What We Believe
The Church
We believe in the, “universal church”, universal meaning all that believe in Jesus
are a member of the body which belongs to the Lord. “For as the body is one, and
hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one
body: so also is Christ.” (I Cor. 12:12). The Church consist of all nations of
believers who have been called out from the world. (I Cor. 1:9; Gal. 1:15;
I Thess. 2:12)
The Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible is The Book of all books. It is a collection of books
by various writers (II Peter 1:21) and that all scripture is given by inspiration of God
(I Cor. 2:13), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness. (II Tim. 3:16)
GodHead
We believe there is one God (Deut. 6:4), who externally exists in three persons. God
the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18-20; Rom. 1:7;
Heb. 1:8; Acts 5:3.4)
Regeneration
We believe that it is the work of God to be born again from above. (John 3:3;
Titus 3:5) We overcome the world through faith being born of God. (I John 5:4)
When a person believes the gospel of Jesus Christ, then God regenerates according
to His will through the Holy Spirit. (I Peter 1:23; John 1:12,13; John 3:5;
James 1:18)
Justification
We believe that Jesus died on the Cross, for our sins and his blood sacrifice was the
offering for the remission of our sins that are past to declare us righteousness in the
presence of God. (Rom. 3:24,25) We believe that God’s grace was unmerited,
undeserving, freely given and a gift from God; therefore being justified by faith, we
are saved and have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephes. 2:5,8;
Rom. 5:15)
Sanctification
We believe we are declare righteousness by justification and in sanctification we may
become righteous. (I Cor. 6:11) The sanctification process is the work of God in
us to yield good fruit of our relationship with him. (Gal. 5:17-22) It includes separating
from a sinful world and dedication unto God. (John 10:36) We believe that a saint
should grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord and be transformed from glory
to glory. (II Peter 3:18; II Cor. 3:18) We believe a saint should live a righteous and
holy life unto God. (I Cor. 3:17; Ephes. 1:4)
Discipleship
We believe in teaching all nations and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19,20) We believe we are called for evangelizing the lost
during the present age.
Resurrection/Judgment and Eternal Destiny
We believe in the resurrection of Christ, First. He was the first to rise from the grave
with a body that was no longer subject to death. (Rom. 6:9; Rev. 1:18) He was the
first born from the dead. (Col. 1:18) We believe in the resurrection of believers and
unbelievers.
We believe judgment will take place with believers (I Cor. 3:10-15; II Cor. 5:10),
old testament saints (Dan.12:1-3), tribulation saints (Rev. 20:4-6), living Jews
(Ezek. 20:34-38), living Gentiles (Joel 3:1-2; Matt. 25:31-46), satan and fallen
angels (Matt. 25:41; II Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Rev. 20:10) and unsaved people
(Rev. 20:11-15)
We believe that believers will have life eternal and the unbelievers will have eternal
fire. (Matt. 25:46; John 3:16; Jude 1:7; Luke 14:14; Rev 20:5) We believe the
prophecy of the rapture of the Church will be fulfilled (I Thess. 4:13-18;
I Cor.15:51,52; John 14:1-3). We believe Jesus Christ will return to establish an
millennial Kingdom for a thousand years. (Isa.11:1-12; Rev. 20:1-6). We believe
Jesus will reign forever and we will see a new heaven and a new earth. (Rev. 21)
