What We Believe
-(click to expand)
- The divine inspiration and infallibility of holy Scripture
(the Bible), and its supreme authority and sufficiency in all
matters of faith and conduct.
- The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the
Godhead.
- The universal guilt and sinfulness of all people since the
fall, rendering each person subject to God’s wrath and
condemnation.
- Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin, only
through the sacrificial death, as our representative and
substitute of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.
- The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the
dead.
- The necessity of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ
effective in the individual sinner, granting him/her repentance
before God and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
- The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
- The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption
and final judgement.
- The two ordinances of the Lord Jesus Christ, namely Baptism
and the Lord's Supper, which are of perpetual obligation:
Baptism being the immersion of believers upon the profession of
their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and a symbol of the
fellowship of the regenerate in His death, burial and
resurrection; the Lord's Supper being a memorial, until He
comes, of the sacrifice of the body and blood of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
