1.
We
believe the Scripture, both the Old and the New Testaments to be the inspired
Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of
His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all
Christian faith and life.
2.
We
believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally
existing in three Persons – Father Son and Holy Spirit.
3.
We
believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of
the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice
for our sins according to the Scripture. Further, on the third day, He arose
bodily from the dead. He ascended on high, and is now our High Priest and
Advocate.
4.
We
believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus
Christ, and during this age to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing
sinners, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and
fruitful service.
5.
We
believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is
therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation
and spiritual life be obtained.
6.
We
believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the
only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such
as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of
God.
7.
We
believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed
by the Church during this present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as
a means of salvation.
8.
We
believe that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in its totality is the Body of
which Christ is the Head, and of which all true believers are part.
9.
We
believe in a particular locality the Church is an organised body of believers
who have voluntarily bound themselves together in fellowship for the worship of
God, for mutual encouragement and service, spiritual nourishment and growth,
and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ to the world.
10. We believe that
membership in such a local Church is a privilege and responsibility properly
extended only to those who have accepted Jesus Christ as personal Saviour and
Lord, and who are willing to submit to the authority of the Church.
11. We believe in the
personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and this blessed hope
has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believers.
12. We believe in the bodily
resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy
with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgement and everlasting conscious
punishment.
