The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the “Word of God”. The truths revealed in her did not have their origin in men, but in God. The Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of the Bible. Therefore, we believe that the Bible is without errors, is completely true, relevant, and is an up-to-date book. We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as eternal, authoritative, coherent, complete, and sufficient, and as the only infallible rule of faith. Its message is directed mainly to the human race. It is expressed in words and in terms that human beings can understand. Its central theme and its purpose is the salvation of man.

2 Timothy 3: 16-17, 2 Peter 1: 20-21, Psalm 12: 6, Matthew 24:35, Psalm 119: 160



God

As the Bible reveals, we believe that there is only one God; who is the Creator of visible and invisible creatures –

Genesis 1: 1, Ps. 86: 9-10, Is. 43: 10-11, John 1: 1-3, Only God will exist forever. Ez. 3:14; In God every creature receives life -John 5:26.



Jesus Christ

Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He came into the world on purpose to save sinners according to the Scriptures. It exists from eternity, it is one of the persons of the Holy Trinity. He is the Son, the only begotten of God and the beloved of God. His coming into the world had been predicted before he came in the flesh to die for us. He was born of the Virgin Mary, conceived by the Holy Spirit, without sin. He lived a perfect life, preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, performed miracles, healed the sick, and raised the dead. He voluntarily gave his life to his enemies to be crucified. He was then resurrected and ascended to heaven to become our high priest. Jesus Christ will return to establish the kingdom of God on earth, and rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with his saints forever.

Matthew 17: 15-17, John 1: 1-14, Acts 2: 32-33, Hebrews 4: 14-15, Revelation 1:13:16



The Holy Ghost

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the TRINITY. He has the same power, the same glory with God the Father and God the Son – John 14: 16-17; John 15:26; Mat. 3:16; Acts 13:24. He is one with the Father and the Son who must be worshiped and served. Three Persons who become one are the source of blessings for all living beings in Heaven and on earth – Matt. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; I John 1: 5-7.

The Holy Spirit has a great work to do. He teaches, speaks to men, and bears witness in us – Acts 16: 6-7;

He performs the work of regeneration of man – John 3: 5-6;

He also performs the work of Sanctification on born-again souls until they are completely sanctified – John 16: 8; Eph 1: 17-19; II Thess. 2:13; I Cor. 6:11.

This same Holy Spirit endows believers with gifts they can use – I Cor 12: 7; He empowers one in the Lord. Acts 1: 8.



The Trinity

We believe in the Divine Trinity. A Triune God exists in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – eternal in being, identical in nature, equal in power and glory and with the same attributes and perfections

Matthew 3: 16-17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Hebrews 9:14, 1 Peter 1: 2, 1 John 5: 7



The Fall of Man

Man (Adam) was created in the image of God before whom he walked in innocence, holiness, and purity, but through willful disobedience and transgression, he fell from the glory of God into the depths of sin. The consequence of this is that all mankind became sinful by nature by being born after the fallen image of Adam. In his fallen state man is incapable of pleasing God or having any relationship with Him. Every man is totally evil inclined, guilty and without excuse, deserving the condemnation and judgment of a just and holy God.

Genesis 1: 26-31, Genesis 2: 7, Psalm 139: 14, Col. 1:16, Psalm 51: 5, Mark 1:15



Salvation

Sin is an internal spiritual attitude of rebellion towards God, which is expressed in external acts of disobedience. Man, in his fallen state, cannot approach God or save himself, so he needs a savior. Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins. He himself, without sin, bore our sins, died in our place, and rose from the dead, so that we would be forgiven and receive eternal life. The word salvation in the Greek means “soteria” which is translated as “salvation” or “deliverance” and preservation from destruction and judgment. To own salvation, we must acknowledge our sins and repent of them; we must believe that Christ died for us and rose again; we must receive the risen Christ as our personal Savior,

Hebrews 9:29, Romans 3:10, 23, Acts 3:19, Romans 10: 8-13, Jude 3:24



Sanctification

The word sanctification in the Greek language is “hagiasmos” which means (1) to be separated from sin (2) consecrated to God, to be conformed to His holiness, purity and perfection of character. Scripture teaches that “sanctified” is what the believer is [not a process, but a state, into which the believer has already entered once and for all. Acts 20:32; Romans 15:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 10: 10-14; Ephesians 5: 25-26; 1 Peter 1: 2; Acts 26:18], and “perfect” is what it is expected to be. Perfection is a spiritual growth for those who have been sanctified and consecrated. Therefore, it is the total surrender of one’s life to the Holy Spirit, living the crucified life; being a victor; and being conformed to the image of Christ himself. Perfection and true holiness are impossible without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. All attempts to achieve perfection without the Holy Spirit generally result in frustration and failure, as the “flesh” cannot crucify the flesh.

1 Peter 2: 21-22, 1 Peter 1:15, John 3: 8-9, Corinthians 10:13, Matthew 5:48



Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a supernatural endowment with power from heaven to equip the Christian for effective witness and service. The initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in an unknown language when the spirit gives the word. The unknown language is a prayer language given to the believer, understood by God but unknown to man. It enables the Christian to build his own spiritual life through direct and continuous communion with God, and is the gateway to a life in which both the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit must be manifested. In the New Testament church, this experience was considered normal for all believers.

Joel 2:28, Luke 3:16, Acts 2: 38-39, Acts 19: 2, Mark 16:17
