Statement of Faith
THE WORD OF GOD:
We believe the Bible consists of 66 books, both Old (39) and New (27) Testament, which is the sole authority for every believer in terms of norms and practice.
(Psalms 12:6,7; Matthew 5:18-19; Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:16-17;
1 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
ONE TRUE GOD:
We believe in the one Creator God who is Lord of heaven and earth, existing in three distinct eternal Persons namely the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:1,2; Deuteronomy 6:4; Job 33:4; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:10)
JESUS, THE GOD-MAN:
We affirm the full Deity and humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was sent by the Father to suffer and die a cruel death on the cross. He was buried and after three days rose again physically from the dead. He ascended into heaven and seated at the right hand of His Father.
(Mark 16:19; John 1:1; 2:19; 3:16; 19:18; 20:28; Acts 1:9; 5:30; Philippians 2:6-8;
1 Peter 2:21; 1 Thessalonians 4:14)
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD:
We believe in the Deity and personality of the Holy Spirit. After the Son’s ascension, He sent the third Person of the Godhead also to empower every believer for witnessing.
(John 4:24; 16:7-15; Acts 1:8; 5:3,4)
SAVED BY GRACE:
We believe that every person who is a sinner can be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. A person is justified to be righteous before God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone--apart from good works. A person’s faith is justified before the eyes of men by good works. Every saved person is created by God for good works.
(Romans 3:28; 4:5; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12; 2 Timothy 1:9;
1 Thessalonians 4:14; James 2:14-26)
THE GOOD NEWS NOW:
We believe in the urgency of proclaiming the gospel to every person so they would escape the wrath of God in a literal hell fire and experience eternal life.
(Matthew 18:9; John 3:16,17; Romans 6:23)
THE TRUE CHURCH:
We believe that the universal Church, with Jesus Christ as its head, consists of true believers around the globe who have experienced salvation in Him.
(Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:47; Ephesians 5:23; 2 Corinthians 6:16)
JESUS IS COMING SOON:
We believe Jesus will come again visibly.
