STATEMENT OF BELIEF
- HOLY BIBLE
The Bible was written by men who wrote under the direct control,
inspiration, and anointing of God. The Bible does not contain the Word
of God, but rather it is the Word of God, the infallible, inerrant, only
written revelation, which God has given to man. It increases man's faith, as well
as instructs and corrects him that he might become holy, separated from
the world and unto God. The main theme of the Bible is God's plan of
salvation in Jesus Christ. Everything in the life of every human being
is directly or indirectly affected by his attitude about the
Bible—whether or not he accepts it as the inspired Word of God. It is
the supreme and final authority in all matters about which it speaks.
Only The Holy Bible is the authoritative word of God and
absolutely perfect in its claims meaning it is inerrant in its
teachings and completely inspired by God. 1st Peter 1:24-25, 2nd Timothy 3:16.
- THE GODHEAD
God Almighty, The creator of Heaven and Earth is absolutely Holy and a
Loving Father, A Spirit Being, and exists as God The Father, God The Son
and God The Holy Spirit. But yet He is still one God. God is expressed
in 3 persons: God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. The
reality is revealed in The Old testament in Genesis 1:1-3, 2:6, and in
the New Testament in Christ's Baptism by John The Baptist, Mathew
3:16-17, and in Jesus teachings, John 14:26, 15:26, 28:19, 1ST John
5:7, 2nd Corinth 13:14, John 4:24, Isaiah 6:3
- DEITY OF JESUS
CHRIST - We believe
in the Deity of
Jesus Christ. He
is God incarnate.
Jesus Christ is
the way The Truth
and The Life, nobody
can come to God
except through Him.
John 1:1,14, John
14:6, Titus 2:13
- REPENTANCE
This is turning away from one's sinful life and changing one's
orientation from rebelling against God to acceptance of God’s will and
Lordship. God commands all person to repent, Acts 17:30. So also Jesus
talked about Repentance in Luke 5:32, 17:3. His teachings involved
forgiving a repentant brother. Examples of genuine repentance are found
in Jesus sighting of Nineveh as a reference in Mathew 12:41 as recorded
in Jonah 3:5-10
- SALVATION
Salvation is the total work of God in Delivering Human race from sinful
nature, thereby reconciling us to himself. This happens when a person
extends a trusting submitting Faith in Christ Jesus for his personal
deliverance from the bondage of sin, and subsequently receives the gift
of redemption instantly. At this moment, the person passes from spiritual
death to life, from darkness to light and from The Power of Satan to the
power of God. The Person is instantly declared righteous in God's
sight. Not because of his own self-righteousness but because of God's
grace, mercy and love. John 3:1-8, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, John 5:24, Acts 26:18, Acts
4:12,2:38-39.
- WATER BAPTISM
AND BAPTISM OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT -
We also believe
that all true Christians
must be water baptized
by immersion after
full repentance
and renouncing of
their sins as a
sign of dying and
resurrecting with
Jesus Christ.
ROMANS 6:1-4.
We also believe
that the moment
a person accepts
Jesus Christ as
Lord and Personal Savior, he has
the Holy Spirit
indwelling in him.
The fullness of
The Holy Spirit
is a separate experience
which must be desired.
Acts 1:8, 19:3-6
-
SANCTIFICATION AND HOLINESS - We believe since Human Beings are given
the consciousness of choosing between right and wrong. God holds us
responsible for our choices Genesis 3:6-20. Christians should therefore
abstain from all kinds of worldly lusts and desires which can grieve
the indwelling Holy Spirit of God in the believer EPHESIANS 4:30. A
believer receives the Grace of Sanctification and Holiness as he is
being filled with the Spirit of God through reading and growing in His
Words Romans 10:17, Ephesians 5:18. The Bible clearly teaches that
without Holiness no one can see God. We therefore preach abstinence
from indecent worldly desires in dressings, Jewelries, ungodly local
traditions, desperate personal enrichment that will not glorify God
through Jesus Christ and so on. Christians must also present their
bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is their
reasonable service. The Holy Bible further instructs Christians not to
be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of
their mind that they may prove what is that good and acceptable and
perfect will of God. These can only be achieved by the witness of the
Holy Spirit in a believer as he plays his own role of absolute
surrender and Humility to the word of God. JAMES 4:4-6, 1ST PETER
5:5, Romans 12:1-2, Hebrews 12:14, 1St Timothy 2:9-10.
- HEALINGS AND
MIRACLES - We believe
that Jesus Christ,
who is the same
yesterday, today
and forever, still
heals and performs
miracles on believers
until the present day
through His Holy
Spirit, if we ask
and believe.
We therefore teach
that all the gifts
of the Holy Spirit
are very much available
to all believing
Christians until
today.
Mark 16:17, 1st
Corinthians12:1-13,
James 5:14-15
- SECOND COMING
OF JESUS CHRIST
- The Holy Bible
clearly teaches
that: And then shall
appear the sign
of the Son of man
in heaven, and then
shall all the tribes
of the earth mourn
and they shall see
the Son of man coming
in the clouds with
power and great
glory. Time
is coming when all
the dead will hear
His voice.
Those who have done
good rise to live
and those who have
done evil be condemned.
The ones who have
done good includes
only those who shall
endure persecutions
to the end not false
prophets or those
they succeed in
deceiving.
Isaiah 35:10,
Matthew
24;10-14, 24:
29-31,
John 5:28-29, Revelations
21:1-4, 22 1-5, 1st
Corinthians 15:50-54
