Statement of Faith

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is a revelation from God to man. The only infallible and
authoritative rule of faith and conduct and is superior to conscience and reason.

There is one God eternally existent in Three Persons, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19;  John 1:1; Isaiah 9:6; 2 Corinthians 3:17)

Man, his Fall and Redemption
Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness” But man by voluntary transgression fell and his only Hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God.
(Genesis 1:26, 31; Genesis 3:1-7; Romans 5:12, 21)
 
The only means of Salvation of man is regeneration by The Holy Spirit through repentance towards God and faith in The Lord Jesus Christ. The inward evidence of his Salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit and the outward evidence to all men is the life of righteousness and true holiness, displayed by the fruit of the Spirit.

Healing for the human body
The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body, which may be appropriated in answer to believing prayer.
(1 Peter 2:23; Mark 16:8; Isaiah 53:4,5)
 
Sanctification
The scripture teaches a life of holiness without which no man will see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the command ‘be ye holy for I am holy’ Sanctification is the will of God for all believers and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word.
(Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 John 2:7; Romans 8:3-4)
 
The Baptism of The Holy Spirit
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service.
(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4)

Water Baptism
When a person receives Jesus Christ as Lord and  Personal Saviour, He identifies fully with what happened to Jesus. The awesome significance of Water Baptism is that it symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and our identification with Him in them. Water Baptism is a physical act that should indelibly mark the mind of the person being baptized with the union with Jesus Christ, and gives The Believer an opportunity to openly testify to others of his born-again experience
(Romans 6:4-6; Acts 8:36-38)

The Ministry and Evangelism
