STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. The Bible
We believe the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, consisting of the 66 Books, that is, the Old Testament and New Testament, as the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
2. God
1) We believe in one God, Creator of Heaven and earth and of the whole universe, and that He exists and manifests Himself to us in three Persons, the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit.
2) We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the Eternal Word manifested in flesh. We believe that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, and that He is the true God and true man, being the Son of God and God the Son. We believe in the vicarious, substitutionary and redeeming death of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died for our sins according to the scriptures. We believe that He ascended into Heaven where He now sits at the right hand of the throne of God, the Father Almighty, to make intercession for us. He only is the Great High Priest, and we need not the imminent and premillennial return for His personal coming in glory to judge the rebellious and to establish His Millennial Reign.
3) Holy Spirit. We believe in the Holy Spirit, in His personality, that He is God. We believe that His work is to convict men of sin: to regenerate, indwell and set the believer apart to a holy life: to keep and empower the believer day by day. We believe that He is the Teacher of God’s Word and the Guide for the daily life.
3. Man
We believe that he, having been created pure and in the image of God, is by his own sin fallen from grace, and in consequence, all have sinned, are guilty and lost and absolutely incapable of saving themselves by their own works, being dead in their trespasses and sins.
4. Salvation
We believe that we are saved solely: by grace, through faith in the Blood Sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe in the eternal security and everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal judgment and punishment of all who reject our Lord Jesus Christ: “this is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:14-15).
5. Satan
We believe that Satan is a person, the author of the fall, and that he shall be eternally punished.
6. Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the lost to judgment and everlasting punishment.
7. Lord’s Supper
We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper to commemorate His death till He comes, and we as believers in His atoning work for us should be present at all communion services of this, our church.
8. Baptism
We believe that water baptism is a symbol of the believer’s union with Christ in His death and in His resurrection. We believe that it should be the duty of every believer to be baptized publicly that he make a public confession of his faith and belief in the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
9. The Church
We believe that the Church of Jesus is composed solely of those who have been redeemed and washed in His blood, and regenerated and sealed by the Holy Spirit, and that they are saved to serve: and that it is the responsibility and privilege of all who are saved to seek to win others to Christ, to the “uttermost part of the earth:” that they must seek to live a holy life, to separate themselves from and forsake all that might dishonor God or cast discredit on His cause, or weaken their testimony.
