Basis
of Faith
We believe:
- the Old and New
Testaments, inerrant in all their parts, as originally given by inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, to be the supreme and sufficient rule of faith and
conduct - the Word of God with full Divine authority.
there is one God, eternally co-existent in three persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
- in the deity of
our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles,
His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, His bodily
resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His present
ministry of intercession and His personal return in power and glory.
- in the Holy Spirit
by whose illumination, conviction and regeneration men are brought to
repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, His work of sanctification whereby
the Christian is enabled to live a godly victorious life, and His direction
of worship, ministry and administration.
- in the fall of
man and the consequent sinfulness, guilt and condemnation of all men,
the free and perfect justification of all who believe in our Lord Jesus
Christ, and their regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- in the bodily resurrection
of both the saved and the lost, the final judgement of all men, the
eternal perfection and blessedness of the saved and the eternal punishment
of the lost.
- in the spiritual
unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who comprise His body,
the Church, irrespective of denomination.
- the supreme mission
of the Church it to glorify Jesus Christ and to be His witness to the
uttermost parts of the earth
