Doctrinal Distinctives
- We believe in the divine, verbal and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures in the original languages, their consequent inerrancy and infallibility, and, as the Word of God, the supreme and final authority in faith and life;
- We believe in one God existing in three co-equal and co-eternal Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
- We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man;
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, but sinned through the fall of Adam, thereby incurring not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are therefore sinners in thought, word and deed;
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died a propitiatory and expiatory death as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who repent of their sins and believe in Him are justified before God on the grounds of His shed blood;
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His exaltation at the right hand of God, where He intercedes for us as our High Priest and Advocate;
- We believe in the personal and visible return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to judge this world and bring peace to the nations;
- We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works, and that all who repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour are born again by the Holy Spirit and thereby become the children of God;
- We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to convict and regenerate the sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service;
- We believe that Christ instituted the Sacrament of Baptism and the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, which sacraments shall be observed by His Church till He comes;
- We believe in the eternal security, bodily resurrection, and eternal blessedness of the saved and in the bodily resurrection and eternal conscious punishment of the lost;
- We believe in the real, spiritual unity in Christ of all redeemed by His precious blood and the necessity of faithfully maintaining the purity of the church in doctrine and life according to the Word of God.
