christ will return to establish His Kingdom on earth and restore peace to all mankind. (Rev 20:1-6)
