Statement of Faith

Section A. The scriptures. We affirm that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are God’s own written Word, given to us through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Ti 3:16-17)

Section B. God. We believe in the only true God (Joh..17:3), the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Mat.28:19), who created all things (Rev.4:11), and upholds all things by the word of His power (Heb.1:3). We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God and worthy of precisely the same honour. (Mar.12:29; Joh.1:1-4; Mat.28:19-20; Act.5:3-4; 2Co.13:14; Heb.1:1-3; Rev.1:4-6).

Section D. Man. We believe that by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned (Rom.5:12), and judgment came upon all men to condemnation (Rom.5:18). For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom.6:23). (Gen.1:26, 3:17; Eph.2:1-3; 1Jo.3:8). 

Section E. Jesus Christ and Salvation. We believe Jesus is the Christ, the son of the most High God and God, the Saviour of the humanity and King of the kings. We believe there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Act.4:12). We believe in His conception by the Holy Spirit, His birth by Marie, His Holy life, His testimonies by the apostles, His death on the cross for our sins (Col 1:21-22), His resurrection on the third day (1Co. 15:3-4) and His ascension to heaven where He is seated on the right hand of the Majesty on high (Heb.1:3), now to appear in the presence of God for us (Heb.9:24). 

Section F. Second Coming. We believe in the imminent personal return of Christ for His church (1Th.4:16-17) and His pre-millennial coming to establish His kingdom on earth. We also believe in the resurrection of those who had died. Those who had died saved for the everlasting life and those who had died unsaved for everlasting destruction from the presence of God. (Luk.12:40; Tit.2:13). Zec.14; Rom.11:25-27).

Section G. Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost to unify all believers into one body, the church, in fulfilment of the promise Jesus gave to the apostles (Act.1:5; 1Co.12:13; Eph.4:3-6, 11-13). His presence in the lives of believers is revealed by His fruit: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control (Gal.5:22-23). We believe that the Holy Spirit, not as an influence, but as a Divine Person (Rom.8:27; Eph.4:30; 1Co.12:11), the source and power of all acceptable worship and service, is our abiding Comforter and Helper (Joh.14:16-17; 15:26; 16:13-14), that He never takes His departure from the church, nor from the feeblest of the saints (Eph.1:13-14), but is ever present to testify of Christ, seeking to occupy us with Him. (Joh.7:38-39; Act.1:8; Rom.8:9).

Section H. Christian Living. We believe that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God has before ordained that we should walk in them, remembering our responsibility to pray for all those in authority and to do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith (Eph.2:8-10; 1Ti.2:1-2; Gal.6:10). We believe that we are called with a holy calling to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and so to live in the Spirit that we should not fulfil the lusts of the flesh; but the flesh being still in us to the end of our earthly pilgrimage, needs to be kept constantly in subjection to Christ, or it will surely manifest its presence to the dishonour of His name (Rom.8:12, 13:14; Gal.5:16-25; Eph.4:22-24; Col.3:1-10).

Section J: the Lord’s Super and Baptism. We believe and observe the ordinances of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Jesus commanded us to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Mat.28:19) and teaching them to live a Holy life. Furthermore, in the same night in which He was betrayed, He took bread and then the cup, and when He had given thanks He said, “Take, eat. This is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me”… and then …“This cup is the New Testament in my blood. This does ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me”. Therefore we observe these ordinances.
