Statement of Faith
The Holy Bible: This church accepts
the sacred words of the 66 Books of the Bible as the
inspired, revelation of God, as the sheet anchor of
Faith and Eternal Hope, and as the basic creed of the
church and the only standard of life for the believer.
God: That the Eternal, True and Holy
Trinity is one God existing in three
personalities-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Man: That the creation of man was in
the likeness of God, that he had a great fall when he
transgressed God's commandment and that only Christ the
Son of God can restore the Fallen Man to his Pristine
glory
Repentance: That the fallen man
should approach God with true repentance for sins and
faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ.
Justification: That the man is justified by
faith and that guilt is pardoned by the Blood of Christ.
Regeneration: That the man is born
of God through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
Water Baptism: In order to become
one in Christ a believer should be baptized in the name
of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit by immersion in water
and thus become part-takers of the burial and
resurrection of Christ.
Separation: That a believer should
be separated from sin, sinners, false doctrines and all
kinds of worship contrary to the 'Bible.
Lord's Supper: That the Lord's
Supper is to be celebrated regularly till He comes, to
commemorate the death of Christ.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit: That
the believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit: That
the initial sign of speaking in tongues follows the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit and that this speaking in
tongues though the same in essence is different in its
use and operation from that of the gift of tongues
Divine Healing: Since temporal
healing is included in the Sacrifice on the cross by
Christ for atonement of sins, a believer should take it
as a right and privilege to get bodily healing by prayer
and faith.
Sancitification: That the believer
is sanctified by the Blood of Jesus, by the Word of God
and by the Holy Spirit.
The Church: That the church is the
congregation of believers; its faith and experience
should confirm to and stand steadfast in the teaching of
the apostles in the New Testament.
The Ministry: That the ministers of
the church such as apostles, Prophets, Pastors,
Teachers, Evangelists and Deacons, must be those who are
called by the Holy Spirit, bestowed with gifts according
to their different calling.
Ordination: For those who are specially set
apart for ministry of the church, ordination should be
by the laying on of hands as in the New Testament.
Evangelization: Evangelization is
the supreme duty and privilege of the church.
Second Coming of Christ: Jesus is
coming soon in the air and that the Bride will be caught
up when Jesus comes.
Great Tribulation: That there is to
be a great tribulation on the earth when Anti-Christ
will be in his power soon after the coming of Christ in
the air, and the Rapture of the Bride.
The millennium: That at the end of
the tribulation Jesus will come to the earth in all His
glory with His saints and establish His own kingdom of
Righteousness for a thousand years.
The Great Judgment: That after the
Millennium satan and his hosts will be cast for ever
into the lake of fire and there will be judgment before
the Great White Throne for all the wicked who also will
meet the same punishment.
New Heaven and New Earth: That at
the time of the great judgment this present earth and
heaven shall be burned up with fire and a New Heaven and
a New Earth shall appear.
