Documents: Abbreviated Statement of Faith

We Believe...

..the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God

 ..that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent, that is, He is all- powerful. He is omnipresent, that is, He is present throughout Creation but not limited by it. He is omniscient, that is, nothing is hidden from his sight. In all things He is limited by nothing other than His own nature and character.

..the God we serve is Holy, righteous, good, severe, loving and full of mercy. He is the Creator, Sustainer, and Governor of everything that has been made.

..in the true deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.

 ..in the full deity of the Holy Spirit, acknowledging Him together with the Father and the Son as Creator and Redeemer.

 ..that because of Adam’s sin all mankind is in rebellion against God. For salvation of such lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.

..that salvation is by grace through faith alone, and that faith without works is dead.

..in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

..in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved to the resurrection of life. and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation.

..in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
