We believe: |
| † |
The
Bible is the written Word of God and is without
error in its original writings. It is fully
trustworthy for faith and conduct. |
|
| † |
God
eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit and these three are one God. |
| † |
We are all
sinful by nature, cut off from God and each
individual needs to be brought into a right
relationship with God.
|
|
† |
The Lord Jesus
Christ was God in human form. He had a virgin
birth, lived a sinless life and died on the cross to
take the punishment for our sins. He physically rose
from the dead having defeated the power of sin and
death and is alive today in heaven. Only by
receiving Christ as Lord of our lives and trusting
Him to be our Saviour can we be brought into a right
relationship with God, become His children and have
everlasting life. This is by God’s grace
(undeserved favour) and He will never take it away
from us. |
| † |
The
Holy Spirit reveals to us that we are sinful and
need to turn to Christ. When we become Christians,
the Holy Spirit assures us we are God’s children. As
we allow God’s Spirit to work in us He enables us
to: understand the Bible; worship and pray; become
more like Jesus. He also wants to empower us to
witness for Jesus and equip us with His gifts for
service. |
| † |
Baptism is for
all believers and is by full immersion as
taught and practiced by Jesus Christ and His
apostles.
|
| † |
The Lord's
Supper is a symbolic commemoration of our
Lord Jesus Christ's death on the cross for us.
|
| † |
The
Lord Jesus Christ will return personally and
visibly to fulfil the purposes of God, who will
raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to
His people and eternal condemnation to the lost and
establish a new heaven and new earth. |
