WHAT DO WE BELIEVE IN?
IN THE BIBLE
It is the Word of God, and although it was written by men, it was guided by the Holy Spirit. (Psalm 119: 11, Isaiah 40: 8, 2 Timothy 3: 15-17)
IN THE TRINITY
One God, manifested in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Although each one fulfills a different mission, they all possess the same power and authority.
1. The Father
God is Omnipresent, He is Worthy, He is Holy. He is a loving and compassionate Father who gave His only Son to give us redemption of our sins. (Exodus 3:14, John 3:16, Acts 17:28)
2. The Son
Jesus is completely human but also completely God. He died, rose again on the third day and ascended to heaven by sitting at the right hand of God the Father. He overcame death through His resurrection. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1: 18-23, John 1: 1, Colossians 1:15)
3. The Holy Spirit
The presence of the Holy Spirit leads us to have an intimate communion with Jesus. He guides believers to all truth and convinces them of sin. He is our comforter and also gives us special gifts. (Psalm 51:11, Joel 2: 28-32, Isaiah 61: 1-3, Ephesians 1: 13-14)
IN THE MAN
Man was created in the image of God, but because of his sin he was separated from God. Each human being was created in a unique way. Only through the cross can repentance take place and forgiveness of sins be obtained. (Genesis 1: 26-30, Psalm 8: 3-6, Jeremiah 17: 5, 1 Corinthians 1: 21-31)
IN SALVATION
The only way to receive salvation is through the blood of Jesus. Salvation is a gift from God and it only happens when people have a heart ready to surrender at His feet. (Isaiah 1:18, Matthew 1: 21, Acts 2:21, Galatians 2:20)
IN THE CHURCH
The church is a community of believers who come together to learn more about the Word of God. It is committed to sharing the teachings of Christ and desires to take the gospel to the whole world. The church works in love and unity to glorify God. (Matthew 16: 18-19, Colossians 1:18, 1 Timothy 4:14, Revelation 21: 2-3)
