Statement of Faith
1. The
Holy Bible: This church
accepts the sacred words of the 66 Books of the Holy Bible as the inspired
revelation of God, as the sheet of anchor of Faith and Eternal hope, and as
the basic creed of the church and the only standard of life for the
believer.
2. God:
That the Eternal, True and Holy Trinity is one God existing in three
personalities-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. Man:
That the creation of man
was in the likeness of God, that he had a great Fall when he transgressed
God’s commandment and that only Christ the Son of God can restore the
Fallen Man to his pristine glory.
4. Repentence:
That the Fallen Man
should approach God with true repentance for sins and faith in atoning death
of Jesus Christ.
5. Justification:
That the man is justified by faith and that guilt is pardoned by the Blood
of Jesus Christ.
6. Regeneration:
That the man is born of God through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
7. Water
Baptism: In order to
become one in Christ a believer should be baptised in the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit by immersion in water and thus become
part-takers of the burial and resurrection of Christ.
8. Separation:
That the believer should be separated from sin, sinners, false doctrines and
all kinds of worship contrary to the Bible.
9. Lord's
Supper: That the
Lord’s Supper has to celebrated regularly till He comes, to commemorate
the Death of Christ.
10. Baptism
in the Holy Spirit: That
the believer should be filled with Holy Spirit. That the initial sign of
speaking in tongues follow the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and that this
speaking in tongues though the same in essence is different in its use and
operation from that of the gift of tongues.
11. Divine
Healing: Since temporal
healing is included in the Sacrifice of the Cross by Christ for atonement of
sins, a believer should take it a right and privilege to get bodily healing
y prayer and faith.
12. Sanctification:
That the believer is sanctified by the Blood of Jesus, by the Word of God
and by the Holy Spirit.
13. The
Church: That the church
is the congregation of believers; its faith and experience should confirm to
and stand steadfast in the teaching of the apostles in the New Testament.
14. The
Ministry: That the
ministers of the church such as Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers,
Evangelists and Deacons, must be those who are called by the Holy Spirit,
bestowed with gifts according to their different calling.
15. Ordination:
For those who are specially set apart for ministry of the church, ordination
should be by the laying of hands as in the New Testament.
16. Evangelisation:
Evangelisation is the main duty and privilege of the church.
17. Coming
of the Christ: Jesus is
coming soon in air and that the Bride will be caught up when Jesus comes.
18. Great
Tribulation: That there
will be a great tribulation on the earth when Anti-Christ will be in his
power, soon after the coming of the Christ in the air, and the rapture of
the Bride.
19. The
Millennium: That at the
end of the tribulation Jesus will come to earth in all His glory with all
His Saints and establish His own kingdom of Righteousness for thousand
years.
20. The
Great Judgement: That
after the Millennium Satan and his hosts will be cast forever into the lake
of fire and there will be judgement before the Great White Throne for all
the wicked who also will meet the same punishment.
21. New
Heaven and New Earth:
That at the time of the Great Judgement this present earth and heaven shall
be burned with fire and a New Heaven and a New Earth shall appear.
22. Feet
Washing and dedication
of children are
acceptable.
