Our Beliefs
1.
About God's Plans
God's ultimate purpose of creation and, likewise, the central, unifying theme of the
whole Bible is the
establishment under His loving sovereignty of a kingdom
of
those whom He by grace redeems and regenerates, with whom He will dwell forever upon
the earth.
They will be His
people and He will be their God.
Steps of God's
plan:
♦
Establish a kingdom under His loving sovereignty (which He has
done);
♦
Redeem to Himself a people reborn in His image (which He is doing);
then hereafter
♦
Give the redeemed immortal bodies like that of the Son of God (the
Rapture);
♦
Reward Christian service with honorable roles in the Kingdom (the
Bema-Seat);
♦
Conquer the earth for the homeland of His kingdom (the glorious Second
Coming);
♦
Judge all the unsaved by their works (the Great White Throne
Judgment); and
♦
Dwell eternally with the saved as their God and they His people (the
Age of Ages).
These precious truths are the best incentive for
the lost to get saved.
Turning
to God through Christ is the entrance into our faith. But a
thorough knowledge of Bible truth is essential for a strong faith,
therefore we study these Bible truths:
2. About God
We believe that there is one God; the author, sustainer and judge
of all things, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.
a.
The Father: We believe in God the Father, who has His
abode in Heaven. That He is Light and Love in His essence. That He
sent His Son to die for us, and He answers prayers that He hears from
His Son.
b. The Son: We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of
God, His Virgin Birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious,
atoning death, The efficacy of His shed Blood, His bodily resurrection
as the first-fruits of the resurrection of all believers, His ascension
to the Father's right hand as our High Priest and as intercessor for the
prayers of the saints, His pre-tribulation return to gather (Rapture) to
Himself His Bride (Church), His pre-millennial, glorious return with His
saints to conquer the kingdoms of earth, judge the nations and move His
Kingdom to the earth for eternity.
c. The Holy Ghost: We believe
in the Deity and the present earthly ministry of the Holy Spirit; that
He restrains Satan and his demons until the rapture of the Church;
convicts the sinner; regenerates the one who believes; indwells, seals,
illuminates, instructs, reproves and guides the believer; and that He
fills and controls every saint that is wholly yielded to God.
3. About Satan
We believe in the person of Satan; in his power and present
earthly kingdom of evil; in his wiles; in his judgment at the cross; and
in his eternal destruction in hell.
4. About the Bible
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative
Word of God, and that it is preserved faultless in the original
languages in the ‘Textus Receptus' (Received Text). The only English
translation faithful to the Received Text is the ‘Authorized' King James
Version; we therefore affirm that the King James Bible is the very Word
of God to English-speaking people, which we therefore are bound by our
faith to read, believe and obey.
5. About Man
We believe that man is a sinner both by nature and practice, and
therefore is estranged from God and in need of the convicting and
regenerating ministry of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto ‘Life',
and the bodily resurrection of the lost unto ‘judgement and
condemnation'.
6. About Salvation
We believe that salvation is a free gift by God's grace, and that
it is received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, plus
nothing and minus nothing.
7. About Heaven and Hell
We believe in a literal heaven with golden streets and a literal
hell with fire and brimstone.
8. About the Local Church
We believe in the local church, which is a body of baptized
believers who, through the power of the Holy Ghost, assemble together
for worship, preaching, Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and to carry
out the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the gospel and
to send missionaries throughout the world.
9. About Separation
We believe and practice both ecclesiastical and personal
separation on the basis of the Word of God.
