We believe in….
1) The one true God who lives eternally in three persons- the Father, the son and the Holy-Spirit.
2) The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming the world.
3) The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the old and new testament scripture as the written word of God- fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
4) The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy as a creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
5) The incarnation of God's eternal Son the Lord Jesus Christ-born of a virgin Mary, truly human, yet without sin.
6) The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross dying in our place, paying the price of evil, so reconciling us to God..
7) The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruit of our resurrection. His ascension to reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
8) The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
9) The ministry of God the Holy-Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ by birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
10) The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believer the spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, justice and love.
11) The personal and viable return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purpose of God who will rule in judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the unrepented, new heaven & new earth. |
