Our Statement of Faith

1. The Divine Inspiration, Authority and Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures: 2 Tim. 3:15-17; I Pet. 1:10-12; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; Psalm 19:7-11.
2. The Unity of the Godhead with the distinction of Persons in that Unity, namely the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, co-equal and co-eternal, to whom equal honor is due: Deut. 6:4; Gen. 1:2,26; John 1:1,2; John 5:17,22,23; John 14:25,26;John 16:7,27,28; Phil. 2:6; Heb. 1:1-3,8.
3. (a) That the Son of God truly became man, begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and His righteousness is imputed to all believers. John 14:3; Rom. 4:22-24; Rom. 8:3; Gal. 4:4; Matt. 1:20-25; Luke 1:35.

(b) That His death was a sacrifice to God, and a propitiation for the remission of the sins of His people: Rom. 4:25; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 9:24-28; Heb. 10:12-14.

(c) That He was raised from the dead: Matt. 28:5-7; 1 Cor. 15:20.

(d) That He ascended to the right hand of God, and is now the all-sufficient High Priest of His people: Mark 16:19,20; Luke 24:50,51; Acts 1:9; Eph. 4:8-10; Heb. 4:14-16; Heb. 7:25.

(e) That He will come again to receive His people unto Himself and to set up His Kingdom: John 14:3; 1 Thess 4:13-18; Luke 1:32,33; Isaiah 9:6,7; Dan. 2:44,45; Dan. 7:13,14.

4. That in consequence if the fall of Adam man became "lost" and at "enmity against God"; that he is also "without strength" to do the will of God: Psalm 53:2,3; Luke 19:10; Rom. 3:19; Rom. 5:6,12-19; Rom. 8:5-7.
5. The need of the Holy Spirit's work in regeneration and sanctification: John 3:5-8; John 16:8-11; Tit 3:4-7; 2 Thess. 2:13,14; 1 Pet. 1:2.
6. (a) That the justification of the sinner before God is by faith alone: Rom. 3:21-26; Rom. 4:4,5; Rom. 5:1; Gal. 2:16.

(b) That every justified one is also born of God: John 1:12,13; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23.

(c) That such new birth should result in and be made evident by holiness of life and good works: Eph. 2:10; Eph. 4:24; Titus 3:4-8.

7. That at death the spirit of man does not cease to exist or become unconscious. Eccl. 12:7; Luke 16:19-31; Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 5:6-8. That the dead will be raised either to life or to condemnation and that the blessedness of the righteous and the punishment of the unrighteous will be alike eternal: 1 Cor. 15:51-57; Phil. 3:20,21; Rom. 14:9,10; 2 Cor. 5:10; Dan. 12:2; Acts 17:31; Rev. 20:11-15.
8. That Satan is a real personality: he was created perfect by God and given power, but through pride he fell and became the father of sin, the arch-enemy of God and of the souls of men: Job 1:6-7; Ezekiel 28:14-15; Isaiah 14:12,13; 1 Peter 5:8.
9. The Church owns no denominational bonds but regards all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as members of the one Body of Christ in common with themselves and therefore welcome in the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit all believers in Christ irrespective of race provided they are sound in the Faith and seeking to live godly in Christ Jesus.
