|
We believe in the unity of the Godhead,
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and that they are co-equal. |
| 2.
|
We believe in the sovereignty
and grace of God in creation, revelation, redemption
and final judgment. |
| 3.
|
We believe that the Bible
was inspired by God and is the Christians sole
authority in all matters of faith and conduct. We believe
therefore that the Bible does not just contain the Word
of God but that it is the Word of God. |
| 4.
|
We believe in the universal
sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall,
making man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
In the light of this, we believe in the need for a person
to be born again by the Holy Spirit and to be saved
solely by the grace of God through faith alone in Jesus
Christ. This is only made possible because of Jesus
death on the cross to make full atonement for our sin. |
| 5.
|
We believe in the full deity
of the Lord Jesus Christ the incarnate Son of God; His
virgin birth and his real and sinless humanity; His
substitutionary death on a cross, His bodily resurrection,
His Ascension, His present reign in heaven and earth
and in His future personal return. We therefore believe
that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and
man. |
| 6.
|
We believe in the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit in all those born again producing
in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character
and behaviour and empowering them for their witness
in the world. |
| 7.
|
We believe in the one holy
universal Church which is the body of Christ and to
which all true believers belong. |
| 8.
|
We believe in the resurrection
of the body and the judgment of the world by the Lord
Jesus Christ. |
| 9.
|
We believe in and adhere to
the commands and practice of believer's baptism and
the Lord's supper. |
