We believe that Jesus Saves, Jesus Heals, Jesus Baptizes in the Holy Ghost & Jesus is coming again.
In the gospels He responded to faith and brought power and miracles into impossible situations, and He is still doing it today. He walked on water, raised the dead, fed 5000 with a kids lunch, He healed diseases, restored sinners, calmed storms, cast out devils, and He is alive today. Hebrews 13:8, Jesus, the same yesterday, today and forever. The church needs come back to the Cross, believe the Word of God and carry the power of the Holy Ghost.
We are passionate about the world seeing and experiencing the reality of Jesus TODAY!
We believe in the unity of the true and living God who is the eternal, self-existent one, who has revealed Himself as one being in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit and who is the Creator and preserver of things visible and invisible – Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Matthew 28:19; Genesis 1:1; Psalm 86:9-10; Isaiah 43:10-11; John 1:1-3.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the triune Godhead, who was and is the eternal Son of God – that He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. We believe in His sinless life, miraculous ministry, substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, glorious ascension and abiding intercession – Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22; Acts 2:22; 10:38; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 9:12; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 1:9; Ephesians 4:8-10; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the triune Godhead, who proceeds from the Father and the Son and is ever-present and active in the work of convicting and regenerating the sinner and sanctifying and guiding the believer into all truth – John 14:26; John 16:8-11; 1 Peter 1:2; Romans 8:14.
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, namely the Old and New Testaments in their original writings. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is infallible, inerrantly revealing the will of God concerning us all in all things necessary to our salvation and is absolutely supreme and sufficient in authority in all matters of faith and conduct. The Bible does not simply contain the Word of God, but is, in reality, the complete revelation and very Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that whatever is not contained therein is not to be enjoined as an article of faith – Matthew 5:17,18; 24:35; John 5:39; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21.
We believe in the personality of the devil, who by his influence, brought about the downfall of man, and now seeks to destroy the faith of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ – Genesis 3:1-15; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8; John 13:2.
We believe that man was created by God by specific immediate act and in his image and likeness, morally upright and perfect, but fell by voluntary transgression. Consequently, all men are separated from original righteousness, being depraved and without spiritual life – Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21.
We believe that God’s answer to man’s sinful state is in the death of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross, whose sufferings and shed blood have made full atonement for the sins of the whole world, both original and actual and that there is no other ground for salvation – 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Galatians 1:4; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:14; Hebrews 9:25, 26; 1 Peter 1:19, 20.
We believe salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This experience is also known as the new birth and is an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit whereupon the believing sinner is regenerated, justified and adopted into the family of God and becomes a new creation in Christ Jesus and heir of eternal life – Titus 2:11, 3:5-7; 1 Peter 1:23; 1 John 5:1.
The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the first-born which are written in heaven – Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:22; Hebrews 12:23.
We believe that Baptism, by single immersion, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, is enjoined upon all who have repented and have believed in Christ as Saviour and Lord and that it is symbolic of our identification with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection – Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 10:47-48; 2:38-39; Romans 6:4-5; Colossians 2:12; Mark 16:16.
We believe the Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4); a memorial of his sufferings and death (1 Corinthians 11:26); and a prophecy of his second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26) and is enjoined upon all believers “until He comes” – Luke 22:15-20; Matthew 26:26-28; Acts 20:7.
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and of dedication unto God. We believe it is the glorious provision for every believer in Christ to be made pure in heart and wholly sanctified through the operation of the Holy Spirit, by the blood of Jesus and the Word of God – John 17:15-19; Acts 15:8-9; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4; Hebrews 2:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; Hebrews 10:16-19; Romans 12:1-2.
We believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the bestowing of the believer with power to be an effective witness for Christ. This experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new birth; is received by faith, and is accompanied by the manifestation of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, as the initial evidence – Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,5,8; 2:1-4; 8:15-19; 11:14-17; 19:1-7.
We believe in the present-day operation of the nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, as recorded in 1 Corinthians 12. We also believe in the ministry gifts of Christ, as recorded in Ephesians 4:11-13
In accordance with the teachings of the Scriptures, we trust our heavenly Father to protect and heal our bodies from sickness and disease. We believe that divine healing for the body, as with all redemptive blessings of God, has been provided for us by the atoning death and victorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; it is the privilege of all believers and it is appropriated by faith in our heavenly Father’s unfailing promises – Exodus 15:26; Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16,17; 1 Peter 2:24; Psalms 103:3; James 5:14-15; Mark 16:17-18.
We believe in the pre-millennial, imminent and personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ to gather his people unto himself. Having this glorious hope and earnest expectation, we purify ourselves, even as He is pure, so that we may be ready to meet Him when He comes -John 14:1-3; James 5:7-8; Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:1; 1 John 2:28; 3:2, 3.
