Scripture: The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are divine in origin and are, therefore, the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
Gospel: It is the Good News of Jesus Christ to the human race which is separated from the Creator because of sin and disobedience. It’s message is that there is only one way of reconciliation available – that is, a person can be restored to a right relationship with the Creator only in and through the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross at Calvary. The Gospel is clearly defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-3.
Creation: was by a supernatural act of God by which He brought the universe into existence in six literal successive 24 hour days. On the seventh day God rested and viewed this creation as finished and completed without evolutionary processes. Genesis 1 – 2.
Trinity: is the Diety of the Three Persons of the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Fall of Man: The origin of man was by a direct creative act of God who formed him from the clay and gave him the breath of life, with man awakening as a living soul. Man by his voluntary and conscious choice of sin fell from his original state of innocence to that of condemnation. All men are sinners by heredity and practice and are therefore, totally without excuse – being unable to meet the standards of God’s holiness – therefore needing a Saviour.
The Way of Salvation: Jesus Christ is the only way of Salvation. He died for our sins, and rose again for our justification. Our hope of eternal life as believers is by faith in Him alone.
Works: A person is not saved or redeemed by the works he/she does. A person is saved by the finished work of Jesus Christ and none other. The works that a person does are a reflection of the work of God that has taken place within at the moment of salvation.
Sin: is anything which is contrary to the holy character of God as revealed in the Word of God.
The Role of the Holy Spirit: Is to indwell and equip the life of the believer. He bestows gifts that are to be used for the edification of the whole church body.
Judgment: there is a time coming when mankind will stand before Almighty God and be judged by Him for the deeds they have done. There is a Great White Throne judgment where God will open the Lamb’s Book of Life and those whose names do not appear in it will be judged according to their rejection of His Son as Saviour.
Hell: is a literal place that is prepared for the devil and his angels and becomes the abode of those identified with Satan and of all those who reject the person of Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
The Church; is the visible church of Jesus Christ and is made up of born again believers, walking in fellowship with Him and with each other; with Christ as the Head, seeking to proclaim the truth of the Gospel.
Satan: is a real and active created being who seeks to snare and control the lives of mankind. Originally created by God as an angel of great beauty and brightness of person, and being an angel of great power and wisdom until sin was found in him, when he sought to assume the position and place of God. He was deposed from his position by God and became and is the adversary of God and mankind.
Jesus Christ: is the eternal Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin named Mary. In His incarnation He came into possession of a real human physical nature (spirit, soul and body) and that He lived an absolute life of sinlessness. In His death, He made a full and complete atonement for our sins. His death was predetermined, voluntary, vicarious, sacrificial, expiatory, propitiatory, redemptive and substitutionary in the sinners place. He rose from the dead on the third day and ascended into heaven. he is the only mediator between God and man.
Second Coming: is the personal and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Family Unit: God has sanctioned marriage between a man and a woman, therefore we hold that marriage is a heterosexual relationship between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony.
