This We Believe...
Concerning God
We believe in one true God, Creator of all things and Lord of the universe, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Concerning Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, being true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross for the atonement of man's iniquities, so that man may be delivered from condemnation and power of sin. Further arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Father, He now is the Advocate and High Priest interceding for the saints. He is also the Head of the church, and come back visibly again from heaven to establish His kingdom and to judge the living and the dead.
We believe that all authority in heaven and earth was given to Jesus Christ after His bodily resurrection . Therefore, it is the duty of every believer to be involved in spreading the good news of salvation in Christ by making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Concerning the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of The Trinity, who descended on the day of the Pentecost to glorify Christ, convict sinners, grant new birth, and to indwell and empower the believers for victorious and holy living, and to unite them into one body, the Church of Christ.
Concerning Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God but became spiritually dead because of disobedience to God. Since Adam our forefather sinned, all have become sinners, living under the wrath of God. Only through sincere repentance of Christ redemption, cleansing by His blood and regeneration by the Holy Spirit can one enter the Kingdom of God.
Concerning Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God and can only be received by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation can be found in no one else, because no other name was given to mankind for the forgiveness of his sins that he might be saved.
Concerning the Holy Bible
We believe the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, the living Word of life, wholly truthfully and trustworthy, and the final authority for all Christian faith and life.
Concerning the Lord's Supper
We believe that water baptism and Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
Concerning the Resurrection
We believe that all men will be resurrected, the believers to eternal life and heavenly blessings, and the unbelievers condemned to eternal death in hell.
Concerning the Enemy
We believe that Satan is the devil, the source of all evil. He is working in the hearts of disobedient men, and will one day receive eternal punishment.
