Faith
Statement We
believe that GOD is … Sovereign, Creator, Personal, Self-existent, Tri-unity,
Holy; Good; Infinite; Unchanging; All-Knowing; All- Powerful; Everywhere-Present
(Genesis 1:1 /1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19-20; John 4:24 /10:30;
2 Corinthians 13:14) We
believe that JESUS CHRIST is … God incarnate; born of a virgin; our Substitute;
bodily Resurrected; sole Mediator between us and God; Returning again (John
1:1-14; Romans 3:23-25; Acts 2:24-27; 1 Timothy 2:5; Titus 2:13) We
believe that the HOLY SPIRIT is … the third person of the Godhead who
Regenerates, Indwells, and Seals all believers at the time of conversion, and
Fills and gives Spiritual Gifts to all believers who are yielded to God (Matthew
28:19; John 2:3-7; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2;12/ 6:19/ 12:7-13; Ephesians 4:30)
We believe
that the BIBLE is … inspired of God; Inerrant and Infallible, the Final
Standard of faith and practice for the believer (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy
3:16; 2 Peter 1:21) We
believe that HUMANKIND … is created in the Image of God, sinned in Adam
and is now a Sinner by Nature and Choice; maintains the Essence of God’s Image
even in his fallenness, Grows and Develops will face Judgment one day (Genesis
1:26-27 /3:16; Romans 3:10-18 / 5:12-14; James 3:9; Luke 2:52) We
believe that the SALVATION is … by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ;
apart from Merit, Works; Ceremonies or Works (Acts 4:12/ 16:31, Ephesians
2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:3-5; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 8:35-39) We
believe that the EVANGELISM / MISSION is … at the heart of God; the Purpose
for all believers; integral and indispensable to our growth and discipleship as
followers of Christ (Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:8, Mark 1:17, 2 Corinthians
5:11-20) |
