What We Believe…
The Apostolic Doctrine
|
|
| The Bible |
|
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the
authority for salvation and Christian living.
II Timothy 3:16.
|
|
| God |
|
There is One God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. He is both God and man.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16
|
|
| Sin and Salvation |
|
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation.
Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.
|
|
| The Gospel |
|
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4
|
|
| Christian Living |
|
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.
Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.
|
|
| The Future |
|
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life.
I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.
