The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired
Word of God; that it is inerrant and infallible, the supreme
and ultimate authority in all matters of faith and conduct,
understood only through the Illumination and teaching of the
Holy Spirit.
The Godhead
We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally
and co-eternally in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, Providence
and redemption
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ; in His virgin birth; in His real and complete humanity,
in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching; In His
substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood;
in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right
hand of the Father; His heavenly intercession; in His personal,
pre-millennial and pre-tribulation return to receive His church
and to establish His millennial kingdom.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit
who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit's
work is to convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgement;
to teach; to guide into all truth; to bring the word of Christ
to remembrance; to glorify Christ; to show things to come;
to produce fruit in the life of the believers; to equip believers
for effective service and ministry.
Mankind
We believe In the total depravity of fallen
human nature, rendering mankind subject to the wroth of God.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is available to all; that it includes
justification, sanctification and glorification; that repentance
for sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are essential to
salvation; that the repentant sinner is thus justified by
faith alone; that this is evidenced in holy living.
The Church
We believe in the unity and priesthood of all true believers
in Christ.
The Commission
We believe that the commission of the lord Jesus Christ to
all believers is "Go ye into all the world, and preach
the Gospel to every creature. Teach all nations, baptising
them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you."
The Coming King
We believe in the personal, pre-millennial, pre-tribulation
return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church. We believe
that the signs of the time point exclusively towards the close
of the times of the Gentiles; that the return of Lord is imminent;
that the completed Church will be translated to meet the lord
in air air, to be forever with the Lord; that Israel will
be restored to her own land in unbelief and will afterwards
be converted as she repents, recognises and receives Christ
as Messiah prior to the Second Coming; that the Lord Jesus
Christ will then reign for a thousand years upon the earth
during which time there will be a further outpouring of the
Holy Spirit upon all flesh; that the message of the imminent
return of Christ is the greatest motivation to prayer, holiness
of life and evangelism.
The Future State
We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust;
the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in Christ and the
eternal punishment of those who have ignored or rejected the
offer of salvation.
