Statement of Faith

My Statement of Faith

This is my personal Statement of Faith.The Written Word of God: the Bible

I believe that the Bible is God-breathed, inerrant, infallible, inspired by the Holy Spirit and authoritative. I believe the Bible consists of 66 books and they are to be interpreted according to their context and purpose in reverent obedience to the living Lord who speaks through them in power by the Holy Spirit. The primary purpose of Scripture is to lead to faith in Jesus. It is the final authority. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

One living and true God

I believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.(Gen. 1:1; Duet. 6:4; Eph. 4:6; Mat. 3:16-17; Mat. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; I Peter 1:2; I John 5:6-8.)

Salvation

I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and salvation from sin is received only by the grace of God through personal faith in Jesus Christ. All who receive Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood, born of the Spirit and thereby become children of God.(I Cor. 15:3-4; Rom. 10:17; John 1:12; John 3:4-7,16; Acts 4:12; John 14:6; Rom. 3:10-11,23-24;Luke 13:5; Rom. 10:9-10,13; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5.)

The Church

I believe that the Church,is the living, spiritual Body of Christ, of which Jesus is the Head and all regenerated persons are members. The local church is the primary instrument of God for the extension of His Kingdom today.I believe that the Church, in addition to promoting worship and mutual edification, is to witness in word and deed to the reality of Christ as Savior and Lord, taking the gospel to all peoples, making disciples, baptising and teaching all that Christ has commanded. (Heb. 10:25; Mat. 16:18; Acts 2:47; I Cor. 1:2; Rom. 16:3-5; Gal. 1:2; Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:22-23.

The visible, bodily return of Christ and God’s fair judgement

I believe that Jesus Christ will return to the earth physically to raise the dead, judge the world, consummate His glorious Kingdom, and bestow eternal blessing on those declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ - this is the hope of the Church. The wicked, rejecting Christ as Lord and Saviour, will be fairly judged for their sins and will be banned from God’s presence forever, along with Satan and his angels. (I Thess. 4:16-17; Ro. 8:23; Tit. 2:13; I Cor. 15:51-52; II Pet. 3:13; Matt. 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; John 3:36; Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8;)
