1. The Holy Bible.

We believe that the Bible, being God's own Word, written by men prepared and superintended by His Spirit, is of infallible divine authority in all matters upon which it touches: it is to be believed, as God's instruction, in all that it affirms; obeyed, as God's command, in all that it requires; embraced, as God's pledge, in all that it promises. Therefore, the Bible is the highest authority for both church and life. (II Timothy 3:15-17; II Peter 1:21). 

2. The One True God.

We believe that God exists as three distinct persons- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These Three  are One: co-equal, co-existent and co-eternal.  (John 10:36; 14:26; 20:21-22).

 

3. Lord Jesus Christ. 

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal returning in power and glory (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 1:34-35).       

4. Creation. 

We believe the triune God created the universe apart from pre-existing materials and without any evolutionary process, man was  created in God's image and likeness. We believe in the historicity of the first eleven chapters of Genesis (Genesis 1; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalms 102:25; Acts14:15).

5. Satan. 

We believe that Satan was originally created a perfect being. He rebelled against God. As a result he became depraved, the devil and adversary of God and His people, the leader of a host of angels who fell with him. Satan has been judged and defeated at the cross and awaits his ultimate doom at the conclusion of the Millennial Reign which takes place after the Second Advent of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:2; I Thessalonians 3:5; I Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:9; 20:1-3; 7-10).

6. The Fall of Man. 

We believe that  man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness!" However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).         

7. The Salvation of Man. 

We believe that  man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.          
a. Conditions to Salvation. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7).
b. The Evidences of Salvation. The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12).  

8. Sanctification. 

We believe that:       
a. Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and of dedication unto God (Romans 12:1-2; I Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12).         
b. Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:1-11,13; 8:1-2,13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12-13; I Peter 1:5).  

9. The Holy Spirit. 

We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts men of sin, regenerates them, baptizing them into the Body of Christ at their conversion, who seals, indwells and fills believers, producing in them the fruit of the Spirit, and who bestows power and gifts for service. (John 16:8‑9; 3:3,5; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18; Galatians 5:22‑33)

​​

10. The Church.         
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointment for the fulfillment of her great commission. Whereas each believer is to identify with and worship with a local assembly,  every  believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven (Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).  
 

11. The Ministry Offices.

We believe that the divinely called and scripturally ordained five-fold ministry offices of  Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers have been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the Church in: (1) Evangelization of the world (Mark 16:15-20); (2) Worship of God (John 4:23-24); (3) Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11-16).

​​

12. The Ordinances and Practices of the Church. 

We believe that the following ordinances and practices are to be carried out by the Church (The Body of Christ):
a. Baptism in Water. The ordinance of baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4).  

        
b. Holy Communion. The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements - bread and wine - is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (II Peter 1:4); a memorial of His suffering and death (I Corinthians 11:26); and a prophecy of His second coming (I Corinthians 11:26); and is enjoined on all believers "until He comes!"

c. Child Dedication. Since water baptism is an outward expression of an inward work of grace, we do not practice infant baptism. However, we do encourage presenting our children to the Lord in child dedication and blessing until they are old enough to make their own choice and decision (Luke 2:27; Mark 10:13-16).

​

13. Biblical Marriage. 

We believe that in constituting the first accredited institution in society, God defined marriage as being exclusively between one man and one woman, and all other variations are gross distortions of God’s plan. (Gen. 1:27, 2:18, 23-24). Homosexual behavior is sin because it is disobedient to the most basic scriptural and moral teachings which define the church: “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.” (Leviticus 20:13 NIV). When the church condones detestable behavior, it becomes detestable to God. (Romans 1:25–27, I Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Timothy 1:9-10). It is sin because it violates the created order for families. Condoning homosexual behavior brings destruction upon the church institution (Genesis 19:4–11, 24-25), and any governmental effort to force religious institutions to condone homosexual behavior is the government attempting to destroy the church.

14. Racism.
We believe that God created all men equal in value and imputed upon them dignity and the Imago Dei. One is never partially in the Image of God any more than one may be partially alive. Attempts to identify, treat, or view certain people or groups as lesser members of humankind are a blasphemous affront to our Creator. Racism in all its forms is sin, for it grounds the identity and security of human life in self rather than God, in creature rather than the Creator, apart from whom a human being has no identity or value. Self-indulgent pride in “race,” therefore, must be regarded as idolatry in one of its most ugly forms, an attempt to be like God. We believe prejudice to be an attempt to reverse the creative act of God and what God has valued, let no man devalue. Secondly, racism is an attempt to reverse the redemptive act of Christ. In Jesus Christ, God became a Man and so identified Himself fully with every member of the human family in whatever nation or culture they may be found. Jesus Christ has removed all barriers that stand between human beings, giving reconciliation through His cross. Thirdly, through the means of grace, God empowers and commands all Christians “to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against the soul,” including the sin of racism. (Genesis 1:26-27; 9:6; John 13:35, 15:12-13; Acts 17:24-26; I Corinthians 1:13; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 2:13-16; 1 Timothy 2:3-6; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 2:9-10)          

15. The Blessed Hope. 

We believe that the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; I Corinthians 15:51-52).

​

16. The Coming Judgements.

We believe that there will be three special judgements.

a. The Judgement of the Believers: This would start immediately believers are caught up in the sky, they shall stand before Christ. After this judgement they will descend down with Christ upon the earth (II Corinthians 5:10; I Corinthians 3:3; 11-15; James 1:12; Romans 2:16).

b. The Judgement of the Nation: This will be the time when Jesus appears upon earth between the millennial reign and final judgement. (Acts 17:31; Joel 3:2; Ezekiel 14:15; Jude 1:14-15; II Thessalonians 1:7-10; Romans 2:16; Revelation 1:7; Mal. 16:21).

c. The Judgement of the Unbelievers (The White Throne Judgement): This will happen after Christ’s one thousand years reign at the White Throne. (Revelation 20:11-15; II Peter 3:7; Daniel 12:2).

 

17. The Millennial Reign of Christ.

We believe that the Word of God promises the catching away of the prepared and waiting saints, followed by the great tribulation, and then the return of our Lord with His saints and holy angels in power and great glory to reign on earth a thousand years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel (Ezekiel 37:21-22; Zephaniah 3:19-20; Romans 11:26-27) and the establishment of universal peace (Isaiah 11:6-9; Psalms 72:3-8; Micah 4:3-4).

 

18. Eternal Life and Eternal Punishment

The Bible teaches, and so we believe  that there is eternal punishment as well as eternal life – Matt. 25:46. The wicked people will be sent to a fiery hell made of sulfur, to be tormented both day and night. The punishment will continue forever and ever. (Revelation 14:10-11; Luke. 16:24; Mark 9:43-44).

​

19. New Heaven and New Earth

The Word of God teaches, and so we believe that after judgement, this wicked world will be removed. God will create a new Heaven and a new earth in which HOLINESS will exist. (Matthew 24:35; II Peter 3:12-13; Revelation 21:1-3; Isaiah 65:17:; 66:22)
