Statement of Faith
We believe:
In God our Father
§
In One God our Father, All
Sovereign; Maker of heaven - Maker of earth, Maker of things visible and
invisible
In
Jesus our Lord.
§
In Jesus Christ - His only
begotten Son - our Lord.
o
The Word of God, begotten of
the Father before all ages, light of light, true God of true God, begotten not
made, of one substance with the Father, through whom all things were made.
o
Who for us human beings and for
our salvation came down from the heavens and was made flesh by the power of the
Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. He was despised by his own people, was
crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, died and was buried, and rose again on
the third day, ascended into the heavens to sit on the right hand of the
Father.
o
Jesus Christ is the only way to
the Father and alone offers remission of sins and resurrection of the flesh and
life everlasting.
In the Holy Spirit our
Counselor
§
In the Holy Spirit, life giver
that proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and Son is worshipped
together and glorified together. He is
our counselor, comforter and friend.
In the Church
§
That Jesus Christ is the Head
of the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of the Saints, which is made up of
people from every tongue, tribe and nation that live
by the truth of the Word of God, and believe in Him. For there is one Lord, one Faith and one
Baptism and that is unto Jesus Christ.
§
That Jesus Christ will return
in glory to judge the living and the dead.
§
That a home has been prepared
for both those alive in Christ and those dead to Christ. The people of the past, present and those
still to come.
§
That every individual whose
faith is in Christ Jesus should have one common vision acted out in various
ways - the vision of the Great Commission.
In the Bible
§
That the Holy Bible is the
inspired Word of God.
o
The Word of God is alive and
active in bringing healing and restoration between God and mankind.
o
The Word of God will never
contradict itself whether in written form as in the Holy Bible or in spoken
form, past, present or in the future, and the restoration and building up of
the Body of Christ until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge
of the Son (Word) of GOD becoming mature as one body of the fullness of Christ.
That this Statement is of God
§
That our Statement of Faith is
the very truth of God the Father, and not the invention of any man. Our statement of faith originates from the
Apostles Creed (Nicene Creed), Chalcedonian Creed and
the Athanasian Creed.
