The Essentials We BelieveAbout God
God is the Creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus was born of a virgin and lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heavens’ glory and will return again some day to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of the Scriptures and spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with speaking in other tongues, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the equipping of the ministry and the edification of the Church.
About the Bible
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the direct supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and life style. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without and mixture of error.
About Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to us by faith in and confession of Jesus Christ as Lord – but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus Christ in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his/her life by faith.
About the Ordinances
Water Baptism for all believers by immersion. The Lord’s Supper, celebrated regularly by believers.
About Divine Healing
Divine healing is secured for every believer through the atonement of Christ; and deliverance from all bondage to the power of satan.
About the Church Universal
Comprising all born again believers of al nations and denominations under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, of eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in unison with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
