Statement of Faith
1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments
in their original writing as fully inspired of God and accept them as the
supreme and final authority for faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons –
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father,
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true
man.
4. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man
sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death – physical and
spiritual; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which manifests (in
the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression
involving personal guilt.
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a
substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all who believe
in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
6. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
7. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the
Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become
the children of God.
9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering and
equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of
the Holy Spirit; and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
10. We believe in the God-given ministries of the Apostle,
Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.
11. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the
unjust, the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of
salvation.
12. We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of
those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy
Spirit; that the local church on earth should take its character from this
conception of the spiritual Church and therefore, that the new birth and
personal confession of Christ are essentials of Church membership.
13. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two
ordinance – Baptism in water and the Lord’s Supper – to be observed as acts of
obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian
faith; that baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession
of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection, and that the Lord’s
Supper is the partaking of the emblems as symbolical of the Saviour’s broken
body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, till He comes.
14. We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old
Testament (Exodus 15:23-26; Psalm103:1-3; Isaiah 53:4-5), and is an integral
part of the Gospel (Matthew 8:16-17; Acts 5:16).
15. We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man
can see the Lord.
16. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite,
yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and
continuing until the consummation of salvation (Hebrew 12:14; 1 Thessalonians
5:23; 2Peter 3:18; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14; 1 Corinthians
1:30).
17. Concerning sexual orientation, we believe in heterosexual
relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of
lawful matrimony (Matthew 19:4-6).
18. The church is open to any further truth which the Holy
Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures as interpreted and understood by the
pastor/s and leaders and accepted by the church as per Clause 10 of section 1
concerning any other amendment to this statement of Faith and Constitution.
